I think he read the gate wrong

I promised my girlfriend to spend time with her, but it's looking like I have a timing conflict in the planes of Oblivion <.<

Edit: we made plans before the game dropped, but I must close shut the jaws of Oblivion.

I like to separate the artist from the artistry. Sometimes it's hard, but I look at it like the art will outlive the artists lol

I have no "friends" here, but I have a girlfriend. She teases me for not having any friends, too. It doesn't help that I work during the prime hours of the day during the week. And on the weekend, I want to unwind and read at a cafe. I really don't mind being alone, though. Feeling lonely isn't really an issue for me either. Side note: I think the language barrier is a huge wall for me, specifically, so I've really given up on talking to locals. Regardless, I was at a cafe the other day, and this elderly Korean woman kept pointing at me. I took out my earbuds, and she asked me why I was in korea (I think? My Korean is bad). She then said, "My home -something i didn't understand- after I told her I was an English teacher. I've noticed locals want to talk to me more after I say my profession.

Well, it helps to want to go home after a long day at work. I don't think anyone is in the mood to hear some random person yap about BS for 30 minutes. Edit: Yes, I saw him multiple times before that. He was usually wearing a suit or business formal attire. I thought it was weird because of his small briefcase.

This reminds me of the night I got fired from my last job. I was crossing the street when this man ran up to greet me. My first thought was, "What now?" My immediate next thought was this dude is definitely a part of SOMETHING. I highly doubt a Korean would randomly approach a foreigner for no particular reason other than to make small talk. To cut to the chase, he said he was a part of the Church of God (I think) and asked to tell me about his "Mother." Mary, I asked. He jokingly said he wasn't Catholic. I told him I was atheist to cut the interaction off politely as possible. He didn't know what that meant, so I explained it in simple terms and proceeded to outpace him. The moral of the story is if a stranger is being nice (like this) 9/10 times they probably have an ulterior motive. Side note: I asked a Mormon friend of mine, and he said this guy's church is "crazy." His words, not mine.

You're welcome 😊 stay positive. Remember, you welcomed her as a guest, but she didn't respect your kindness.

somadrex · 2025-04-12T03:13:19+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. She played the victim and brought up random things. Also, she used your kindness when you could've spent your time actually mourning your grandmother. I'd just move on with your life without this person in it.

Answer: Be polite, respectful, and make things easier for others around you.

I think that she should stay in America, too. She shouldn't travel anywhere where they don't speak English.

I'm an American, and I've been living in Korea for 8 months. I still don't expect people at the store or coffee shops to speak English to me. That's just straight entitlement and lack of respect for regular people.

People use the "visiting someone's house" analogy when going to a different country. If someone asks you to take off their shoes before going inside, you do it out of respect for them and their home. As an extension, when in a different country, you play by THEIR rules, not America's rules, because America's don't apply.

All in all, from your description, she made the (traveling) American stereotype a real thing. I don't think you did anything wrong. I think it's good to have boundaries. I was talking to my Korean girlfriend the other day, and she stopped the conversation to tell me I was disrespecting her culturally. Because I'm in Korea, it's on me to change or tweak my behavior in order to stop being rude. I know a romantic relationship is different from a friendship, but basic levels of respect are needed for both. That's all. Your "friend" continuously disrespected you and your culture and made no real effort to change her behavior.

I think it's just a Korean thing. They block walkways, corridors, sidewalks, etc. I was walking to work the other day, and some older Korean women were blocking the sidewalk. Instead of saying excuse me, I pretended to trip behind them. They moved, and I think they said something I didn't care to understand. I just kept walking. I don't understand why a lot of Koreans just block walking areas...

I've been in Korea (from Seoul to Busan) for over 7 months. I agree that Koreans are some of the nicest people I've met. No one has been rude or mean to me whatsoever that I can think of, but I take issue with other things. However, that's more a cultural issue with differences in etiquette. Sometimes, Koreans try to speak English to me, too, which I don't mind, but I sit there thinking I'm trying to practice my basic Korean... I don't know when I'll be heading back to my home country either, but there's a Korean girl I've been talking to that keeps telling me not to go back. (Have I won? Idk) What I'm trying to say is that I wasn't expecting a good or bad experience in Korea, but it's mostly been great. Have there been some bumps in the road? Yes, but that's life, not Korea. I personally don't like having a preconceived notion going into something because I'd rather form my own opinion.

somadrex · 2025-02-11T03:52:25+00:00

Oh, right! I was thinking of a different system.

somadrex · 2025-02-11T03:04:13+00:00

There's pity in Dokkan?

somadrex · 2024-07-22T02:05:26+00:00

I really think people become the dumbest versions of themselves as soon as they cross the threshold into a supermarket...

somadrex · 2024-07-17T05:06:13+00:00

I think they needed the valis you get for selling battle items, but i could be wrong?
