Cultural identity? I’ve always believed that cultural identity is what your ethnicity or race is. But no, apparently, it’s much more complex.

At present time, my anxiety was at the bottom of the bar where I was comfortable with everyone I knew. I’m a completely different person once I’m comfortable with you compared to me first meeting
