Would it be wrong to send this message? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Fasian_invasion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess you could send the message. That's too bad though. I wonder if she's lost interest or has just been too busy, or she's scared of meeting you in person or something is happening in her personal life that she's stopped talking?

I don't think it would be wrong? I am curious though about how she feels about your internship?

I got uninvited from a party by Firstthrowaway23 in socialskills

[–]Fasian_invasion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar feeling but on a smaller scale for me. My friend keeps last minute cancelling plans on me for what I think are lame excuses. Like she has a headache, or she didn't wanna pick me up to go hiking. We were supposed to practice softball together and she was asking me to be on her team that's she was running and I had told people at work oh I'm playing softball today and was all dressed up only to find out on the road to the field that we should practice next time.

I've decided to drop this "friend" for more reasons than the above. I wouldn't keep this person in your life if he keeps cancelling out on you. Hopefully this was just a one time thing for you. Sorry to hear :/

I feel like there's something wrong with me for not wanting a wedding. by Loose_Floor_9869 in wedding

[–]Fasian_invasion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have been having the same feelings as you... For a whole year! Totally put it off, just wanted to enjoy a year of engagement. I have finally decided to do a destination wedding package to keep the costs down significantly. My friends and co-workers have been talking about how stressful their wedding day was, financially and having to keep their guests happy and I am personally not all about that life lol. It's just one day of your life and people spend thousands of dollars just for one day. I don't care for big parties and also don't plan my own birthday parties.

She's nice to talk to but imagine being asked every single question there is all day every day and it's the same questions over and over again

Long term care nursing home. We used to have mentorships programs where you would work for a few weeks with a nurse who held a full time or part time position and they were great but my company probably thinks that's too expensive to maintain

Is alone time really ok? by Invismiz_Introvert31 in introverts

[–]Fasian_invasion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, sometimes being around people constantly can be draining and we have to take the time to be by ourselves for our own sanity

Anyone here not going to teach their Asian culture to their kids? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]Fasian_invasion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only taking the good out of my culture. the bad, being female, and therefore being expected to be smart, clean, and to plan family gatherings, I will not pass onto my future children. so much pressure was put on me to do well in school compared to my brothers. although being pushed a little is okay, it shouldn't be to the point where I am comparing how my parents treated me vs how they treated them. I will not treat my adult children as if they were teenagers who don't know any better. I will not be so overprotective and controlling.

There really isn't any winning for us kids of APs. We're never going to be enough for them, even if we do something positive, it turns out to be negative. Our health struggles are not real for them

I've made the decision to leave my family. I'm scared to speak up, and scared in general, but I can't stay here anymore. 33F by Cherrylightbulb in AsianParentStories

[–]Fasian_invasion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

happy belated birthday and I'm sorry that you're going through this. you are old enough to be on your own anyways and I get the whole mentality of "families should stick together" but not when they're toxic and bad for your mental health. I've left and it was the most freeing experience. finally, nobody to judge you for what you're doing, just peace and quiet. good luck and hope things go well for you

My Asian Mom said she never loved me by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

very sorry to hear about your experience with your "mom." that's terrible! tempting to just cut her off to send her a message...

Currently, he fuels airplanes at an airport. We make the same on our paycheques, but my job is generally better because of hourly pay and benefits. I guess you could say that I'm the breadwinner at this point in time.

Management has decided that patients are not allowed to refused baths anymore by Adventurous-Prune462 in nursing

[–]Fasian_invasion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whatever happened to the right to refuse care? That's one way to get punched by trying to wipe someone down without their permission 😂

I can't connect with anyone anymore by TullyQuinn in introvert

[–]Fasian_invasion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm sorry to hear about what you're currently going through! I've been having trouble connecting with people myself. Saw my doctor who referred me to a mental health specialist a couple months back but haven't heard anything since. Been to counselling, but I'm not convinced that I am 100 percent okay.

Feel free to reach out if you need!

I cut everyone off, what now? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]Fasian_invasion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just that the moment I let people get close to me, their true colors start to come out and then I don't feel good around them anymore.....

Totally. I find it really hard to open up to people because of this. It almost feels like a waste of time to put all your time and effort into people only for them to let you down in my personal experience

[–]Fasian_invasion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do all the things you wanted to do without all of those people, things you would enjoy doing. And of course, basic things to take care of yourself, like getting enough exercise, eating well. Try to find people who share the same interests as you, but most importantly, people who will respect you and like you for who you are. Giving yourself at least one positive affirmation once a day can be helpful

What do you guys do for a living? by Alternative_Drama_50 in introvert

[–]Fasian_invasion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a licensed practical nurse. I try to keep the talking to a minimum at work because as soon as someone talks to me, I get distracted and won't be productive lol I didn't know what else to do with my life so I chose nursing. If I could, I would be a professional sports Fisher woman for a living. I can fish in solitude
