If you get along super well with your hostfamily, consider yourself blessed. If not, that’s where the deep problems start. I gathered this from others/personal experience. It can be this way, but it doesn’t have to. Really depends on hostfamily.
At the beginning, you have the guest status. Your hostfamily (let’s focus on the hostmother) is polite to you and accepts that you need time to adapt. It is when you leave that status that it hits you like a punch in the stomach. You are starting to being criticized for everything that you do. How you eat, speak and stand. Selfdoubt begins and puts everything in question you did over the past months. Your hear things like “You do this always wrong”. When she stops sugarcoating her words. You are shocked because it’s the first time you hear this. Now tell me: What happens if your whole personality is the reason? What happens if you’re being told you need to change to make this work?
How can an introvert become an extrovert and vice versa?
I don’t happen to know the answers but I hope to find them along the way.
