      I came from smjk c and nowadays none of my ex classmates type in Chinese anymore lol. Sure we still speak mandarin when f2f with each other out of habit, but our work environments & in many cases our spouses are mostly English, so English kinda naturally replaced Chinese for many of us. We also speak English with fellow Chinese-educated colleagues at the work place.

      It’s totally okay to feel that way — I’m also Chinese, but my main language is English. I’m not exactly a true Chinese either as my livestyle and beliefs differ a lot because I’m much more westernized and I’m an atheist.

      The people whom you describe are not the type of users who frequent here. Hard to create a community where the people you might share commonality with don’t know you exist .

      I think you’re trying to find a place to call home in a completely wrong country (so to speak). The apps/websites that the mandarin community uses are completely different with almost no overlapped from the ones majority of the user here use.

    Happy July! Sad to hear most 3rd party apps are already down. But, i had a lot of fun last two days? Well, even prior to that. Had my person over to meet the family and the cats. My anxious cat who’s always anxious and scared of strangers warmed up to him and let my person pet his back. So cute 🥺🥺
