    Why is this so common in Chinese families? I’ve been berated so many times for the same thing! and I always thought, “I can barely remember your name, what’s the point of toasting? Shouldn’t we have some more substantial conversations?”

    “Unsurprisingly, my parents, like every traditional Chinese parent, expected me from a young age to deliver toasts during festivals and to compliment every unfamiliar relative. If I failed, they would openly criticize me, saying, “This child only excels in academics but lacks social grace. She will face hardships in society.” Predictably, I was the epitome of the “excellent Chinese child.”

    Wow! Thank you so much for writing this. My heart breaks for you, and the other Chinese students in similar stories. But your story also conveys such grace and courage.
    I started writing last night, and words just flew out. My last two paragraphs are for my daughters and for you. https://www.curajoy.org/stand-up-against-smothering-anxiety/.

    Who you are matters. It should matter to people who love you. You deserve the breathing room to figure things out and make mistakes. 💖🤗💝
