My Daily Living: How my Friends treat Me

 Hey everyone, it's me Clearwater. Nope, I have NOT abandoned my blog, I just had nothing really to write about....up till now. This is just my rant about how my friends treat me, maybe you can relate or maybe you might know someone like this or maybe you can even give some advice to me or people who are feeling like this.

                      I live in an all-white community. Probably a .3% of Asians in this community. So, that means all my best friends are white. Yesterday was my best friends birthday celebration, and we went out to eat at Applebeas (btw our bill came out to $104!) and had a sleepover at her house. Now, Im a crazy, crazy person when you get to know me. But for some reason, I've been awkward ever since I met this one friend of mine(the one that's really flirty). Im not sure why, but I've seem to taken after my sister, because there was this one phrase my sister told me that stuck to me forever "What's the use of talking when it's not important?". So, ever since my sister told me that and I met that friend, I've been super super awkward. ANyways. back to the story, at the sleepover, I was trying to adjust back to my old, crazy self. I did some pretty crazy, fun stuff, and I felt good doing that, because it made me feel like I was becoming less awkward. Until, my friend made this one phrase, "You do it so awkwardly.". People don't know, but that hurts me badly. I hate being called awkward, I don't want to be awkward. I try to be myself, but every ing thing in the world has to somehow be related to awkwardness. I'm that friend that's always being teased, and I hate it. I don't want to be teased. Even though they're joking around, Im really sensitive, so I take that stuff seriously. So that kinda was a minus point to my night. *sighs*

                    Next, at the sleepover, I was ready to pass out and just sleep. It's a must for me, that before I sleep, I listen to KPOP. My friends know I love KPOP and know I obsess over it. I guess, my friends took that oppurtunity to tease me. They teased me saying that "Why do you listen to all that Asian stuff, you're so Asian", "You don't even know what they're saying". They even made fun of G-Dragon's That XX, my favorite song. I was really upset, but of course, I made no emotion towards it. I let them laugh, I like making people laugh. Anyways, we fell asleep. That morning, when I woke up, I listened to KPOP again, trying to give myself a morning boost. My morning was sailing fine, till Melle (let's call her that. She's the one that's super flirty and apparently is in a commited relationship) said the one thing that threw me off, "KPOP , you know it . It's not even that good".  Now, some people might be saying "it's just a genre and they're just people" but you don't understand how much KPOP means to me. It helps me show my emotions, without even saying a word. It's basically my audio diary. It helped me see what path I wanna take in life, and who I want to be. So, that one phrase, killed me. Of course, I said a simple reply, "it's because you guys are cultural like that" and put in my earphones, and held back my tears. And what the most, is that Melle is so in to music and is a singer, but she can't even respect the music that I like? And I can't say anything, you wanna know why? It's because she'll claim Im making a big deal and that she was joking around. But I don't care if she's joking around, it hurts. Another reason why I can't say anything, she's suicidal. As in, been in all that drama and stuff and she cut herself. But it's not fair, I never trashes her love, why does she have to trash mine? And why didn't my best friends didn't say anything? Whenever they're in a uncomfortable situation, im there to pull them out and back them up. Why didn't they do it for me?

                    What do you guys think? Am I really taking this too seriously? I just find it unfair, how my friends tease me and call me awkward and make fun of the stuff I like, without me judging them and their wierd obsession. Is it because im an easy target? Is it because im the only non-white person, so they can do that? I don't know. I just don't like it, I want them to stop. Im fine with joking around, but sometimes, they take it to extremes, and I don't know what to do. Anyone else get this?

Ha, how human's behavior sometimes really amuses me to the freaking max. Gull, listen here. She doesn't say k-pop heartily. She just doesn't like other person has life and something to obsess with. Unfortunately, the person is you. Remember this : she doesn't even care about k-pop song! She doesn't give a ____s about how good k-pop songs are, as long as she has something to play with, to tease with. And, instead of giving no emotion, why you not reply with witty comeback, like, "ever heard something called hobby? I'm sure you don't have one."
Human, tsk tsk. They are really funny.

I FEEL YOU, BRO. THE KPOP THING AND BEING CALLED AWKWARD.
I really can't stand it. Even if I'm just reading a book someone just HAS to say, "God, being with you is so awkward."
I don't really mind joking as well(I mean what's life without it?) but they really don't know their limits, calling me depressed and stuff. And on top of that they tell me I have a bad taste in music, you know, listening to korean music. It really bugs me when they say things like "They're so gay!" or "You don't even understand what they're saying. How can you listen to that?"
It somewhat saddens me because they don't understand what music does for me. It's the only 100% guaranteed stress reliever for me. It's something that lets me forget about all my problems for a short four minutes. But they don't seem to notice that. They don't see how excited I get when someone asks me about music.
Oh well. I can't do anything about it, so I don't care, and you shouldn't either. By the end of the day, it's only you that can control how you feel. c;
SORRY FOR BLABBING. I TEND TO BLABBER WHEN I FOUND SOMETHING I CAN RELATE TO. DD:

many people told me kpop before. this is what i always reply to them :
"your favourite singers train for years before they debut, kpop idols as well. just because your favourite singer sings in a language we understand, does not mean we have to like them. i like kpop, i may not understand, but doesn't that shows that i have the courage to love kpop? i dare to love the korean idols even if we are seperated by oceans, languages, and cultures. you may laugh at me for liking a type of music which i don't understand, but what about you? insulting a type of music, are there no koreans in this world? are there no korea in the earth? are they no non-koreans who can speak korean? now tell me, what gives me the right to not love kpop and what gives you the right to insult them? if kpop , your favourite singer too.'

I'm Asian myself and my dad seems to hate the fact that I listen to K-pop and not C-pop, since listening to C-pop can help improve my Chinese language.

Is it wrong that I listen to the music I like? No.

It isn't wrong that you listen to the music that you like too.

I can completely relate to this, except it's my family who makes those types of comments. I'm Mexican American and my family is strong about doing things related to our culture, and they don't understand why I like kpop music so much.

Try not to let negative comments about Kpop music get to you. People who bash it without having a valid reason to say why it , are people who don't appreciate or know good music. What a shame because they do not know what they are missing.

In my opinion, if a person really loves and cares for you, no matter what your relationship is with this person, they will accept you for being YOU.

I think over the past year, my family has adjusted to my new choice of music, but I do get negativity from my brother every now and then. Keep you head held high and be who you are. Don't change a certain thing about yourself just to please others. You should never do that.
