[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Foreign service and military kids are very good at it. Short tours of duty are a focusing experience. There's more at stake to make friends because they're starting from zero. They get to practice making friends every time they move. [/quote] Yes but in My experience foreign service brats often make shallow friendships and aren’t good long-term friends. They have weird attachment issues. We can just move on quickly. I think sometimes they can experience this weird attachment in romantic relationships as well. They create emotional intimacy quickly and make the other person feel like they are very into them but it doesn’t really mean anything.[/quote] I disagree, and we were a FS family for a while. My kids (in college now) still have friends from elementary school that they travel to see and we host them at our house when they visit. I also have two friends we met overseas and 20 years later we are still friends. [/quote]
