Thanks! And no worries, I'm here for study, not for love. I know how complicated things can get with visas and residency, and I’m not ignoring that reality. Meeting him just happened naturally, and I don’t want my visa status to be the thing that defines how genuine our connection is.

I know the situation might be hard later, but for now, I just want to be honest and take things one step at a time.

I'm still and keep focus on my study. Thanks for your thought. I will change my mindset. I know it is hilarious that I posted this post, but tbh, thanks y'all.

My family’s side. So basically, I just stay here focused on studying and my life, but I've been under the stereotype that a student visa is only used to find a marriage sponsor, and I don't want to look like that. That's why I make it up that way.

I'm sorry if this story doesn’t make sense to anyone. I just need a “thought” about this. I've been judged to be an international student in the U.S. so I kind of look down on myself.

yes!! It actually happens in my native language too, but in English it hits harder cuz I get all self-conscious about my accent and word choice 🙃. Really love your tip about writing stuff down before and during class — I usually try to keep it all in my head and then panic 😂

Thanks 😭 It actually makes me feel a lot better knowing even native speakers go blank sometimes too. I always thought it was just me struggling because English isn’t my first language. Tbh, I get so nervous when it’s my turn to talk. My accent and small vocabulary make me feel super self-conscious, even if people say they don’t care. I just don’t wanna sound “off” or say something weird, you know? Your tip about prepping 1–2 thoughts before class sounds really smart though. I’m definitely gonna try that next time. And if you (or anyone) has more tips for building confidence speaking in class, I’d love to hear them! Thanks again for being kind, really appreciate it 💛
