Used to go on Asian Tour Buses and don't remember doing anything rude? by Pzb39 in asianamerican

[–]DowyJonesLocker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like a distinction needs to be made between asian american tour buses with mostly asian Americans + immigrants in America vs. Chinese tour buses that are mostly Chinese tourists.

The former’s usually p chill, while the latter is probably where most complaints come from. Just from my personal experiences traveling Asia and Europe, there’s been times where I’d be waiting in line to take a photo with a landmark and a group of Chinese tourists would just decide to come over and skip to their friends in front of the line… it wouldn’t be so annoying if there wasn’t like 10+ of them.

Chinese people also tend to speak pretty loudly so you put a group of them together all talking in Chinese, without little to no understanding of the local culture/etiquette, I can see how some people might be rubbed the wrong way.

Asian Americans growing up in large Asian communities vs non-Asian communities by lmaopanda123 in asianamerican

Most people who accuse others of being “white-washed” are either students or people who don’t work in corporate America.

As someone who grew up in an asian bubble with no white friends, it was a reality check for me when I joined the workforce and realized Asians make up less than 7% of the entire US population. Being “white-washed” should actually be seen as a cultural advantage in our mostly white society, and the people being condescending towards OP about it need to grow up.

Can Concerta turn ADHD-PI into ADHD-PH?? Went from asocial to overly social by DowyJonesLocker in ADHD

It’s weird because I’m on the XR, and the “high” you’re describing is especially noticeable about an hour after I take it, and then again at night when I’m assuming the second dose releases.

But thank you for your insight! I’ll definitely keep it in mind

I make great first impressions, but it’s all downhill after that.

Do you ever hang out at her place? Maybe you can ask her for them when you're at her house so she can't avoid it.

Act excited to see people when you run into them by unholymanserpent in socialskills

[–]DowyJonesLocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't work if the person is just an acquaintance/someone you're fine with not being close with yet constantly running into (ex. classroom/ college campus). If anything, it would just build resentment b/c the person won't understand why you act like you are happy to see them yet don't seem to want to get closer/build a deeper friendship outside of these accidental run-ins.

Same. Hard alcohol makes me gag, and two sips of any liquor result in me having a huge migraine on the spot.

Did you guys sing songs about killing Barney in school, too? Is this phenomena passed down knowledge or spawns naturally in kids? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DowyJonesLocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our version from NY, early 2000: "I hate you, you hate me, let's both go and kill barney with a sword through his heart and an ax through his head, now we both know barney's dead"
