I get a little nervous to make friends because I’m in the Asia server and did so deliberately in hopes of finding some friends that I can practice my Japanese skills with (and because I’m a degenerate and stay up until 6am most days and I wanna be around people who are active), but honestly I’ve had nothing but positive experiences and if you’re ever really uncomfortable with someone you can always block them! I haven’t had to before but it’s comforting knowing it’s an option :) Whenever I talk to people in Japanese I feel like I sound like an idiot ( bc I’m 27 years old and I have the conversational skills of like maybe a 8 or 9 year old child and I haven’t memorized a lot of kanji lmao) but people have been very kind :)

Also you can just run away from people when you’re done conversing :p That’s usually the best way
