I went to this store earlier today. I bought some food, paid for it and then the storekeeper said “Thank you!” I was like WTF. My brain shut down. I stuttered “T-thanks.” I forgot how to socialize.

I realize that they were immigrants, and their culture is very respectful, they show gratitude often. I’m not used to that so I was taken aback. Usually storekeepers say “Have a good day” but they don’t say thank you.

Anyway then I heard them talk in their language and they started laughing, they probably said “what a fucking weirdo lol”.

Thanks for reading. 👋

im not any better to be fair
You know what’s funny. Last year, I had a job at a furniture store. My colleagues and managers were all female. My manager said (unironically, she was 100% serious) “You seem like a very social guy.” She’s not entirely wrong. I used to be very social. It’s just that rotting for ten years nuked my social skills, but I guess I can undo the damage somehow, even if it’s just temporary, if I’m socializing more than usual.
 
Individualism in this country so deep that whenever someone says thank you with actual warmth our whole dutch conditioned nervous system goes into panic mode. crazy
Feeling blessed that you’ve been posting here. Hope you had a blessed Ramadan and Eid. 💜

BTW, in case you’re wondering, they were Japanese. You know how grateful they are in general.

Really? I thought it was just me from a lack of socializing. Usually when I socialize for a bit, I can respond well. However, when it’s unexpected, my brain goes r****d mode.

It's probably a mix of both. brain farts are normal

appreciated man, hope yours was good too

and japanese, yeah that tracks completely. gratitude is basically load bearing in that culture, it's not even politeness it's just how they're wired. dutch nervous system never stood a chance.
 
bro do you not post on org anymore or something

yeah well bp/inceldom will do that to ya 🤣 🤣 🤣 personally i like being social sometimes but i dont like being lonely either.. i cant approach people because im retarded
if this happened i wouldve thought they are flirting
"what do u mean u have assumptions about me? are you in love with me?"

Thanks, I enjoyed last month as well!

And yeah, I was surprised. I thought it was just Chinese people running the store, but I could hear them talking in Japanese. It’s rare to see Japanese people here. I’ve been to Korean places before but somehow the Japanese seem the least common here.

I agree, they’re just wired that way. The western world wouldn’t understand. It’s too individualistic. “Hoe bedoel je, ik jou bedanken? Jij moet mij bedanken dat ik dit verkoop!” - Geertjan Kastenbloem de Vijfde

I do, but I had a headache today so I didn’t feel like posting on two forums. I’ll log in tomorrow.

Thankfully, I have a very negative self-image, so I would never assume anyone in their right mind would ever be flirting with me considering how ugly I am. But yeah, I guess in my case it comes from not socializing with people for years as a result of becoming a NEET & actively not hanging out with friends even when asked to hang out.

japanese diaspora is basically nonexistent compared to other asian groups, emigration just never became part of the culture. they didn't export their people. koreans are more findable but still rare. and honestly why would either leave, economy works, culture is intact, nothing to escape from. emigration is usually a symptom of something being wrong. japan and korea don't have that problem.

only real problems are the birthrate collapse and a work culture so extreme it's literally killing people.

precies, blij zijn dat ze een zakje aanbieden zonder te zuchten is al de lat. glimlach zie je nooit. snap het wel ergens, kassawerk is een hel, maar als je niet vriendelijk kan zijn, wees dan tenminste niet aktief onaardig. tegenwoordig ga ik altijd zelfscan, doe ik het gewoon zelf, skip de hele interactie.

Exactly, their countries are so advanced that they don’t need to emigrate. I feel like they’re the only two countries where they’re actively downgrading by moving to the west, since they’re so far ahead, ESPECIALLY Japan. While Brazil does have a large population with Japanese ancestry, they moved there at a time when Japan wasn’t as advanced as they were today, like a century ago.

En helemaal gelijk heb je. Je ziet van die zuurkoppen bij kassa’s altijd. Ik ga ook naar de zelfscan altijd, vind ik veel fijner. Soms voel ik me extra lelijk wanneer ze me niet controleren terwijl er een kassa controle is. Bij anderen stappen ze wel op diegene af. Ik heb nu over de meiden die daar werken bij de zelfscan. Die doen het van een afstand, willen niet in de buurt komen van een truecel. 😭

Thanks! I’ve been self-studying but it’s been like a year since I did anything. I became busy after re-enrolling in university. Honestly, I should pick it back up. I can honestly become fluent if I keep studying.

You should sleep as well bhaijaan. Btw there’s some rumors going around that you’re… are the rumors true? Is that why you got banned?

if i were to be honest its clear jonas dislikes me
hes banned me twice and vouched for my ban once
hes keeping me banned for his disliking of me, which i dont blame him for
 
Oh boy. If numb stepped in then there’s nothing I can do atp.
on the original ban appeal on my first account because he thought i was daim
its clear that im not daim now no? i dont think numb has any reason to hate me now

So were you banned by numb or by jonas? If it’s not numb (as in, he didn’t say that you should stay banned or whatever), he’s not allowed to keep you banned for disliking you. That would be mod abuse quite frankly speaking.

it was jonas who banned me this time, the reason why im saying hes keeping me banned is because if it was a different mod im 100% sure they wouldve given me steps to do to get unbanned eventually, while the dude just said "youre a problematic user and im gonna keep you banned". that frankly translates to go fuck yourself n***a i dont like you as a user so youre staying banned for a few months

jonas is like terrorizing the ban appeals rn which is why all banned users are waiting for techno to come back, no offense to jonas intended ofc

I’ll look into it. I generally don’t interfere once numby has said something about it. His say is final. But with others, I can interfere if they’re global moderators or submoderators. Though with him, he often ends up arguing with me. I also helped get fridx unbanned since he was unfairly banned as well by him.

thanks, its clear that jonas always wants his decisions to be final and thats his problem
again thank you so much for anything that you can do in advance

Yep, you said it right. That’s exactly his problem. At first I didn’t feel like arguing, but he’s been out of line which made me stop giving a fuck. He became totally disrespectful towards me, even though he was clearly in the wrong. Anyway, no need to thank me bhaijaan. Again, if I can do something about it (as in, numby hasn’t chipped in to pass his judgment) then I will. You’re definitely not Got.Daim. What made him believe that you were? Did you share IPs?

technoboss believed it on my first account because we had similar pfps and similar posts. that was it. then i got hardbanned.
i made this alt because i love the org community and i love being active in it, i really had no choice then to alt. i got caught because an old friend of my who sent me csam (which caused me to block him and then remove him from our friend gc) tracked me down to org and pieced it all together as we knew eachother offsite and he knew personal information about me.

What is the @ of the alt? Is it a shared account with got.daim or something? I’ll have to look into your case though, see what I can do (if there’s anything I can do!). Hope I can help.

my original account was iGoontoTheHolocaust, which was hardbanned for no reason.
i made this account, Verdam, in hopes of returning to the community.

I was also led to believe that that was got.daim. But I know him personally. For proof, I could text him and ask him or if he knows him (you) at least haha.
