  • Whats really funny is that when you meet new people, they usually ask you "Hey, so where are you from?", as a conversation question or out of courtesy/politeness and...

    I end up having to tell them a lonnng story, to answer a simple conversation opener question.

  • I'm relatively new in the ATCK self-identification. 2 years ago when s.o. told me about this concept I thought that sounds like me. For the first time I felt there was a term to describe me. The more I learn about it the more I am glad s.o. came up w/ this term. This video is awesomely describing how I've been feeling since I was about 3 years old. I was born in England to Turkish and Algerian parents and I grew up mostly in Istanbul and lived in the US for the last 3-6 years.

  • Then again, some of my U.S. friends have trouble answering "what state are you from?" because they grew up in a few different ones. It's all relative : )

  • As a kid, I'd say "Technically, I'm from (passport country)." If asked why "technically" I'd say we moved around a lot. Sometimes I'd say "I'm from my parents" and leave it at that.

  • I thought that I would say "from deymos" (it's a moon of Mars) but somehow I never dare.

    I have a friend who enjoys puzzeling people by telling them where he just was in the previons hour. like " I finished work one hour ago"

  • @soulofbass does it piss-off people? lol

  • @babydoll1891 unluckily they look at me like a freak when I do that!

  • @stargen5 sounds sensable, I think I will try

  • I say I'm from all over but I consider Virginia home.

  • I just say I'm from all around the world...
