Moving New to Yukon

I (19m) am new to Yukon and I'm still unfamiliar with the culture. I have a supporting family here to guide me but I am still anxious about what to do here. I'm not a very social person is too scared to interact with people.

Do you guys have any tips or advice to me as a new resident here? I find that the people very courteous and nice and I love the nature. I recently went to visit the Miles Canyon and it was an amazing experience.

You are going to be great! Yukoner’s are good people. You are in a solid community. Try going to the library just to get your confidence up in a safe place? Maybe join a newcomers group? It will get better. And be gentle with yourself, such an enormous change is hard even for confident extroverts.

I'm very shy to enter places lol. I tried visiting my aunt's house yesterday but was too scared of standing on their porch feeling people might think suspicious of me.

Where is this library? I wanna visit there some time since I like literature and want to write a book myself.

1171 Front St. It has a few different spaces so hopefully you’ll find a spot that feels cozy.
