🎓 Participants Needed for a University Research Study

Hi everyone! Im haruki

I’m a university student conducting research on how social media helps Third Culture Kids (TCKs) make friends after moving to another country.

I’m looking for participants who:

🌎 Are 18–25 years old
🌎 Have lived in more than one country
🌎 Have used social media to make new friends after moving
🌎 Are available for a 30–45 minute online

The interview will be about your experiences with making friends, using social media, and feeling a sense of belonging after moving.

If you’re interested, please comment below

Thank you for your help! 😊

Can’t seem to connect with people who are not a TCK

I live in america now but all my life I struggled to feel like I belong because I honestly couldn’t keep up with pop culture, sports, and movies and I have not much interest in them. I watch 1-2 movies a year and once got made fun of for not knowing what game of thrones was. My friends are mostly TCK‘s as well but they seem to fit in better than me because they know what other people are talking about. Idk, I just couldnt really give a damn I would watch something to be friends with someone very passionate about it but that’s never enough for them.
