Basically...My parents, mainly my mum is telling me to 'fake' it in front of people that I dun like!! <_< Shes like why do u have to pull that face? -huh What face!? It's like I aint dun anything -cry2 Bt the thing is she knos I dun like them [If u read my other post about my Auntie gettin burgled...its her daughter that I dun like... and her son...bt hes okies now] Jus think shes so stuck up and think she knos it all... Like hello u only a year younger than me so how much more can u kno u lil *bleep* -censored Argh..just does my head in! Just like yup I'm spolit and I like talkin down to u lalalalala what u gonna do -angry-dead-noclue I talk to her IF I HAVE TO!! Which is basically never!! Bt yeh... Blah blah blah Like my mums sayin if u can do this or that in front of people u dun like then u will be 'sing gong' <_< Er...whatever! Look like I said I'm not rude to her or whatever... Like she talks to me I reply bt I aint gna turn around and act like her best mate am I!? Plus my mums makin out that I have to make extra effort in order to be 'sing gong <_< Why would I put myself deliberately in a position like that for!? -angry *Sigh*'
ah chinese parents or people are like that face and respect are everything, so they want you to act that way otherwise it may reflect badly upon them dont take it too hard, its just the way things are, im sure they cant help it, my parents are like that if you honestly cant fake a smile now and then, then dont force yourself, theres nothing wrong with being yourself in the end
Wah... I dun wan her dead u kno >.< Jus dun wanna associate with people like that Theres a difference between being fake and POLITE to people u DUN LIKE And I'm polite!! ^^ I dun turn away or whatever if she talks to me or whatever... But my mums making out like u kno them stoopid Chinese sayins bout like if u can get close to ur enemy or whatever then u will be sucessful... Bt like WTF <_< Thats what I consider bein fake... Like whats the point? I'm doin what I have to do and thats it *Sigh*
Guess this is the time when eastern and western cultures clash with each other. Best is just be who you want to be, and not pretend to be someone else. Hope that your ma will see your point and accomodate you on your points.
I know how that feels, but your mom has a point. Sometimes it's best to throw on a fake smile to keep life peaceful. Chin up. -^_^
aww mui mui gum cham geh -hug......but like they say they your relatives at the end of the day....do you see them often??
R - E - S - P - E - C - T I know what you mean, I get that from my mom a lot. I also refuse to fake it in front of ppl.
^ hehehe yup my rents are like that too....and its like so important to say hi to all the aunties and uncles when you see them....like every single one >.<
not to say fake but i shall say tolerate...as long as they dun cross my line i won't pull a face....if u dun like to talk to them there is no need to pretend u like them...just talk less and be polite...
seriously though i don't remember their names sometimes especially my distant relatives lol and i also hate being so respectful and shit lol
lol it's alright. most of us asians have to put up with that crap. but i always think about if its worth it to flip out or not to. and if you weigh out the differences, then you'd know what to do.
Hmmm...I'd say go ahead and be yourself, but know your boundaries. Draw a line between dislike and disrespectful. You have your parents to think about. How you behave reflects on how they brought you up...at least, that's what my parents always tell me...
Hmmm...I kno what I have to do Like I'm polite to her and stuff even to my other relatives I have no idea who they are -sweat But yeh...when she makes comments and stuff its like wtf!! Gwan lei mer c aR -dead Yiew!! Stooopid stuck up girl! Hmph! But yeh I say Hi do what I have to throw in a smile ^^ But Mums makin out I should be her best friend or something <_< Thats abit far...-mellow
i guess shes just asking for a good old kick up the a$$ eh.....so do you have to see her much?? os is it one of them rellies that you see like 2-3 time a year??
