Good morning everyone, greeting from China by Run Biying

Haven’t done early poop yet, though still searching for the right feeling inside my belly.

Anyway, one phrase i learnt today from an old news “low personality” of Asian people. I was a bit of confused with its meaning the moment I heard it, but it drove me back to the memory of studying experience in UK.

Story to share

A. Party

One night I was invited by regular classmate-friends to join their party, in which students of other majors were also getting together there. There was a minor accidental noise I made by kicking off a chair unintentionally (at my back outside my sight) when I was too excited facing directly and talking with my classmates. That noise even shocked myself so I turned head wondering if I made other people annoyed with regret in mind. Then the facial expressions of two or three girls sitting there deeply imprinted in my head instantly at that moment- Contempt.

Though weird behaviors at parties are quite normal, isn’t it?

B. Study

During group study for either sessions or projects along with Non-Asian students, Asian students normally turned to be quiet and collaborative, rarely saying NO basing on my own experience. There was a Vietnamese boy I have difficulty to memorize his name right now, but his personality for sure very vibrant, least in front of me. Pretty sure some of YOU could trace back one picture of me in a group with other four boys, that one was taken because of the Vietnamese boy, he felt happy for our group and believed it’s a moment we should take a picture together to remember.

As Asian students, along with those whom I was a part of study groups, we normally tried to complete our sessions on time as discussed so that wouldn’t drag whole projects behind late.

Of course, there were some Asian Students really drove me nuts 🤦‍♀️.

Finally, regarding to the “low personality”, my assuming comprehension is Asian people somehow too “shy” to interact with non-Asian counterparts, while non-Asian people somehow too “open” to understand the “quirky shyness” of Asian counterparts.
