I am half a sudanese / half egyptian woman , i came to another country in the middle east around 10 years ago , and lived there ever since , you see i have identity issues because of being half sudanese / half egyptian and living neither in egypt nor in sudan , anyways i am very smart and learn things very quickyly , i am now talking with the accent of the country that i live in not the accent of my homeland and also dress like the people in the country i am in , it feel so fake but because i am smart i make it seem as though i'm naturally from that country i look so cool when i talk with their accent and talk as though i've been living in thier country all my life , like i know everyone and everything ,also I think i am a sociopath/psychopath or a very narcisisstic person , not sure which one i am but one of those three i think , is it normal to deny my origian like not speak with my accent and try to become more like the people of the country i am in instead of keeping my identity ?

    If you're so smart, why are there so many grammatical errors in your sentence?

    If you move from one country to another it should be you primary objective to " assimilate" into that culture. Not saying you should completely forget your roots, but you should take on the language and customs of your new home.

    I can understand that you can't, and probably never will lose you accent and that is perfectly normal, and some guys actually find that attractive.I give you alot of credit for at least learning English fluently unlike the Illegals and other nationalities that come to the U.S and don't even bother to learn English and expect the rest of us to learn theirs.

    Sometimes some customs should be thrown to the wind for obvious reasons. One example is that in some countries it is perfectly O.K for Men to have sex with 14 year old girls, that will NOT fly here. Or treating Woman like property with no rights instead of Human Beings.

    Some customs should remain and hopefully passed on like traditional food recipes, stories, language, and in some cases mannerisms and philosophies.

    No matter what you should be true to your self, and NOT be something your not.

    You're just fitting in, it's no fun whatsoever to be an outcast in any society. Remember, you went there so it's your job to assimilate into their culture if you want to be a part of it. You don't have to forget your nationality, just don't let it stand in the way of progress.

    live your life as you want to, but if it causes you guilt, then change it. i'm sure you don't have to completely deny your other half to be accepted by your friends. and if they don't like the real you, then eff them; they're not good friends any way. you'll never be happy if you don't learn to accept yourself for who you are.

    the more you know...
