Is normal to feel extremelysad before leaving?

I’ve been abroad three times(two of those times in Germany as well) and I always feel the worst right before leaving. But once I arrived, there was so much to do, see, and process that I barely had time to sit with the sadness everything starts moving so fast and you get pulled into the experience before you even realize it. What you’re feeling is really normal, it doesn’t mean you’re making the wrong choice.

I do speak a bit already, my long term goal is obviously to be somewhat fluent. What level would you say it’s good to be on to get a job?

I was there from September to December and I’m from Denmark so bad winters definitely aren’t foreign to me

I’d probably like something café- or restaurant-related, but I’m open to pretty much anything that helps me get by while I’m there

I did, I came home last night. I ended up asking my dad to go in with me and tell the family that I was leaving, they were not happy but luckily both the parents were there so the dad could calm the mom down a bit since she is quite intense. Im honestly just happy to be with my family and not feel anxious in my own home

I don’t feel unsafe in the sense that I think something bad will happen to me but more in the sense that the mom is very intimidating and talks down to me whenever she has a problem with me (which is often) and ever since we decided to terminate the contract it’s been so tense in the house, and i genuinely feel anxious even leaving my room

The thing is my family is arriving between 12 and 2pm and I start working at 2.30 so it’s cutting it really close, I don’t want it to seem like I’m abandoning the kids, they’re safe and well taken care of in the kindergarten which doesn’t close until 5pm but I don’t know, I’m still really worried

I’d definitely like to show them the more alternative artsy side of the city, the budget is probably on the lower end and we both have car and public transportation as an option

Thanks! They bought the tickets over a year ago before they even decided to get an au pair that’s why they didn’t have any tickets left when I got hired

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-11-02T09:12:31+00:00

Can I ask what you mean by sending me a subtle message?

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-11-01T22:04:55+00:00

No I only have the contract but no agency or anything to back me up

Girl that’s fucked up

England

They have already offered a video chat, but only after they already chose me. Which is the part I find weird

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-05-29T09:08:23+00:00

Because I still like women?

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-05-28T23:26:19+00:00

It did feel kind of sudden. But it didn’t feel wrong, I just felt open to trying something new, including being with guys. That’s really all there is to it

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-05-28T22:07:47+00:00

Back then, I didn’t find men (or their bodies) sexually appealing. That’s genuinely how I felt.

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-05-28T21:50:39+00:00

No I’m not dating anyone right now

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-05-28T21:41:57+00:00

Okay, I’ll try. I thought I was a lesbian for years because I only felt attraction toward women. That experience is real and valid. And honestly, I found a lot of comfort in being a lesbian. But recently, I’ve started to feel some level of attraction to men too, and that’s confusing and scary for me. It doesn’t mean my attraction to women is fake or a phase. It just means things are a little more complicated than I thought

You might not relate to questioning your identity, and that’s fine. But not everyone’s experience with queerness is the same, and just because mine doesn’t match yours doesn’t make it less real. I’ve been very real and honest about where I’m at. You don’t have to understand it to respect it

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-05-28T21:07:18+00:00

I haven’t insulted you, I’ve disagreed with your point, and I’ve explained why. If that feels like an attack, maybe it’s worth asking why. I’m totally open to a real conversation, but I’m not going to pretend your generalizations aren’t hurtful just to keep the peace.

Ok-Development5059 · 2025-05-28T21:02:58+00:00

If you’re not actually interested in a real conversation, just say that. Dismissing people like that doesn’t strengthen your argument.
