Some questions during CNY don’t sound harsh.
But somehow… they land heavy.
And in that moment, you either laugh it off,
or give an answer that doesn’t even feel like yours.
If this happens to you, it doesn’t mean you’re too sensitive.
It usually means the question touched something real.
You’re allowed to respond briefly.
You’re allowed to change the topic.
You’re allowed to say less.
You don’t have to explain your life at the dinner table.
Protecting your peace isn’t rude.
It’s self-respect.
Happy Chinese New Year🧧
