Top 10 Things People Should Know About Third Culture Kids.
1. Don’t make me choose sides. I change cultures like a t-shirt.
2. Don’t hate me if I’m quick to say goodbye. I don’t miss you, but I still love you.
3. I may not always understand your pop culture. I’m sorry!
4. I’ll say weird greetings sometimes. Don’t be scared.
5. I may feel restless staying in one place too long. Relax, I’ll be on Skype.
6. I don’t open up easily so keep asking questions. I secretly want to share my experiences if you’re open-minded.
7. Living in a country doesn’t make me an expert. Just Google it!
8. Practice the art of asking open-ended questions. “What’s it like living there?” is a better question than “What country do you prefer?” or “Do they have phones there?”.
9. I’m different, but I’m human just like you. So don’t ostracize me.
10. Don’t be jealous if I talk online in different languages. Get used to it!
11.*bonus: Enjoy your time with me while I’m still here. You never know when I’ll leave.

Saying goodbye! definitely relevant to me at the moment!
I’ll be leaving university for the summer and I wont be seeing my new friends for 4 months. Talking about saying goodbye, someone randomly asked me if I would cry. Straight away I answered no. Now this seemed kind of strange to them… but to me there was no second thought… 4 months? I havnt seen two best friends in about a year!

–> quick to say goodbye but extremely slow to realize it is real goodbye
