Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I’m a Cascadian than an American.

    I’m a special snowflake and I don’t really identify with people in any particular area. Though I guess I do know my tribe when I meet them. But we don’t really have a name. Intellectual hippies maybe.

    If I had to pick one then probably my neighborhood is how I would identify.

    My primary identity is Dravidian, and more specifically, Tamilian. Rather than Indian.

    I identify with Norwegian and western european liberal values. I believe in free speech, democratic values, science, press freedom, human rights, unity, being compassionate, a strong welfare state, equality, womens rights, lgbtqia+ rights. I also have a sense of feeling that all europeans are my peers and that we are a collective. When Russia attacked Ukraine, it felt as if they in some way also attacked a close neighbour, a friend and our way of life.

    I feel connected to my city, my region, the EU and Germany in that order. Which is how it’s supposed to be I guess, except that EU and Germany are swapped for some facist reasons

    I’ve lived outside my country of nationality for years at a time. I’ve realized that I probably feel Scandinavian first and foremost, my nationality coming second to that.

    I identify mostly with my country (Brazil). I honestly identify more with a somewhat local football team (soccer team, for the americans) than with my state lol.

    Though I’m from the Netherlands, my father had been living in France for fifteen years now (and we spent ten years in that area renovating the house).

    So I consider France to be my second fatherland.

    Like a medieval peasant, I’m living now less than a mile from where I was born. The US is too big to feel culturally attached to it, but my city, yeah, I am very “from here”. Like when I was a kid we’d wander around the ghost town of a weekend downtown, and as I grew up the city became populated and revitalized, it grew up with me.

    In another country I usually say Florida, and if it’s a Spanish speaking country then people start speaking to me in Spanish.

    I feel a deep connection to the place I was born. I have heritage here.

    In my 20s I moved around a lot, lived in other states, other countries.

    I’ve lived in 5 different regions of the country. I definitely feel like I’m an ‘American’

    Both? So the best way to put it is I identify with my hometown and my state, identify less with my nation without totally “not” identifying with it, and identify most strongly with the land I came from before then.

    I’d probably identify myself as a hikikomori. I’ve had zero meaningful offline connections for more than a decade, and at this moment, I haven’t set foot outside my apartment not even once for almost a year (although there are far more serious reasons for this than just my personality). In the future, if there will be an opportunity, I’d like to move to Asia as a digital nomad working remotely. I don’t expect to make any irl connections there either, but I’d be happy to immerse myself walking around oriental slums, parks, shrines, seaside and enjoying the local cuisine.
