Due to my physical features, I have been called anything available in God’s green earth.
back home, i look different than most folks.
Slanty eyes (for my extremely slanted eyes), Mister lips (facial feature), Tuktuk face (again, facial feature), Duckling (for my ugly features and the way I walk), four-eyed Potter (me wearing glasses and my looks) and various ugly characters with bad hair (coz my hair style).
Most coming from unknown strangers that happen to meet on the street.
Some even comes from my own relatives, friends, teachers.
some new nicknames/name calls occur in Taiwan as well.
Some even correlate my intelligence with my looks.
(often job interviews could go south because of this)
The last thing, that I could recall, occured when some friends watching a clip from Jay Chou called 陽光宅男, a few years ago.
A female friend, looking at the screen, when the namesake character showed on-screen and then look at me and start laughing like crazy.
Then, everyone in the room start laughing “at me” (not “with me” :D)
Growing up, I am getting used from all these shennanigans.
the easiest just to ignore them. arguing/do anything won’t help.
If you want further consultation, PM your phone/whatsapp/line whatever, I help you deal with these morons.
