Is it possible for a borderline schizoid autist (aka social retard) to teach English in DEA.
>>2748778SEA*
>>2748778>autist (aka social retard)No. The #1 thing that Asians like about white people is their charisma. White people are stereotyped as lively outgoing people who can socialize very easily. You literally lack the minimum qualities that are expected of you.If you're not white, you already had it hard, and your mental issues will make it worse.
>>2748792So what would happen if I apply? I can mask my autism decently, but not for extended periods, like months on end. Eventually I get exhausted and my coworkers find out I'm autistic. In this scenario I would have more of an incentive to continue masking perhaps, but I don't want to interact much with anyone outside of work.
>>2748792Don't listen to this guy. ESL in SEA is full of absolute weirdos and outlasts. I've worked with self-harmers, pedos, freak outs, flat-earthers. You can't find a more eclectic demographic. Just be diligent in your work and you'll be fine>t. Teaching 20+ years abroad
>>2748815Thanks. I also think the baseline for social skills has been nosediving, especially for people my age, since COVID. Do you think the work would be hard for someone like me or is the level of charisma required pretty basic? I would probably be that boring teacher no one likes, but I would try to actually do my job.
>>2748778What do you want to do, diddle little kids, you fucking sicko? This is basically what all these dweebs from the west do when they go to teach English, or what most intend to do.
>>2748815Those all sound like low-inhib types.>>2748820Not true in Asia. Higher population density and life lived in the open air means that people come face-to-face with far more people in the course of their everyday routine than most people in the West do. If you are unable or unwilling to smile a lot, you're gonna have a real tough time making a favorable impression on anyone in Asia.
>>2749021Who gives a shit. Asian people will lie to you about something, because they don't want to seem unintelligent. People that don't respect you, and are more than willing to lie to you, aren't people you should try to impress.
>>2748778yes, doesnt hurt to try anyway. you're not doing anything else with your life
>>2748778Schizoid, misanthrope, INTJ sexpest TEFL certificate recipient here.OP, you really gotta want it because when I got to the end of the class and was thrown into some random village school to do two, 1 hour practice classes, I barely made it out of there. I was cringing my ass off, I felt guilty that I was trying to keep my pecker player pursuits prolonged on the backs of the moral gravity of being a teacher.I ended up taking the savings I was meant to use to find housing and situate myself, and rapidly siphoned them off to slender and seductive pecker players.When my funds were low, I unceremoniously tucked my pecker between my legs, and headed to the BKK airport to go back home.>>2748792This makes me really fucking angry because it’s correct. You think that when you go to Asia and mimick their behavior and mannerisms you’re somehow currying favor in your eyes, but to your horror, they’ve mentally stereotyped you as being this loud shouting outgoing faggot, and so when you don’t play that role of the bellowing extroverted partyfaggot, they actually get bewildered and wonder if there’s something wrong with you. It’s the worst feeling in the world. You thought you were clever to try and “when in rome” but that’s absolutely not what they want. They want the dumb loud ape who splashes cash and can’t see past their smiling mask of deception.
>>2749022It's not about impressing them, it's about taking charge as the center of attention, a role you must embrace at all times as the lone white man around teaching English in some podunk village. Of course the betas are going to try to curry favor with the alpha, it's deeply ingrained in their nature. If you are unable to take charge, then you are not the alpha after all, and that's when you still start experiencing impudence, contempt and other disrespectful behaviors.My personal experience is different from that of an English teacher because I do not seek to play any role in the human society in the places I travel, besides minor financial contributions for basic necessities. Yeah yeah, main character and all that. I don't need or want a supporting cast.
>>2749077Don't listen to this guy, it's tardguard. He's also brown and very low IQ. Being brown in Asia is a huge handicap and being retarded too just compounds it.
>>2749170No, it doesn't matter. The culture of saving face happens no matter what, and it's lying, disrespectful at it's core. Fuck Asian people, until they learn how to break away from this dishonorable behavior.
