I recently turned 18, so I decided to create a reddit account and find people to talk to. A little back story about me, I grew up in rural Missouri in America, homeschooled, and up to this point I’ve never really had any friends. But, since I was about 5 years old, I’ve had a fascination with the UK. Because I was homeschooled and really left to my own, my culture was really what I made it to be. It started out as a fascination with the late Queen and the royal family, but now it’s spread to literally every else that I can learn about the UK. I’ve consumed really nothing but UK television, social media, culture, really anything i could find relevant to the UK. In doing so I’ve acquired something of an encyclopaedic knowledge of British culture and traditions, to the point where I was asked by a global politics professor about British politics and how Brits broadly feel about American culture . I gave him the broad consensus. I often find that most people, including myself, think of me more as British than American. I’ve even noticed that when I speak some of my vowels have shifted to more of an RP/ south eastern accent. All of this backstory is just to ask, are there any people who are willing to just have friendly conversations with me. Not about anything in particular, I am just trying to find people who will understand my pop culture references or generally people who understand British culture and appreciate an outsider who is trying to make his way inside.
