Do you need to be "tough" to live in America?

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?

I think I watched too much American TV it’s kinda hard for me to do the German accent now and it feels weird to do tbh

Unless it’s absolutely perfect, a native speaker will pick up your accent…how’s your “th” that’s usually a dead give away for native German speakers.
