According to Kimiâ, how did her successful transition to living by the cultural codes of France change her personality in the book, Disoriental?

Kimiâ states explicitly a number of ways that her successful transition to living as a Parisian had transformed her personality. She states, "The talkative, sociable child I used to be has turned into a Parisian adult with a face that closes off whenever I leave the house. I have become – as I’m sure everyone does who has left his or her country – someone else" (56).
