I used to have an online friend from the US and after some time, we both liked each other and he told me that he wanted me to move to his place (I live in SEA). After a few months of chatting, I noticed something weird about him. I don’t really like to talk about politics but he keep praising Trump and Maga and saying he hate how people misunderstand and insults the president.
He also said that he “feels sorry for me and can’t imagine how it’s like for a gay and femboy living in a country other than the US and Europe. Even in the US, people view twinks and femboys as a joke and they often made fun of so it must be a lot worse in your country”. I then told him that as a twink and femboy, I don’t feel like that all. All of my IRL straight friends respect me and never made fun of me. He then said my friends were just being polite to me …
He also insulted my culture and my country. I apologized and asked him to be more considerate and polite because I feel offended and then he told me that facts does not care about your feelings and he’s an American so its his culture to be more upfront and not being fake like asians.
I was so confused what is going on and felt like it was my fault and consulted my friends. They told me to ghosted him and I did.
I used to work in the hospitality industry and the Americans I met were so polite and super friendly. I’d say American tourists are the most friendliest compared to Europeans and other Asian tourists.
That’s why I’m confused why my online “friend” behave like that. I can’t help but wondering if this a normal behaviour in the US? Were the thing he said about American cultures true?
