   As a person from a nationality and society that is deeply anxious, I get deeply anxious around people who are decidedly not

   No I don’t want to take it easy

     @APBBlue being unanxious is seen as deeply immoral in many East Asian societies :)

     Like smiling too much in some culture

     @skinnylatte Must be weird to live like that.

     @APBBlue but also immigrant culture and deeply held beliefs that staying put means suffering because no one will ever give you things

     @APBBlue @cshlan thanks! It’s a weird one. I would like to have more balance, but it’s hard

     @cshlan @skinnylatte I guess I can be accused of using my own experience with anxiety to connect with someone else who lives with it, but I was most definitely not criticizing or saying anything at all about someone else's culture.

     @cshlan @skinnylatte No, I meant it would feel odd to me not be anxious all the time. I've never experienced that. I'm jealous!

     @APBBlue @skinnylatte
     I would expect it's very much not weird to live the way you're used to living.
