My father is Arab and mother is Indian. I was born and raised in the UK, but I constantly feel split between multiple worlds. I don't belong to one place and i dont mean to sound snotty, but i have never met someone who is like me apart from my older brother. It's like pulling a string from multiple ends. Hence, I just keep my flag as British. I'm a lot more, but at the same time, a lot less than just a British flag in real life.
Ah I see that’s interesting, I have a kind of similar thing but not to the same extent since I’m not mixed ethnicity. Both of my parents are ethnically Indian (all of my grandparents moved to PK in 1947, so my technical ethnicity is “Muhajir”) then i was born and mostly raised in the UK, but I’ve never really felt like I’m properly engrained in either one of the cultures. I’m not religious like my parents and a religion is a big part of the culture. But at the same time I don’t really feel as “British” as some of my white friends. Especially with some of the political stuff going on recently (which I won’t elaborate on since you already know) it feels even worse.
It feels like a first world problem to be concerned about this kind of thing, like there are defo people that have worse going on but I still feel torn between identities
Ok. I didn't go into detail specifically because I don't want to talk about my struggles or problems in life, but that plays a huge role in why I feel left out. My point is I haven't met anyone that had the upbringing that I have had who made it as far as I have. I am very grateful for what I have been blessed with and my innate talents, but I find myself isolated, not because of where I'm from but that also plays a role in it. I wouldn't say I belong from either of my parents' home countries and have no patriotic feelings to any country I am associated with. It's difficult to explain without oversharing, so I'm just going to stop here. It's probably still a minor problem and others probably have it worse, but all I will say is that it hurts more when you see everyone around you have things that they take for granted when you don't have any of it yourself, and they don't appreciate it. Their perspectives tend to be so different from mine that it isolates me from them. I've overshared again like I always do, so I'm going to stop here before I yap my whole life on an online forum.
