Do they also secretly hate me? How would I know? I thought people who spent time with you did it because they liked you :/
Since that "friend" of mine who always invited me for tea turned out to be a gigantic xenophobe, I can't help wondering about other friends

-
Don't despair & always trust your instincts. That xenophobe is apparently very good at deception.

Don't you HATE that?! It always makes me question my judgement.
-
it's the first time it happens so yeah... Mini confidence crisis
-
It's happened to me twice. It made me wonder how blind I was about other people in my life...
-
uurgh. Well. Good to clean up your life I guess
-
Yeah. One seemed to understand when I said I couldn't remain friends with someone who held views so deeply offensive to me.

he went on a rant against foreigners, and women, and I asked him "even me? O_o" and he proceeded to say the most awful stuff :/
-
Was he drinking?
-
no drinking. The conversation just drifted with me being more and more defensive and ill at ease.
-
On the plus side, this could encourage you to reassess what other Japanese friends really think about you.

How did you discover the friend's xenophobia?Anything to do with Trump?
-
actually, yes. For some reason the conversation started by him talking about Trump.... But he's Japanese
-
Actually I suspect many Japanese would agree with much of Trump's thinking if they were speaking in "honne" mode.

As
@sanverde said, don't despair. And don't be paranoid. The majority of Japanese are NOT racist and sexist.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo -
