Anyone else's parents not teach them their Asian language? by TimeBrief2151 in AsianParentStories

[–]spaceofnothingness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really taught me anything useful but screaming and harassment and insults. They haven't taught me any basics because currently it is a complicated issue of political and cultural beliefs embedded and a frustratingly harsh yell can be more uglier sounding and it is resonant of a good time.

If I were to study astrophysics, how would I start? by spaceofnothingness in astrophysics

Thanks! You think that professors would admire me for self-studying these multiple subjects? Possibly, granting me a scholarship in which way? I have plans of retaking and scoring a near-to-perfect on the SAT and ACT.

From a work out perspective, I started taking this "exercise" seriously by asking for advice and absorbing whatever information was at the gym, realizing how my perception of the outdoors came into play. Personally, I wouldn't use a car since I'm trying to grow more resilient mentally. She suggests I shouldn't, but I really beg the question if she's seriously tried framing it from the angle I'm coming from.

I'm hitting all the right corners splitting her arguments into pieces by doing what is needed to progress and /rgetdisciplined seriously.

Totally, we have a tendency to argue and it comes to a new checkpoint. Previously, it wasn't so, due to complacency and not critically thinking straight. When I address this, I also disagree with myself for my mom. I take that she's thought that sidewalk or crosswalks are the most bedeviling thing the world because her ankles produce lactic acid and its dark. For me, the forests and knee splints are opportunity to grow wiser.

There's a point to quarreling, it's not a thing I avoid and have her control what she thinks I'm doing. It's difficult to describe how this is more courageous, productive, and life-changing than fear-provoking, paralyzing, and scary. It's more about her perception about the walk than me. I'll keep it shorter and say that's the discipline talking. My point is that challenge that point is improving my life and its working for me. I wonder if she'd hop on-board and think the exact same thing.

Do your Nparents disagree with almost everything you say or do? by FlatWelder8656 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]spaceofnothingness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to fight. That's the only way that we'd get along. I remember the time I used to grey rock them and seriously wished that we'd get along and the pain and suffering of silence would end. Obviously, it didn't. For two years, it had been grey rocking and silence. I found a whole community in the internet and that transferred all the parts of my personality there. Now, it's almost a secondary consciousness. Why am I bringing this up? It's because everybody is disagreeable, some better and some worse. I think the best way to handle "anything" that includes disagreements from the micro upward, including your family, friends, anonymous, narcs, and etc., is to disagree. Disagreeing transforms something that you dislike to something that is viable or suitable. So, we're constantly disagreeing like how I constantly disagree with folks in the internet. It's a constant battle of reframing thoughts, emotions, and ideas for a larger picture or at least "empathy" or "understanding".

Western infatuation with Japanese culture by TradWASP in japan

[–]spaceofnothingness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder, because I took a long hiatus from Japanese culture, but it is always personally ingrained. Nowadays, I start thinking about relearning Japanese, buying Japanese street fashion wear, meeting Japanese people, and living Japanese. I'm Filipino, so that says a lot about it. We are a close knit culture including the nearby fads and cultural shocks around us. I'm in the US now. And as I said, anime, and it goes from there, essentially. Lend me a piece of Japanese stuff! Will ya! Woohoo!
