Did you ever feel like you don't fit into the culture of the country your living in?

I'm swedish and was born in Sweden but my parents work for the foreign service. We were posted to Spain, Tanzania, Guatemala and Mali for 3-4 years in each country.

We just moved back to Sweden about 4 months ago where I will finish school. Although I'm pretty outgoing I often feel like the odd one out among my friends and classmates. Also my swedish is not perfect and I can't get rid of a french accent when I speak it, which is always commented upon. I don't now why but it seems like I don't fit in in my own country anymore.

Is it normal to feel that way and is it going to go away with time? Did you ever feel similar?

Please Answer :)
