Does knowing too many cultures make you lonely?

[UsulMuaddib]

I am a person who reads and watches a lot. Even though I cannot directly experience a culture that I read or learn about, I research it so much that it is as if I have experienced that culture and if it feels appropriate for me, I adopt it. Now the real problem is this: I'm very interested in Asian culture (not because of K-pop and anime) and I know and feel comfortable with almost most Far Eastern cultures. Maybe most of you don't like it, but I also like some Arab cultures. Our own culture already has a special place. I don't need to explain the Western culture anymore, we live it willy-nilly (don't get me wrong, I'm not denigrating it). When I adopt a culture, I don't only talk about customs and traditions, I look at the social media agenda, memes, humor, written or video content, etc. of that people, and I meet and chat with someone from that culture in touristic areas. But then I return home and daily life, and I see that I have no one to talk to around me. I have no friends, no one who understands why I laugh when I laugh.

No, being alone - without real connections makes you lonely.

I'm familiar with a lot of cultures, lived in two different - friends from many and therefore I spend a lot of time with people from different cultures & traveled a lot. I'm interested in cultures, their norms morals and how they influence the people within said culture. (Heck I'm even interested in cultures - within cultures, my current obsession is bikers). I'm by far lonely - despite of feeling loneliness once in a while.

Oh no... No, it isn't knowing about cultures that's making you lonely... It's that you're appropriating other cultures as your own and that is inappropriate.

You're making a weeabo/koreaboo of yourself and that's what's making people avoid you.

I'm interested in certain aspects of Jewish culture but not the entire cultural diversity of Judaism - just fractional components of their teachings and music that I enjoy or find interesting and inspiring. I've also watched Islamic videos that interest me too. I believe all human beings are capable of intelligent thought or teaching and this isn't isolated to any religion or people.

No, but it does make me want to travel and learn about other cultures.
