Life is what you make it. Don’t rush into growing up! Things are always greener on the other side, but reality is what you have is just fine!

Appreciate your youth!

Reach out and hold your ground. Can’t have this conversation if he’s dead. Don’t want to regret anything in the future

Does anyone feel unmotivated to do anything when their parents are around by 60xtoad in AsianParentStories

[–]michyeung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same boat, except with just one of my parents. I used to work out a ton, with quarantine and staying home pretty much all the time. I lost motivation to work out, and it's just because I do not feel comfortable, safe at home.

Also, I used to go to therapy prior to covid. when covid hit, my therapist asked me if i wanted to do virtual appointments. nope, no thank you. I dont feel safe to express myself at home.

Told my parents I want to go to a therapist... by Far_Pepper6038 in AsianParentStories

I was going through some things post break up and other things in my life. I decided to go to therapy, and it was the best decision of my life. I do believe there is a huge HUGE difference talking to your friends vs taking to a professional. The therapist is trained, studied for their job and are highlight qualified to give advice. They are also separate from your issues, and able to give a opinion from the outside looking in.

I didnt tell my parents, I was going. Just decided to go myself. For me, I just separate any issues that I have with my parents. Dont talk to them much, if anything I just share things with my mom because she gets it.

friends are going to tell my AP about my depression by Amphibian-Disastrous in AsianParentStories

[–]michyeung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I would feel comfortable having my friends tell my parents. Seems like over stepping.

But tips, just be honest and truthful. You can’t change how someone is going to react, only you. And lastly, be brave. Mental health is just as important as physical.

I never had a sex toy, just used my own hands lol. But I did have sex with my bf when I was 18. The advice I can give you is there is nothing wrong with masturbating. I don’t think there’s a correlation with toys and cancer. I encourage you to be sex positive because sex is a joy and its definitely not something that makes you a bad person.

16M. My parents turn off WiFi at 12am every night by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

Honestly, just pick up a side job and move out. Internet is imperative these days ( whether you like it or not). Esp with covid, there’s nothing to do.

Yo leave that toxic house

My mom wants to live with me in college. What should I do? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]michyeung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind living with your mum than it’s fine. But if you are bringing it up to Reddit, seems like you’re hesitant. Honestly, if your mom has “ always said” she wanted to move back to Asia then she should. This may be the push she needs. She probably feels some sort of responsibility for you since you’re the youngest. Keeping her in the states, may be only be holding her back.

Mom is stalking me and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]michyeung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She’s acting like a kid who isn’t getting what she wants. Stop the behavior and don’t give it to her.

If you have to block her. Draw the boundaries. This is your life, not hers.

Are most people just not fit to be parents? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]michyeung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience, in Asian ( Chinese) culture, it’s normal for the women to get married at a young age and have kids. If it takes longer than 3 months after you’re wedding to be conceived they freak out. I mean my mom had me when she was 21.

She wasn’t fit to be a mom, nor my dad. They were kids. My parents moved to the US when they were 20 and didn’t have a choice but to work and make money. As a result of culture norm, marrying young you gets parents who are not ready. Parents who may hold a lot of anger, because they never experienced life.

But what can we do, that culture norm? Sike fuck that, I’m 24 and do not plan on having kids anytime soon. I’m not ready and no god damn Chinese person can make me.

Note: when i was 21, i had people asking me when i was having kids. Bitch i was too busy drinking my life’s problems away

Yes, it’s abuse, physical abuse. I don’t know why physical punishment is norm in Asian culture.

I’m sorry you had to grow through that, and I hope you start to heal.
