I wish you well and hope you become whatever you think is 'better'. People make fun of me because I talk to random strangers when in lines or waiting for someone at dinner. Yet the people with me are doing the same thing, just on their phones through text messages and super pokes. One of them made a comment today while waiting in line to order for lunch, "it is ok, most of my friends I really only talk to through IM anyways." We were discussing how difficult it was (not very apparently) to live out of your country. How awesome is that?
