After Living Abroad for Several Years, i Feel Like a Stranger in my own Country. Everything Seems so Different and i Can’t Seem to fit in Anymore. how can i Cope With This Reverse Culture Shock?

Dear friend, I completely understand how you’re feeling. It’s completely normal to experience this sense of disorientation after being away for so long. Please know that you’re not alone in this journey. Remember, just as you adapted to a new culture abroad, you have the strength to readjust to your home country too. Take it one step at a time – start by reconnecting with old friends, exploring familiar places with a fresh perspective, and embracing the changes as part of your unique life story. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories. You’re not losing your identity, but rather enriching it with your international experiences. Soon, you’ll find your place in this beautiful mosaic of cultures that is now uniquely yours.
