Well that is just it. You are outside your comfort zone. It is just like learning a new language---you use wrong words, conjugate the verbs wrong and offend people. It's just a natural part of the process till your brain starts snapping to it and doesn't need to think when talking to, becoming instinctual. The anxiety I was describing was if you are doing the same thing you always do, meeting the same types of people, and you are getting anxious. Here, you are in completely new situations where the old instincts aren't sufficient, like being in a new country where English wont cut it.
You just have to think twice as hard till it becomes natural. After some time, you don't even realize that it comes naturally to you.
This ties right back to your other thread: you are doing things for yourself for the first time, figuring out who you are.
