I’m an expat working in a UK factory and still learning the workplace culture.

Recently, I was moved to a new station where I work alone and have no one to talk to. Today, due to personal stress and feeling overwhelmed, I decided to leave early.

My manager asked what happened, and I was honest: I told him I’m dealing with personal pressure and I feel isolated at the new station. I asked him directly: "Am I being moved because my performance is poor?"

His only response was: "You are not a problem."

Is this just "British politeness," or is he genuinely telling me my performance is fine and I’m not in trouble? I’m prone to overthinking and would appreciate some local perspective. Thanks.
