I have lived in 4 countries (Kazakhstan, US, UK, Philippines) and I have lived first 11 years in Kazakhstan and then I moved abroad. Now I live in the US for 1.5 years now.
Lately I feel so awful about my identity because I can’t connect to people in my own country (Kazakhstan) because I don’t understand some references and I am starting to forget the language but also I can’t connect with Americans as they are culturally different from me. It seems like I can’t connect with anyone. I am told that I am too foreign for my country and too foreign in US. I feel like I belong no where. It frustrates me so much that I am thinking maybe I should settle down somewhere after 9 years of nomadic lifestyle which I do like but also led to this.
Pls help. Should I delve deeper into my culture or try to find belonging in the US? What should I do? I know I should embrace my unique identity but I just want to feel at home somewhere.
