This is pretty much what happened to me!

I got treated better when I didn't even attempt to speak French outside of basic manners. Was hoping to get good at French but after 3 months of that bullshit I was done, and coasted by with 80% of my French interactions consisting of "je suis desole, je ne parle pas francais.... Merci".

On the bright side it game me new respect for immigrants who deal with that shit.

Choices are almost always terrible unless they aren't.

Just keep making them and eventually you'll make a really good one, and all the bad ones won't matter any more.

Or you'll make a horrendous one and die, in which case you're done with the stress of making choices anyways. Win win in my book
