The "Bad Habits" thread.

Another bad habit (well, technically) of mine is that I get very defensive when people say anything about South Korea. It's not entirely my fault, though - I was just brought up that way, along with presumably everyone else who's Korean. =/

I know a lot of people who are like that, but I personally (by the sounds of it) tend not to be as defensive as you are... If someone says something derogatory about South Korea then I retaliate sometimes but often I just... let it pass. I think it's because I've had so much crap thrown at me all my life that eventually you just sort of become immune to it.

Same with me and Japan (but not China, for relatively obvious reasons). Then they accuse me of being a weeaboo, even though I'm already Japanese to begin with... :/

I stick my fingers in my mouth on my canines trying to wiggle them because they won't come out. Then my teacher was like "Joaquin is your mouth okay?" And I was like "Ya.."

Well its not something I do often though so its really just something I did last year, I have almost ditched it completely, now my only real habbit (I forgot to mention it before) is that I stay away from people in school as much as possible

A bit of a odd habit.

Again, I don't see why you try to avoid people as much as possible. Yeah, even if you might hate them or they might hate you, you're going to have to encounter them sometime, so why not encounter them all the time?

Besides, if they see you more and more often, they'll start caring less that you're in their field of vision.

Well, if you just cower in fear, they'll just think even littler of you. Just pass by them everyday without saying anything to them, and they won't think low of you as much. :)

That is actually what I do, I try to interact with some people in 2 of my classes, both my histories, I say hi to others, I make an effort but they just don't care

Oh, I didn't mean that you had to put that much effort. Just being around them means that you don't let their negative opinion of you get to you. :)

Well I mean that I say hi to people I was once friends with and they turn the other cheek, even my best friend since I was about from age 8-14 ignores me, so as you can see I don't have many friends just 3 I see occasionally one in my health class every other day one at video game club and one at random times in school

But what I'm saying is that sometimes, it's better to passively deliver a message than to actively deliver a message. By passing by them everyday in the halls, you're passively saying to them that you don't care whether or not people have a negative opinion of you, whereas if you say "hi" and they ignore you, your effort is all for naught.

Exactly, just wish that people weren't like the way they are today

Well, don't try to force change down people's throats. It'll just make people dislike you even more.

I'm not trying to change anyone, just saying wish that everyone just wasn't so judgemental when they look at you and then just go hmm I don't like this person just by looks and not getting to know anyone

I know you're not trying to actively change anybody. I'm just saying that you're just going to have to live with it, I guess. :/
