  • if I did, I would have to be obliged and follow their cultures

    This doesn’t seem true to be. There is no culture police who will come and enforce the way you live your life to follow the norms of your ethnic label(s).

    I don’t have a culture

    This is impossible. Everyone has a culture. You may not follow all the cultural norms or traditions of where you are from, but it is guaranteed that who you are was impacted by the culture you were raised in. There is no such thing as neutral, otherwise you are saying your personal culture would fit in everywhere in the world (Mexico, USA, Italy, Russia, Japan, Philippines, etc).















  • Do you have platonic friends? Humans need a community to be a part of, so if you don’t have one you should start by finding one. Recognize that companionship comes in many different forms, not just romantically. Just because you have hit pause on pursuing romance, doesn’t mean you should become a total hermit (unless that will make you happy, which it sounds like it wouldn’t).

    Find people with similar interests and hobbies you can connect over. Show up to places consistently so you can start to know the people who are doing the same things you are at the same time you do them.




  • Yes off the top of my head our parks system is emulated world wide and generally the most impressive aspect for visitors of our country.

    We also have unparalleled accessibility for people with disabilities. Try to get around Europe in a wheelchair. You won’t have a good time.

    It is relatively easy to start a business.

    We have the top universities in the world.

    We are the best place in terms of medical R&D, as well as scientific research in general

    We are above average in gender equality (though there are certainly places that are just as good or better). I wouldn’t want to be a woman in the middle east, for example.

    We have the best road connectivity, though obviously quality of those roads could be improved.

    We provide more humanitarian aid to foreign countries than anyone else (depending on your perspective this could be good or bad).

    Should I go on?
