I'm beginning to notice a pattern when speaking with migrants from East Asia.
Can't really pinpoint the key differences but it's almost like they respond to distinctly different social cues.
What I mean by this is, I'll say something that would normally interest/engage a listener but they'll ever not notice or have their interest piqued by some random off-the-cuff comment.
It's almost like they place value on certain statements that would otherwise mean nothing in a conversation between two English-speakers.
Do East Asians notice this difference too when talking to Westerners?
Do you struggle to make Western friends?
Are we boring to you guys?
What do you guys like talking about with each other?
East/South-East Asian social cues
Do you have any specific examples?
They just hold a grudge against you because you firebombed them.
That's the thing. I don't know how I could articulate their frame-of-reference. One small example, my boss (who's a migrant) told me is that she finds it odd how white people say "good morning" to each other since this is something people from her region never really do. Instead they'll ask a question as a greeting. But things are much broader then that.
There's no grudges. It's obvious they want to be friends with us but they simply don't recognize certain statements as worthwhile. That's why I'm curious whether I inadvertently misunderstand or disregard stuff they're saying as well.
asians favourite topic :

hard to approach because most of them fear they'll bore you out.
and indeed they are really boring
Asians are really hard to talk to for some reason.
asians are insectoid people
What do asians talk to each other about?
I struggle to make white friends because white people don't want to be friends with nonwhites lol.
What white friends I do have, I talk to them just like Asians.
I've been talking to some asians on interpals for quite a while now, I also met a Japanese and a Thai girl while I was studying German in Munich, I'll give my impressions
>Koreans - talk to them on interpals
Really, really odd people. They seem to come in "cookie cutter" modes and you almost always predict what they're like. They stop messaging you outta nowhere then pretend nothing happened and start talking to you again when you least expect it. They also have the most boring subjects ever and they seem very "evasive" even when they're the ones who start a conversation with you, what follows is a literal conversation between me and 2 other korean girls
>Hi
>Hey's what up? I hope you're doing well, so what's new?
>Not.... much.... weather is bad. Your day ok?
>Hm, yes, the weather is sorta bad here too but I don't really mind it!
>Yeah.
It goes like this. I don't think they're not interested because they've been keeping up sending messages so it's really odd.
>The one Thai I met in Germany
Always taking pictures, always smiling, always going out with multiple people, seemed to be very open and tried to hit on german guys often, her English was bad.
Will continue on next post because character limit
I don't really understand but when talking to white, the topics are always really specific, like I talked about certain books with them. But if I talk with other Asian people, it's always silly talk which usually happens after you become their friends. So just get closer with them until they love to have a silly talk with you.
>Japanese
The ones I like the most, the hardest ones to talk to....
They're extremely shy to the point of (I've actually seen this) RUNNING AWAY from someone if they think you're going to make contact with them. An Italian guy in my German course tried to kiss this girl when greeting her for the first time and she LITERALLY flinched and sort of ran away from him, it was hilarious.
Also, they always seem very distant and I haven't seen a group of people who speaks English worse than they do. I wish they'd be upfront with me but they never are.... you have to "read the air" when talking to them 空気読めない or whatever.
I wish Japanese people were more approachable.
yes this is true. anyways how's your sex life?
>So just get closer with them until they love to have a silly talk with you.
To get closer to them (you?) we need to know what to talk about previously. Also, many of the Asian people I've seen told me they don't like "silly talk" but they are often guilty of... "silly talk". It's really weird dude, I don't know what's with you guys, it seems like you're always hiding your motives.
I notice that I dislike silly talks too, but when the partner conversation isn't really close to me. And Asians really have a strict rule (unconsciously) when it comes having friends. It's like sometimes you click with them and sometimes you don't. In here too, if we feel that we don't click with them, we don't try to befriend with them.
When I'm abroad, pretty much always I only talk to Spanish-speaking people and Asians, I get you.
gaijin=alien
The thing is, they are not hiding anything. Caucasoids and Negroids are continually searching for some kind of trick that isn’t there, because there is no stable interior fact to be discordant with the “deceptive” external appearance.
this might help clarify:
>... a flip side of the Japan-fetishist: a Japan-phobic. Both stop at the *mere fact* that a fleeting surface appearance exists: one of them thinks it is prestigious, and is satisfied. The other (by longer but not deeper observation), looks at a *different side* of the surface appearance, and is satisfied with the fact that it seems horrible. Neither are really interested in complexities or content.
>Everything that he says is factually correct, but his conclusions are based on a false assumption: that the Japanese or Chinese believe in absolute ideological distinctions. They do not: every single system, or rule, or belief, or attitude, or even goal, has to be moderated: and by moderated, one really means alternated. To the Japanese there is no simple belief that "X is the case", and so its negation is not the case. Rather, the simplest beliefs are endlessly complicated, since one can moderate the degree to which one believes in something whatsoever. Since the *simplest* beliefs are endlessly ambiguous, this does not leave the room for any kind of absolute logic, legal system, or architecture.
Amerindians think similarly
I can understand those sentences yet they mean nothing to me.
Elaborate please, with your own words preferably. I have no idea what you're trying to say.
>In here too, if we feel that we don't click with them, we don't try to befriend with them.
Then just say it. That's the problem, I feel like Asian are not upfront about this.
For example in Germany, you can pretty much rest assured that Germans won't hide the fact that they do not want to talk to you.... if they do not want to befriend you.
At least's what MY experience.
read here asians live communally which leads to identity struggle, which lead to latent but severe narcissism.
when talking to asian just imagine you're talking to someone who is self conscious and cant think of nothing if it doesn't involved themselves.
asian loves gossiping people they know, thats why its hard to get into them if you're not knew them for a long time and witness it.
asians loves to talk about human relationship, such as people they worship, their relatives current standing etc, they tend to avoid discussion about latest news that not really involves them.
where is that quote from?
>asians favourite topic :
>-gossiping about someone they know
>-nostalgia
>-kpop idol
wtf…(´;ω;`)
Asian psychologies have pervasive commitments to avoiding embarrassing others or subjecting them to unpleasant experiences like direct confrontation, challenging or contradicting people, and uneasiness about making irreversible decisions. Directly subjecting someone to negative evaluation, particularly people who have even a slim chance of taking it badly and getting offended or lashing out in some way, is a horrendous feeling that makes them nauseous or like they might pass out. it’s only something you’d do to someone you hate, and it’s probably too anxiety-inducing to do even then. because of their heightened anxiety Asians aren’t merciless and quick with their decisions like Europeans, who often make up their minds and refuse to entertain ideas again after staking out a position on it.
Jesus...
lol, this is too funny.
I don't think a Japanese person would survive one day in this jungle I live in, considering what you just said.
Lol. True. Sounds like a Japanese person would be bullied into suicide within a day of interacting in any of the harsher countries. Or bullied into a school knifing or something.
Poor japs, really sheltered, they are.
Or we are the poor ones... who knows!
bump
>German automaker Mercedes-Benz has apologised for “hurting the feelings” of people in China after its Instagram account quoted Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, seen as a separatist by Beijing.
>Pyongyang's periodic insistence that the statements of foreign leaders or officials that disparage the regime have “hurt the feelings” of the North Korean people...
Caucasoid regimes seem to find it funny that this language is used in diplomatic discourse, but they don’t get that Asians regard people’s feelings with the importance that whites assign to abstractions like freedom or equality.
>MYERS: According to this race theory, the North Koreans, by virtue of being especially pure-blooded are also the most virtuous race in the world. And this makes them as vulnerable as children on the world stage. And just after Kim Jong Il's death, the official news agency put out an article saying that under Kim Jong Il's rule, the people had been like naive children without a care in the world.
this is a correct assessment of racial characters, and the reason why North Korea needs nuclear weapons to preserve itself from the innately vicious and bullying conduct of Caucasoids
>The Vietnamese foreign ministry voiced its displeasure with the president's comments, calling for the Seoul government on Friday to refrain from making comments that could hurt the feelings of its people.
I don't have much experience with Chinamen. One of my co-workers is a 45 year old Flip who migrated here about 10 years ago. Anyways he works with a bunch of Spics but I never notice anything off about his interactions with others. In fact he gets confused for a spic sometimes lmao.
>literal muh feels
kek
God damn I love posts like these.
Only an American can say something like that and make it funny, Europoors are never this funny.
nigga people here UNIRONICALLY think that its a GOOD FUCKING IDEA to create law which prevent anyone to give an opinion which could HURT TEH FEELS.
personally, born among asians is such a hellish experiences, you naturally hate white, blacks and other foreigners but you are unable to communicate with them at the same time
unable to communicate with other asians*
there isn’t a word with as much weight behind it in English, because Europeans don’t structure their values in the same way. this is what “feelings” mean:
>Jeong is difficult to define. One Korean-English dictionary defines it as “feeling, love, sentiment, passion, human nature, sympathy, heart.” Although it is complicated to introduce a clear definition of jeong, it seems to include all of the above as well as more basic feelings, such as attachment, bond, affection, or even bondage.
>One of the important characteristics is its “location.” Jeong seems located not only inside of our hearts but also outside. In other words, the location of jeong is between individuals. It can be difficult to understand an emotion as being seated outside an individual’s heart, yet it may be related to the idea of collective emotion.
>The earliest time an individual is exposed to the experience of jeong is when a baby is held and carried by his or her mother. As the mother’s warmness permeates to and is felt by the baby, so to the jeong permeates to the heart of the baby. This type of jeong is called “mo-jeong,” which exists during the remainder of the person’s life. This total trust of life and person without logic or reason starts from the earliest experiences of life... As a child grows older, the jeong experience will expand to include interactions between him/her and the father, friends or other relatives, neighbors, and members of the community... Jeong can exist not only in the interpersonal space between people but also between a person and objects, such as a house, book, or hometown.
>The manifestation of jeong in a social structure and in social values is primarily through loyalty and commitment without validation, logic, or reason.
whites don’t seem to instinctually value this as much, which probably is what leads them to create multiracial chaos societies
>you naturally hate white, blacks and other foreigners but you are unable to communicate with them at the same time
Well what you just said makes you a disgusting person, but you see, I don't give a fuck because it's your opinion and you're allowed to think like that for all I care.
Guess Asians are subhumans in this regard, lol, not even in Brazil people think you should be punished for having an opinion. Way to go guys.
>which probably is what leads them to create multiracial chaos societies
Multiracial societies are a thing of this century only though, it wasn't the case up until some years ago in Yurop. Actually, most European countries are still majority white so...
At least for now.
no, this was evident in the insane pan-mediterranean mixing of the Roman Empire, the churning Germano-Slavo-Celto-Hunnic hordes of the migration period, and the much greater long-range mobility of people in Europe even in the Iron and Bronze Age. it’s a kind of restlessness, openness to novelty, and weak regard for collective solidarity and unity that isn’t too purturbed by uprooting yourself to live amongst foreigners or admitting strangers into your midst
Doesn't seem like it was bad for Yurop though, after all, just look at the advancements and the great people that came from Europe during those times.
Who's the Leibniz or Planck from Asia?
Heisenberg?
They don't have people on that level, really.
At least not that I know of.
