Do you need to be "tough" to live in America? (self.AskUSA)

Hi European here.

I always heard America is pretty competitive and that the people are very direct/speak their mind.

I'm quite the sensitive person, so I was wondering if it could be hard for me if I would ever go to America and if I needed to become more "tough".

And would someone like me even be welcomed or would I be rejected?

Pop tarts are part of a balanced breakfast. 😉

I suppose if you were to hold one in each hand...? 🤡

That's no way to think like an American! We demand shelf stable "food" whose flavor can best be described by its color (such as red). 😉

No way. Pop tarts are defined by whether they are "warm" or "cold".

That's very classy of you to warm them.

Not always, hence balanced:-)
