I totally did the same thing back in middle school. People kept on asking if I was foreign with how I talked and I was too self-conscious about it that I just started saying I was European.
You get the British thing too?
My speech impediment makes me sound British to people. Looked it up and apparently others, although it's rare, in similar situations are also confused for Brits too.
The funny this is - when I talk fast, people probably think I have a more "street" British accent with words blending together. But, when I try to slow down - it doesn't sound American either - it sounds like a British narrator, due to focusing on it I over pronounce instead.
Plus, in reality, I actually have no "belonging." I could say I'm British and it wouldn't necessarily be a lie comically, because I could literally be an alien for all we know (although that's a serious stretch and impossible) - point being, as an orphan with no knowledge of the past... my background is multiple choice: anything I say could be the truth because there is no truth or at least no truth that I know. I start saying I lived in the UK until I was 8 then I moved... then it becomes a lie lol. But, where's the harm?
