Just have to rant a bit
I've been living here in southern England for a year and a half now, and maybe because I'm over that one year hump I'm just feeling more and more frustrated.
The town I live in seems to have a population of mainly 60+ years old people. Not everyone obviously, but a noticeable chunk. I work at a corner shop a couple of times a week as I'm getting an associates degree online, but just those 2 days leave me exhausted and emotional. Every single person has to ask where I'm from, why I moved here, do you support Trump, you should've stayed in America, who would want to move here, etc and they just have this LOOK in their eyes like I'm something shiny and new. Like an entertaining toy. They'll laugh at how I talk, like my whole existence is so amusing. It's only ever about me being American.
Nothing else.
Like my whole identity is that I'm American. People even introduce me or describe me like that, like I don't have any likes or dislikes, hobbies, or goals. Just that. The American.
I hate the fact that I stick out as soon as I say something. That people stare at me. It's not me being paranoid either, because I've had it pointed out to me.
I know I should have expected it, but I didn't think it'd be this bad or get to me as much.
Just needed to rant about it. Thanks for reading, guys.
