TCK

Ever heard of that!?
Here's what it implies:

TCKs are often multilingual and highly accepting of other cultures. Moving from country to country often becomes an easy thing for these individuals.

Many TCKs take years to readjust to their passport countries. They often suffer a reverse culture shock upon their return, and are constantly homesick for their adopted country. Many Third Culture Kids face an identity crisis: they don't know where they come from. It would be typical for a TCK to say that he or she is a citizen of a country but with nothing beyond their passport to define that identification for them. They usually find it difficult to answer the question, "Where are you from?"

TCKs have a globalized culture. Others can have difficulty relating to them. It is hard for TCKs to present themselves as a single cultured person, which makes it hard for others who have not had similar experiences to accept them for who they are. They know bits and pieces of at least two cultures, yet most of them have not fully experienced any one culture making them feel incomplete or left out by other children who have not lived overseas. Many choose to enter careers that allow them to travel frequently or live overseas.

They tend to get along with people of any culture, and develop a chameleon-like ability to become part of other cultures. TCKs can isolate themselves within their own sub-culture, sometimes excluding native children attending their schools, or defining themselves in relation to some "other" ethnic or religious group.
# 45% of TCKs attended 3 universities before earning a degree.[26]
# 44% earned undergraduate degree after the age of 22.[26]

OMG, scarily accurate!

A guy in school mentioned this to me just after i arrived... and it made me feel so much better!
I'm not just a random freak... it's normal that I don't feel like I belong!!

I talked to Saba about this yesterday, and Fredrik...
And it's sucha weird feeling not being able to feel that u belong in "your own country"
It was sooo difficult for me to move back "home" aka Sweden... and to be honest, I dont' belong, and I will b leaving as soon as i get the possiblity to.
Even my mom has understood this, which maybe is a bit sad!
As i've mentioned in an earlier post, that doesn't mean that i dont like sweden, I just don't fit in anymore...

Good night ppl
