It did, once upon a time. (Pardon the pun. It was too easy.) Back home I was called as a Slayer and found out all the monsters from every story I'd ever heard were real. And believe me, I seriously freaked out for awhile. But eventually I moved past it and it became part of everyday life.
And then arriving here, and finding out the nice parts were real too, that was a lot easier. I actually think it's a lot of fun, being able to meet people like that. These are experiences I never would have had back at home. But I totally understand being freaked out by it. There are some people here who never get used to it. But I hope it starts to get better for you.
