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?
As an American who has lived in Germany and visited on a dozen occasions I can confidently say you’ll be fine.
You’ll think Americans are too nice. As soon as they hear your accent they will get pumped and ask you all sorts of questions about where you are from.
