I feel this way often and I speak the same language. But maybe you could join an intercultural group, there must be one close by! I see that you live in Australia, but I know that America is becoming very culturally diverse, and different languages are nice! :)

senga remember that the majority of people are all consumed with their own self  awareness,,,,,,being busy thinking of their own appearence,,,,,,,I am not being frivolous with your worries,,,,,,,I empathize with you........keep going out and just smile,,,,,,am stuck in my house and dont go out at all.........have all my food etc delivered......do not go this way,,,,,,,,KEEP GOING OUT.......good on you for getting out  .....

o well i mean i think its normal to just be afraid of what people might think because u speak differently. thats just my opinion.

You're putting too much emphasis on this and worry.  Just be yourself, people are very accepting and most like accents.  You are who you are and people will like you for that reason!  We're all unique, and different and you can't change who you are so just go with it. Start smiling and saying hi to people, the more you do it the easier it will get. You can't worry this much about what strangers think of you, just be yourself and I'm sure you will meet lots of nice people.  Take care.
