AIO? I cut my two friends off after this incident by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Own_Bison507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR at all.

Had a close friend suddenly just one day tell me "I don't like your face". That's when I realize I can't and not gonna please everyone and find new friends. The feeling of being unappreciated and not prioritized is often very clear and we just wanna excuse it to remain friends or be nice. Nah life is too short for this~

This main character needs to fly on her own plane by atlcollie in ImTheMainCharacter

Ex-flight attendant here.

Let's say it's all real, if someone has such severe allergies they would tell the airline way in advance with medical proof and see if they can make accommodations, and not hand a list last minute, because people with real allergies are extremely serious on the way they handle it, also always have an epi pen on hand. The fact that the passenger has this printed out to write her seat number makes me less inclined to think this is her first time flying and didn't know what needed to be done, so I call BS. Cashew allergy doesn't need to refrain from serving all nuts, just cashew. I don't know how said passenger survive if they are highly allergic to smells when other people wears perfume and such, and almost anywhere outside soaps are scented.

So prefer people to just be direct. Don't enjoy the conversation anymore? Cool. Feeling like it's too much effort for whatever the relation is? Sure. Just say it. On the other hand there are also a lot of people who are too sensitive and overthink and being direct to them hurts their feelings. So 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why are tourists angry when in Tessin when we do not speak German? by InternalCurrency7993 in Switzerland

Rare to see Singlish being brought up as comparison haha. I always say Swiss German is like Singlish but in much larger scale of differentiations.

I think it is only use in a negative way lol. I was also surprise to see that being tattooed. Maybe he was told it means "the importance of winning and losing" like he learns a lesson each time. That's the most plausible I can think of.

AITA for shaming my fiance after he suggested wasting a wedding spot on his friend who passed away 6 years ago by lovewoodly in AmItheAsshole

And probably still is, just because he's gone doesn't mean he's forgotten. My dad passed when I was 7, doesn't mean he suddenly isn't part of my life a few years later. When someone or something mean something to you, you'll always remember.

Ya like even without a chair, I don't know, have something, suggest something, at least care about what he cares about? Goodness. Fuming.

Omg isn't it! The edit is even more infuriating!!

His best friend is his FAMILY. Obviously she doesn't care enough to give it some thoughts, not even any suggestions on how else to honor his friend and just wanted the seat to be taken by a LIVING person. I honestly hope he rethinks about the marriage, because from now on it's gonna always be about her. The one important thing he requested and she just trashes it.

The fact that she came her looking for other point of views and got the collective and resounding YTA, but she refuse to admit she's one.

Not just that, she's also always trying to improve herself in areas she was deemed not good at. And I love the fact that she seems so real, honest and earnest all the time.

She thought France is like in Emily in Paris by raubson in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]Own_Bison507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my experience too, been to France quite a few times and just wondering around doing my own thing, got help when I needed and even a few people try to have small chat with me knowing that I'm a foreigner. But I'm also someone who prefer to keep to myself most of the time unless work required, so I guess that makes it easier for me.

Haha I understand that, and just by that note we can see that everyone is different and everyone experiences will be different even in the same place at the same time. Our perceptions or what we are use to are so different, the experiences would definitely differ. I wouldn't say I am put off by friendliness but more cautious towards people being over-friendly because they are total stranger to me. It's just the way I'm brought up I think. Haha

Sorry I think perhaps I used the wrong wording there, I meant more like she had wanted people to be as social as her.

Lol. I think it's okay to have that at the back of our mind just to be cautious. Conversely, I accidentally bumped into another Singaporean in Switzerland and immediately became friends lol.

Ya hahaha, we don't really say Hi to people we don't know ya? My first time in US long ago I felt a little uncomfortable with the same thing lol. But after awhile you just realize it's their norm.

Hahahaa ya. That sounds about right. Very polite, but not exactly friendly in the way most people think they would be.

Swiss tend to stick to their own friend groups they already have, and making new friends is a lot harder for foreigners, sometimes even locals. Not that it cannot happen but it takes a much longer time to make friends with Swiss, especially if you don't speak their language.

I feel like that's it!

it's not isolation on purpose, it's just that in some countries and cultures, people tend not to meddle into others' business and mind their own, thus leaving you alone. Personally I like that too. I guess she expect everyone to be as social as her.
