I'm not even sure I figured out that bit about knowing the answers until I finally sat down to write this post. But, yeah, most of my day-to-day social awkwardness comes with just trying to get through simple transactions. If I can just order a cup of tea, then great, but if the barista wants to make conversation, anything could happen, and happen badly.
For what it's worth, I think it's damn brave of you to have picked up and moved to a country where you knew literally no-one. I doubt I could do that.
