"I wasn't talking about [marginalised group]!"

Yes. We noticed. You were talking to everyone and just assumed 'everyone' didn't include us.

Just cause I'm seeing this bullshit being used to say marginalised people are pissing on the poor, and no, babes, sometimes you are in the wrong and you need to accept that you said it in public.

The way the term “western media” sets me off.

Or “people from western countries”, “western viewpoints”.

Be honest you just mean the Anglosphere because you don’t really know anything about countries that don’t speak English nor consume their media.

A lil pep talk about stereotypes.

Introvert people aren’t always shy and have social anxiety. They simply just re-charge when they do their own stuff. But they can still be outgoing and open when they are with others. 

Extroverted people can have social anxiety and be shy. They simply just get their energy by spending their time with other people. 

Introversion does not mean they hate people. But more often they not, they get their energy from activities that they do alone. I quite love spending time with my friends and be out an about on adventure, I just need to charge my batteries so I can enjoy myself properly. They are also not mean, but small talks takes energy. Energy that can be used on real talks. 

Extroverted people are not annoying. In my experience, they are more talkative than others; but it does not mean annoying. Or that they only talk about shallow things. 

Also, I see this on tv and things like that, but I often see that the more quiet characters are more often than not the ‘smart’ one and the more extroverted character are usually the ‘dumb’ one. Sorry sis, but that shit is trash! Extroverted people can be smart as hell. Introverted people can be smart as hell. 

There is something called ambivert. Someone that falls right in the middle. You have best of both worlds. 

Everyone can have social anxiety. And even though I am not an extrovert myself, I think it must be awful having social anxiety (especially) if you are an extrovert. I have read somewhere, that extroverted people that have been in a situation were they couldn’t be with other people like they wanted and needed, they could fall in depression. So, what I ma saying, support each other. 

Everyone can be shy too, same jilts as the one above. 

Sorry, but i am just sick of seeing post and comments about how introverted people ‘hate’ other extroverts. And how nobody that is extroverted can’t be shy or be anxious. And how this and that and how people just misjudge each other because of stupid stereotypes.

the Russian way to formulate problems is to mention the first nontrivial case (in a way that no one would be able to simplify it). The French way is to formulate it in the most general form making impossible any further generalisation.

Plot Twist: Maybe people hate you not because of your skin colour, gender, sexuality or your country but just becasue you're a dick.

Tanning vs whitening. What’s the difference? Stop being hypocrites.

You know what really irks me so bad. Western culture criticizing Asians for wanting to be white and using makeup that we all know is the wrong shade. I know they deliberately get whitening spray and use a shade of foundation 10x lighter but these are the beauty standards in Asia. Just like how in Western society, people want a tan. I’m sorry but you white people don’t get to critisise the poor Asian who upload their videos online to be shamed for wanting to white. What about you guys, you want to get tan. There’s so many fake tan products in the supermarkets. Beauty gurus even buy shades of foundation that are slightly darker, let’s not pretend they are the perfect shade match coz we know it’s not.

Honestly so tired of all this hate comments on the Asian videos. I’m talking about the whitening vs tanning thing. Now the face tape thing and viral videos, that’s a diffferent topic.
