I hate my dad sometimes. He has this knack at making me feel useless and worthless, just because I don't particularly like anything American and I prefer Asian - Particularly Korean -  things over most American things. It because I feel like I'm not being supported for liking something that isn't deemed as normal. Is it really that bad to be a non-Asian who really likes the Asian cultures and life-styles? Sometimes I think so because of my dad. 

I almost tore down all my anime/manga/kpop posters/pictures this evening. Ready to just give up on doing what I like and trying to be 'normal' for my dad, just so that I could stop feeling so worthless to him. He seems to hate everything I do. He doesn't like that I watch anime/k-dramas, or listen to k-pop, that I go to anime conventions, that I write, that i draw, or that I roleplay and talk with people who are into the same things as I am.  It really that I seem like the only person in my state that likes to do these things, none of my friends like to do any of them, so I have to be on my computer to find anyone who likes them as well. 

I hate feeling like this and I just want to have my family's support, but it doesn't seem like I will anytime soon. I can't wait to move out so that I don't feel like such a burden to my parents anymore. 

Is it normal to feel like this? Or am I just crazy and stupid?

And this all just because I told him what I wanted for Christmas..........

doesn't it?
