For the past years, I’ve been telling myself “I hate my life”. I just dont like how things are happening, it’s getting harder for me. I feel like everything is in my way. I’m turning 20 this yr. We moved to CA about 6 yrs ago. I have difficulty making friends cause I think I’m weird and awkward. I also have anxiety that makes me nervous when talking to ppl, I am very shy person, I have no confidence, my self-esteem is very low. I want to change myself but I don’t know how. Living here in this country is hard for me, since I don’t speak english very well. I wasn’t really anxious or depressed before we came here, before I have so many friends and relatives that could support me when I’m down. Moving back to my country is not an option cause my parents decide that we stay here forever. I don’t want to burden them with this feeling I’m having. And also, I havent talked to anyone abt this, only on this site cause it’s anonymous.
What should I do? Should I go to a counselor? Talk to a friend/family? (I don’t think I can).
Please help. Any life changing advice would be appreciated.

Get yourself a life coach if you want to change yourself. A friend of mine was a shy person and later got herself a life coach and now she’s a completely new person
Sounds like you could be adjusting to the new change? Also, your family doesn’t decide your life decisions – you do. If you feel it in your heart and soul that you want to go back to the country you’re from, then by all means, do it! Why torture yourself? I know it’s not easy, but you have to find what is best for you and do it, even if others don’t understand. It takes a lot of courage and faith, but it helps you grow. Cheers!
