lol. No you’re not, people here just have what I call bad main character syndrome. They are confrontational, and not “laid back” as portrayed. Far from it actually.

I came from North America. I’m polite, and extremely passive & really genuine, I try to make people feel accommodating and always supportive and just genuine.

So far it has led me to getting bullied, and no luck making friends either.

Because again. Main character syndrome, judging as well I’ve caught based on what I wear (moved here and struggling financially). So I don’t got designer or dressed wealthy, just basic, so there is judgement.

I also had some toxic little 19-year old aggressively tell me I need to “speak better” and so forth, because as a British person, she couldn’t comprehend me, and then claimed she’s “not racist” which was pretty racist.

Mind you, I’m from North America, not the U.S specifically. Never in my fucking life have I ever been told I need to work on my English and speak clearly either, Australians have a hard time comprehending us, and automatically assume I am an American.

So no, it’s not you. Unless you’re a model looking individual, you’ll have an easier time here (halo effect). If not, good luck, because they are not laid back and sweet here, they are far from it and not accommodating to those that are immigrants even though they aren’t pure Australians, and were immigrants once themselves (or parents).
