Re: how do u assimilate in the western society?
assimilate mean per Meeriam Webster Dictionary : "to make similar"
the ans to ur qs is
you don't .
you only pick and choose what is nice and good from other cultures.
now, you can adapt what is good, but remember to keep alive what you know, fromyour own societal values and culture And hopefully that is good and life constructive.
becoming confused and ripping apart ur identity, when it is a good identity, is not a wise thing to do.
making friends in the adapted cultures is alright and it is a good thing, but not at the losss of what you truly know is right from ur original culture, and especially since it is your own :>
it is a very precarious line to walk on.
balance is the key.
best,
