to feel your self expat, doesn't require to live in other country which is not yours. does any one of you feel his self expat at his own country,  missing his family, feeling stranger between his society and can't integrate with them?!

k!nk

Give more love, trust, hope.

If your definition of "Expat" is "missing his family, feeling stranger between his society and can't integrate with them", you have a very strange view. I call such people "anti-social", "outcast" or "miserable".
Generally, Expat means "living outside of birth country", or also "living outside of home". Since "home" is a relative concept, you can feel not at home when you return to your birth country after many years abroad. That is called reverse culture shock.
(I have lived in many countries and always felt "at home" quickly - thus have I never been an Expat?)

ugly duck or beautiful swan...appearances can be deceiving.
just i mean, i felt disappointed every time i observe a bad behaviours: cheating, lying, bribe,... so one person can't change a whole society!
should swim with the current or against it, both difficult.
