Yo for real though. Even though I was born with UK citizenship, I didn’t grow up here and I don’t really fit in. It was hard at first, but life immediately made more sense when I mentally dropped the expat thing and started fully thinking of myself as an immigrant. I never did fit in in America anyway, so I have the mental framework in place already.

Isn’t the whole thing with expats is that they explicitly keep their US citizenship? Most the self described expats I know are overseas military that married a local so my perspective may be skewed here.

Yes perhaps, but once my family has their UK citizenships sorted out, getting rid of our US citizenship is going to become a realistic option.
