Returning Home: The Unspoken Challenges of Reverse Culture Shock

ShitarSlime

Hey everyone! I just returned home after spending two years abroad, and let me tell you, the experience has been more challenging than I anticipated. I'm dealing with what they call "reverse culture shock," and it's tough! Has anyone else experienced this? I could really use some advice on how to cope.

Oh, I totally get you! I went through the same thing when I came back after living abroad for three years. It's surprising how difficult it can be to readjust to your home culture. You're not alone in this, and I think it's essential for people to talk about it more openly.

Absolutely! I can relate too. I returned home last year after spending a year in a completely different country, and I felt like a fish out of water. It's like you expect everything to be just the way you left it, but reality hits you hard when you realize things have changed, and so have you!
