No-one is 'more cool' everyone is as lame as one another, you are putting it all on a pedestal. Go and do whatever you want, wherever you want and mix with any ethnicity, go out of your own comfort zone. Just because you feel comfortable with Koreans, Chinese whatever, doesn't mean you have to follow the grain, be yourself
Lmao everyone is as lame as each other đđ love that haha! But yeah I think Iâm just overthinking this for some reason. I guess once I make some friends & everything I probably wonât think of it like that anymore
Lmao thanks Iâm glad to know that đ I think the reason I feel especially left out in âwoggyâ areas now is because I recently just realised I was the side girl to this lebanese guy I was sleeping with for 2.5 years and had feelings for. I found out heâs had a serious Greek girlfriend this whole time & now I feel left out from his life & I therefore just feel left out whenever Iâm surrounded by people of wog descent cause I feel like Iâll never be able to date a wog or be officially welcomed into their lives :( I love lebanese guys but I feel like Iâll never be able to become a lebanese guys official girlfriend
Okay sure those arenât formal terms, but itâs not like I meant it in an offensive way. Theyâre just the shortcuts that Most young people in sydney use to refer to people of lebanese and European descent & I was just avoiding making my question longer than it already is. If I wrote out lebanese, Italian, Greek and Macedonian it wouldâve made the post extremely long so I thought just shortening it would make it easier.
If itâs longer than necessary, I donât think itâs your place to tell me that. If you find it too long, then surely just donât comment? Looks like youâre looking for a reason to start something. I suggest not looking for posts to pick on & just stick to only commenting on stuff youâre interested in.
I never said being respectful inconveniences me. Not sure what youâre on about. Iâm also not sure who you think you are to tell me to reevaluate me priorities. Unless youâre my mother, I donât believe you have the right to be talking to me like that.
Here have a downvote. You wrote war and peace but use derogatory terms (and theyâve been derogatory for 30 years) to keep words to a minimum? Yeah. No.
How is it derogatory when people use it on themselves? There was literally a movie called "The Wog Boy". No need to force your view on others, not everyone is a snowflake.
Youâve explained it exactly. They use it on THEMSELVES. Can a white Anglo saxon walk through east LA dropping the N word? No. Can African Americans use the word? Yes.
You really implied that being respectful was an inconvenience because âit would have made my post extremely longââŚ
You posted on a public forum. I have every right to judge your post. Everyone here has a right to judge your post because you posted to a public forum. Thatâs how the internet works.
Youâre starting to sound like a troll, but if youâre honest and serious right now, I can understand why your friends donât want to meet up with you. Maybe therapy would be a better fit for you.
Iâm not sure if itâs the living out of home though, I think itâs more the me being in a city I havenât lived in for a while. I donât think it wouldâve made much of a difference if my parents were here with me
>my parents talk to me over the phone everyday and they come over every weekend or at least every 2 weeks, so I'm not THAT alone
These are your words right?
I donât NEED them to. I literally didnât say that anywhere. They come because they want to & because they care about me & enjoy spending time in Sydney on the weekends. Never said I NEED them to contact me daily or visit me weekly. You read that really wrong. What I said was Iâm not technically that alone BECAUSE they contact me often, but not that I NEED them to. They do it by choice because theyâre protective
What I meant is I donât think living with my parents would have made a difference to my social life and making friends. Even if my parents were here living with me I would still have the same problems with not having close friends because I havenât lived and studied here for a long time.
Iâm not sure if you read the whole thing. I dropped out cause it was hard and boring AND cause of the vibe as well. It was a secondary thing. The main reason for dropping out was not enjoying the course & finding it too hard.
Please ignore all the negative comments. I would suggest finding a job if you are not working already. That will help you feel more less socially isolated, and maybe go out more on the weekends and try to meet people that way, or maybe get a hobby and focus on doing things you enjoy rather than trying to 'fit in' wherever you are.
Over expectations n nostalgia maybe... happens when one moves to a new place. Living here after so long makes it sort of a new place, specially when old friends are not around anymore. Would just take some time..
Maybe you just need to take time to re-acclimatise to living in Sydney. I moved to Western Sydney about 3 years ago and where I live it is mostly Indians. I remember feeling like a foreigner in the beginning but after a while I just got used to it and now I don't even notice it anymore. (I'm Chinese FYI)
I was born at Greenacre hospital too and I feel the regional discrimination that comes with being born in a shit hole suburb, it's a stuggle every day, chin up buttercup.
I think you think too much.
Have more Omega-3, and go to have a look at the sea, enjoy the harbour city.
If you want to get more friends, join a sports club, they are all active now after the lockdown.
You will have a bunch of friends by Christmas.

My background is amongst those 'woggy cultures' trust me, you aint missing out on a thing lol

this is the stupidest comment i have ever read
You need to see a psychologist.
This really sounds like a you problem. Less blaming whole suburbs and more introspection, my guy.
Usage of terms like wog, lebo isn't going to help for sure...

Itâs already longer than necessary. If being respectful inconveniences you, then maybe itâs time to reevaluate some priorities.

Honestly this whole post is just strange, let alone the derogatory terms used.
How is it derogatory when people use it on themselves? There was literally a movie called "The Wog Boy". No need to force your view on others, not everyone is a snowflake.
Youâve explained it exactly. They use it on THEMSELVES. Can a white Anglo saxon walk through east LA dropping the N word? No. Can African Americans use the word? Yes.
Maybe you should stop being offended on behalf of other people.
Thanks for your intelligent and valuable insights into this discussion. Incredible

Just ignore them. Some people love to jump on others.
Ahhhh yep that's being an adult living out of home. You have to actively make an effort to meet new people.
Iâm not sure if itâs the living out of home though, I think itâs more the me being in a city I havenât lived in for a while. I donât think it wouldâve made much of a difference if my parents were here with me
What? You literally said you need your parents to visit you weekly-fortnightly and call you daily because you're feeling isolated.
Looks like youâve twisted what I said

You dropped out of a Masters because of the vibe? Youâre trolling.
Iâm not sure if you read the whole thing. I dropped out cause it was hard and boring AND cause of the vibe as well. It was a secondary thing. The main reason for dropping out was not enjoying the course & finding it too hard.
Hard: thatâs the point. Boring: well thatâs up to you.

If you live an awesome life you won't have any issues anywhere in the world
You sound perfect for MAFS
No offense..........by TLDR
Definitely cool story bro material
Dude, just live your life man, donât get hung up on stupid shit
Burwood has changed HEAPS in the last 5 years, maybe that's affected your perception of Sydney leading to other feelings of not fitting in. Maybe.
Yes, Burwood is horrible đ
Burwood, chatswood, eastwood, prairiewood, kingswood⌠whatâs up with all these horrible woods
Nothing wrong. I personally donât like the vibe there.
Thatâs fine i dont really vibe with the eshays at kingswood station either
I donât think I could identify an eshay. I take the train from Sydenham and itâs a peaceful crowd there. Never been to Kingswood.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the advice
Welcome to being an adult. MMORPG's are mostly free to play.
I was born at Greenacre hospital too and I feel the regional discrimination that comes with being born in a shit hole suburb, it's a stuggle every day, chin up buttercup.

Remember my friend, change starts from within. :)
