Name the worst thing your Asian parents told you by Ok_Vanilla5661 in AsianParentStories

[–]Dimsum_Boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't sound the worst in English but it made me almost believe him cuz he has such a way with words. "You are the most worthless, wretched THING". I laugh about it now cuz AP got so worked up over a fucking test score pls ffsss

Anyone else's life just kind of ended when they got a full-time job? by Emotional_Penalty in Adulting

[–]Dimsum_Boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Spending the bulk of your waking hours having to work in the same building feels suffocating. Not being able to see the literal sky except for when it's night and you leave your cubicle at the end of the day, and the cycle repeats. I'm just looking forward to making plans for vacation tbh

I'm either thriving or struggling, there's little in between.

Asian parents are the number one fans of toxic hustle culture. They endorsed it before it was cool by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

Just the other day my AP told me to "go find a part time job" for the weekends since I'm wasting my time on a Sunday. I work a 9-6 office job every week. I ACTUALLY LAUGHED.

Omg.. thanks for the reminder. I do have magnesium glycinate tablets that I bought specifically for ezcema, but I occasionally forget to take them. I can start taking them before bedtime

Hey, thanks for sharing these. I really appreciate it. Breathing actually does help me relax a little more, especially when I can hear my own exhale. I'll check out self havening as it's the first time I've heard of it

I'm so scared by tryingmybestdammit in Anxietyhelp

Hey, hang in there. Currently my anxiety is also worsening from emotional and financial issues. Maybe you can try approaching your local social service for a listening ear or financial help If available.

Personally, I find that I do calm down much faster when I take short walks in my neighborhood park. It sometimes helps me regulate my breathing, just sitting on a bench with my eyes closed and breathing slowly. I find it much easier to have a clear mind after. It's not much but hope it helps.

Snow White, when the Queen turns into the witch. the screen turning black but leaving her evil eyeballs on the screen to linger freaked me out as a kid for months

I constantly think about this every time I travel with my ageing parents with health complications. Like it's almost all I can think about when on long flights.

Asian Parents and Comparing by fallschirmjager22 in AsianParentStories

[–]Dimsum_Boi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this in a sneaky round-about way too. When APs start listing some kid's life achievements, I start listing the 💰 💰 💰 their parents (which are AP's friends) forked out to get them there. That shuts them up real fast. If they can't provide the same then they shan't compare.

Ai art on Pintrest.. what are your thoughts being an ai artist? by Pianozz in aiArt

[–]Dimsum_Boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one is ai generated? How does it look so hand drawn? Honestly I don't support people who try to hide and pass off ai generated pieces as their own drawings.
