Is it wise if I quit going to meetups?

[Muz1234]

Meetups are just draining my energy, every week/2 weeks they organize this international meetups near my place in city.

I met few Japanese, but some of them are just think about themselves, not about exchange each other, etc...

What do you think?

 

[mdchachi]

If you're not getting any benefit or enjoyment out of it then yes you should probably do something else.

 

[Muz1234]

What should I do? Learn Japanese by myself at home?

 

[Grandpa Frank]

Learning Hebrew might be more useful than Japanese unless you are planning a trip to Japan in the near future.

 

[Muz1234]

Why Hebrew?

 

[Grandpa Frank]

I thought it was a common language for the Mid-East , guess it's not?

As an introvert who likes talking about things on the internet… yes very wise! 10/10 would recommend! If you find it draining don't go! It's your life you don't get a second chance to live so live in a way you don't regret!

As a fellow introvert, I suggest gently pushing yourself in this area. You will have to interact with people throughout your life, and not interacting can lead to a loss of social skills. Some people would argue that this has become a major problem in high-income countries, exacerbated by the pandemic.

as we say in yoga, don't push it to the point of pain, but in discomfort lies growth. And yes, as with all other skills, if you don't use your social skills, you lose them.

Do you guys have problem with Chinese people?

Do you guys have problem with Chinese people?

No. I find them refreshingly direct. Are you ethnic Chinese? (My manager at my favourite employer, who is also a friend from university, is a Chinese Malaysian from Sandakan, though she may now have naturalised and be British.)

 

[Muz1234]

No, I am not Chinese...

 

[Lothor]

No, I am not Chinese...

Do you have a problem with Chinese people? And why are you asking if others do?

I only have problem with them in terms of language...

Plus, majority of the women are stuck up...

The language is quite hard to learn.. but the women part I can also understand, I wouldn't say a majority tho… most of the girls I know are really caring and funny! (As women myself I don't like being mean to people unless it's actually deserved and even then I feel guilty ) anyways have a good day <3

 

[mdchachi]

I heard Chinese is much easier than Japanese. I don't know, I only know Japanese (and English).

hearing things like "majority of the women are stuck up" reminds me of a saying:

If you run into three assholes before noon, you're the *** hole.

 

[Muz1234]

How about unfriending toxic people on Facebook, would that help?

 

[mdchachi]

Yes of course. Unfriend and block anybody causing you stress and not adding value to your life.
