I Dislike the Korean-American Community in the United States

It's a somewhat provocative title, but it's also a reflection of my honest feelings.

Due to a congenital disability, I am a person who is very easily remembered by others offline. Moreover, with the privacy of the family I live with, the tendency to end interactions with Koreans within the church community I belong to is strong for me and my family.

In fact, the reason I chose my current church is the biggest reason. Whether big or small, it's obvious that I'll immediately become the object of attention if I go to an unfamiliar place, and the characteristics of a nosy Korean church make me feel disgusted and stressed just imagining being asked where I live, what I do, and so on.

Not only the church, but I also do not interfere with groups of Koreans like Korean associations or social clubs, and I don't want to get involved, so I pretend not to know at all. In fact, after coming to the other side of the world, I wonder why I came to America just to form a network with fellow Koreans and say we are the same people.

And yet, how many people are there who speak English poorly and are awkward, even among those who are trying to broaden their network in that way? If your skills are that bad, you should either not act up, or not show your mistakes all over SNS. It's really unsightly that someone who has even gotten a doctorate doesn't know they should be ashamed.

(But considering that person's major, he can't help but be ignorant)

Rather than focusing on broadening my network limited to Koreans and spending time watching Korean radio and Korean broadcasts, reading and writing even one more letter in English will be of great help to my mental health. So, I don't know how grateful I am that I live in a place that's a bit far from Koreatown.

So, I'm also careful about my activities on threads. I've recently become friends with a few people from the Atlanta area, and I'm afraid that this will lead to an offline meeting. Of course, it would be great if it developed in a good way, but it's obvious that most people will be disappointed when they see me.

That's right, the reason why I haven't been writing on durumis lately was because of my private life. There's no need to record the daily routine, and I've posted a few pictures of my daily life with photos on Naver.

The main purpose here is to share my deep thoughts and useful tips related to computers and smartphones. YouTube is the trend these days rather than blogs, but this also has private life as the biggest obstacle. Not only do I not have the equipment, but writing is what suits me best.

So, even if I can't do 1 post a day, I will continue to cultivate the habit of recording consistently on durumis and Naver for the sake of Korean. And I am doing so now, but I will have to put more distance between myself and Koreans other than the church people, and create more opportunities to communicate in English and Japanese.
