I have that exact feeling, but with opposite circumstances. I'm Brazilian and I hate their openness, lack of general propriety, disregard for rules, unpunctuality etc. My ancestry and my family's culture perfectly fit the Brazilian mould, but I don't. I also DESPISE the warm weather all year long. I'm aware that I come off as bitter, but it's all true. I don't fit well here at all. I spent 1 year in South Korea and I felt more at home than ever before. I'm introverted, which is seen as a bad thing in Brazil, but in Korea I felt normal. People weren't loud and intrusive, they were generally reserved, punctual and respectful. My boundaries weren't being constantly challenged the way they often were in Brazil.
Is it normal to feel like you were born in the wrong country?
