@gina_h_lloyd: To all the young Asian women out there! I hear you, see you and support you. @jungwon’s gf (real) ❤️ #fyp #asiangirl #growingupasian #asianparents
As a plus size asian thank you for saying this. I am sorry you have gone through this along with Jungwon. While I am adopted and have not had the asian family background I still havr felt judgment through my adoptive extended family. I feel like im supposed to be this Itty bitty thing. Sometimes being bigger is due to medical reasons... I have PCOS. It's very hard to be smaller/skinnier due to this.

This !!! My mom is Korean. I grew up with being told I was fat. We went to Korea in April this yr. I haven’t seen her in yrs. All she did was criticize me. All o heard the whole time was how I need to have better skin care I’m ugly. Asian moms are no joke 🥺

I blame a lot of it as “generational and cultural”…though you were raised and exposed to the western culture (school, church, friends, etc) Asian parents were not and with that they only know one thing and one thing only is what their parents taught them and what they learned while exposed in that Asian culture/country…they will never adapt to western mentality or ways…(not all of them but majority) you will not see eye to eye…its hard…I know…one way of looking at it is not to take it personal and make peace with your inner self…build your castle (husband/kids/family etc) teach what you believe…don’t worry or focus too much on your Mom, she will be ok😉🫰🏻🫶 From a western daughter of a🇰🇷👵🏻

NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT 😡. I'm a mixed Asian guy (and yes I know it's not the same as being an Asian girl), and I asked my Japanese Mom why she would call me names and say such hurtful things to me about losing weight or whatever instead of encouraging me. She told me that her words are supposed to light a fire under me and MOTIVATE me to do better. When I told her it just hurts me and discourages me, she says that's a problem I need to fix in myself and I need to toughen up LIKE A MAN 😳 🤦♂️. That's when I knew there was no point in discussing it because in her eyes the problem is with ME, not with anything she says. 🤷♂️

I remember getting SO FRUSTRATED with the weight comments from my mother that one day I snapped and told her she wasn't skinny either so go look in the mirror. That made things worse of course. sighhhhhhhh

My mom called me fat every single day of my childhood and even now she criticizes me from head to toe. Nothing is ever good enough. My weight is always her No.1 issue with me. She can’t see past my weight. This past Mother’s Day she commented on my weight again and I asked her why she thinks I only see her on Mother’s Day and her birthday… and even on these two days out of the year she still feels the need to comment on my weight.

I’m 35 years old…my mother called me fat recently 🥲 I was 4 mo postpartum. I got mad and said “yea I’m fat, but you still asked for my dress and you fit in it so what’s that say?”

Here all the way over in New Zealand, my colleague, a young asian man goes through the similar with his mum about the whole career thing. Hes very young but still works and studies at the same time, I told him I’m proud of him because he really does try his absolute best for a young man. To everyone in the comments, I’m proud of you all too. Xx

It is up to US to stop this generational Asian cultural trauma. WE can make difference for our daughters to never feel this way. Our worth is not based on what they think of us but how WE value our lives. Let's not pass it on.

My mom told me that I will never be good enough because I'm only half korean. I had to walk away and I'm living a happy life.

My mom was the same way. She was never happy with how I looked, she called me I was fat and needed to lose weight for years since I was 12. Even her dying breath she said she wanted to see me skinny like the rest of skinny Asian women. To her I was never good enough. I’ve lived years and years hating myself and how I looked. 20 something years later I finally realized that the problem was never me, but it was my mom. I forgave myself and now I teach my daughters they are beautiful and they are good enough, and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. I refuse to raise my girls like how my mother raised me and my sister.

Ms. Gina, thank you so much for your kind words i literally felt myself tearing up while watching this 😭🫶🏼 i’m still young and trying to figure out how to get the negative voices out of my head including those coming from my own family and it’s so healing getting to see a strong Asian woman who was once in a position like mine. it really gives me so much hope that things will get better

Thank you for this! When my Chinese mom criticizes me and compares me to other children I throw it back to her. “Jenny’s mother has a good paying job, why can’t you be like her?” “Why is your house so ugly? This is why you don’t have any friends.” She shuts up so fast.

I’m half Filipino and raised on my Asian side and I grew up with my mom, aunts, cousins, did this to me. I’m 53 now and I’m still traumatized by it all and trust no one.

I’m not Asian, I quit talking to my mom over a decade ago. She was a toxic mother. I am much happier.🥰 Best thing I did for my mental health. You are GOOD enough! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Really needed that hand hold. I cried listening to this. I don't want to listen to any names but I'm constantly told nearly every other day that I'm fat, despicable and nobody will ever love me and that my partner will leave me because I'm not good and beautiful like my cousins on my dad side. No hate to my cousins, they are super sweet people but I will admit it hurts when you hear this a lot growing up and now I have a weird ptsd where I feel like I need to live up to them even though my cousins have never said any of this. It's just the reminder from not one person but a few people telling me over and over and I feel brainwashed. Trying to undo the damage and sorry for the long comment. But thank you for holding our hands virtually and sending this message to anyone who needs to hear it🙏
