Societal Impositions

[medusa0]

I supposed I should be glad that my immediate family is relatively open-minded on some of the subjects here, but there are a few things:

For the friend issue, I doubt I can get anything close to what I have in high school, since people in college are spread out all over the county. Being utterly intimidating/repulsive to most doesn't help with making new friends either.

Grandparents believed that I should get married soon and have children to continue the traditional bloodline of the family, considering that I am one of the few who is not assimilated into the American culture. Too bad that it is not going to happen as long as I am far from home - as taking in a mate from a radically different culture will lead to some... problems.

There are no outstanding issues with occupations, as long as it is something that I can a fortune off with little risks to life. But most of my relatives thought that living a quiet life with a stable career is sufficient and wanting more (i.e. changing the world) is wrong. They are content with me earning a living by making video game art assets at this time however.

There, nothing too interesting.
