First of all I'd like to note that "culturally dysfunctional" a term invented completely by my best friend/sister/soul mate. However I believe it perfectly describes the both of us.
Its not easy being a third culture kid.. on the outside you look a certain way and people treat you according to a stereotype even some friends. That made me realize that people see you the way THEY want to see you.. only your real friends see you for whom you really are.
They see your flaws but they also know what makes you..you.. they never misjudge you even if they argue with you and always give you the benefit of the doubt.. they always encourage you to follow your heart and not give a rat's behind what other people think because they see you no matter what your actions are.
So being culturally disfunctional comes from basically not really fitting into the cultural mould you are "meant" to fit in. So for me being what I am makes certain people treat me a certain way..either being overly comfortable or overly reserved depending on which perception they get.
Truth is I never really sold these labels to people to make them think I am those things.. however I havent disagreed with them either..I only care what a few people in my life think and the rest can think whatever they want.
usually i'm against blogs like mine because it makes me feel like the blogger is explaining themselves yet claiming to not care what others think.. i'm simply thinking loudly :)
there's more to come.. ;)
