It can be a challenge when dealing with individuals that encourage "guilt" if you fail to do things the way they want.

I was thinking about how you described your parent's culture and how it's different and how they live in a place were certain things are expected and if you don't follow with what is considered that custom something is wrong with you.

Well, I am 60 years old now and have seen so much of that in humanity in my lifetime now. Honestly, I have seen so much guilt tripping when you don't just give in to whatever is deemed politically correct in ANY group of human beings. Oh, you are a bad person if you don't do it this way, dress that way, have this, have that, do this, do that, or say it this way instead of that way, it's human insanity if you ask me.

The best thing to do is one's best to try not to get sucked into it because it can take the quality of your life way down if you do. I think about Ben Franklin and how he made adjustments according to the way different individuals did things, he did his best to grow as an individual in spite of interacting with different cultures and their own ways of interacting. I think about how he wore that stupid coon hat because that is what people "thought" he would wear. He just obliged them. You have to learn to stand above your parents, wear the damn coon hat and then stick it in a box and chuckle to yourself instead of thinking you have to actually "be" what they think.
