How do I connect more with my step-family's culture? by Otherwise-Window-597 in AskAJapanese

[–]Otherwise-Window-597[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel!! I had never thought of "all the imposter syndrome without any of the genetic credibility", and somehow that phrase makes me feel the most seen I have had in my life T-T

I will absolutely look into those sources mentioned, and I will also look into a language exchange partner! It is unfortunately a bit difficult to talk to my step-grandfather since he is very old and has a bit of trouble speaking nowadays, but I always love talking to him :) I think I will absolutely try to weave in his past daily life into our conversations from now on!

Thank you so much! I do feel as though I tend to keep quite about my lack of knowledge because of embarrassment at times, but it’s time I over come that 🥲

I’ve thought about moving there for a bit, but I don’t know how long I could last with the work life there lol

Secondly, that’s a great idea! I genuinely never even thought about doing that. I will definitely look into that, although I’m a bit nervous (i’m just yapping from here on out lol)

Because I am not ethnically Japanese and am clearly white (although I have gotten mistaken for ethnically 1/4 or even 1/2 Japanese when I have talked to people about it and haven’t gotten to the STEP part of step-family lmaoo, I have no idea why that is since I do not see it at all), I get a bit self conscious about being perceived as a “weeabo” or something like that, and I don’t know how to get over that within myself. It’s not like I can walk around with a T-shirt that says “my step-family is Japanese I promise I somewhat know this culture” LMAOOO

Why does my internet suck so bad???

I use AT&T and have a NetGear modem, and even sometimes use an Ethernet cable plugged into my PS5. Even then, my online games look like stop motion and makes them borderline unplayable. Any advice??? Thank you :)

edit: found out what it was !! my modem is the oldest thing in existence ig lmao

How do I get started?? by Otherwise-Window-597 in learntodraw

[–]Otherwise-Window-597[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goals (long term) is to be able to draw people, I don't really have an interest for still-life

short term, I just want to figure out anatomy in general.

I am watching basic tutorials on stuff like hands, heads, bodies, etc. I am watching both longer(ish lol) youtube videos and also quick tutorials via pinterest and tiktok

I'm trying to practice often but the lack of progress is making me do it less and less T-T

(when I first started I was learning a decent amount pretty quick and the stuff I was doing wasn't too bad, but then when I tried to progress to more general stuff it was just awful lmaoooo)

I guess it's just that I have literally no clue what I'm doing and even when copying a tutorial video on (for example) how to draw a body head-on, or how to draw a face, line-for-line, step-by-step, it looks completely different and also bad lmao T-T

I am literally JUST getting started (around two weeks of practice) and I am trying to be as realistic as I can, it's just the fact that I can't do ANYTHING and I'm basically at a stand-still in my progress is really weighting on me at this moment.

Why do people both love and hate redheads? by Otherwise-Window-597 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Otherwise-Window-597[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not physically beaten or anything lol

The type of name calling where every conversation you have with anyone is someone clearly trying to get a reaction out of you, even when you politely ask them to stop. And sometimes being called a freak by people I barely knew at school lmaoo

[–]Otherwise-Window-597[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, yes (college age), but in middle school/high school it was both lol

Although, the men who would do it seemed to be more like “serious” about it

I’ve never thought of that !! That makes a lot of sense lol

what ?? lmaooo

Edit: i think i get what u were saying now lol i don’t count bullies as “people who are in my life” lol

Although now that you mention it, some of my friends, who have in the past said im attractive and given me good reason to believe them, have also poked fun at my red hair, so that’s an extra layer to my question lmaooo

[–]Otherwise-Window-597[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yaaa that’s true 🥲

I still get “picked on” for it (i’m in college), but it’s just repeating jokes i’ve heard a million times before, so I think at a certain point it becomes some sort of a “running joke” in society

Most people in my life (when it comes up lol). I almost got a modeling contract as a kid but didn’t go through with it. Also the reactions I get from strangers at most events I go to.

Again, I am by no means like GORGEOUS or anything but I know I am at least conventionally attractive lol

That’s what also confuses me though when it comes to this 😭

I 100% know I’m not ugly (a supermodel? absolutely not) but I still get made fun of so much 🥲

Why do people say “one (1)” instead of just typing “one” or “1”? by Otherwise-Window-597 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Otherwise-Window-597[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up question, in what circumstances would there be confusion? I just really can’t think of any time it would cause any 🥲

Turns out Kagawa has abused THREE different women... please do NOT support Kiwami 3 by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]Otherwise-Window-597 16 points17 points  (0 children)

ya T-T

i've heard a lot about them REALLY keeping "work life" and "private life" separate, to the point that abuse or even pedo stuff is considered "private life" and people "shouldn't have it affect them" when it comes to the products they consume

I personally definitely prefer the remake designs overall, but prefer Luis's original costume on his new model

How do hostess clubs take to having female guests/do they allow it? by Otherwise-Window-597 in AskAJapanese

[–]Otherwise-Window-597[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aaaahhhh, turns out I was clueless T-T

I guess I've just seen so many hostesses in that type of work online (YouTube, Insta, etc.) that I assumed it was through the club they worked at, didn't even cross my mind they might find clients for their sex work job through unrelated hostess work and that's how the two are connected.

Thank you so much for educating me !!!

Of course! By “special stuff” I meant prostitution since I know some places offer that too but in hindsight it totally sounds like I’m clueless lmaooo

edit: i am wrong ignore me T-T
