Hi European here.
I always heard America is pretty competitive and that the people are very direct/speak their mind.
I’m quite the sensitive person, so I was wondering if it could be hard for me if I would ever go to America and if I needed to become more “tough”.
And would someone like me even be welcomed or would I be rejected?
My parents came here from the Soviet Union in the early 70s, speaking not a word of English and with $50 in their pockets. They did fine. Our story is pretty common.
