If you are an immigrant who have lived in this country for more than a decade or two do you sometimes or more increasingly in my case feel that you don’t ‘ belong’ anywhere? When in my acquaintance circles here I get seen as the outsider, not in any wrong sense of the word it’s more or your family are not here kind of way. I make effort to join cultural events from my country so that I keep in touch with my roots and of course to introduce my daughter to her cultural roots as well. However increasingly I have noticed I feel overwhelmed and over stimulated in these events- the conversations feel either superficial or stagnated and stale- it often boils down to people of similar age groups who have spent similar amounts of time here having the same issues- like the decision of to move back or not/ aging parents etc so it could be that the lethargy is setting in. I however feel stuck between two worlds with no real connections- I do love my own company maybe I have got used to it- however I never thought I will feel this way when it came to my natives. Anyone feel this way?
