I fully understand your point. I was born in Hungary and grew up in Germany from the age of 6 until I graduated from high school at the age of 19. When I moved back to Hungary I have left a lot of things out. Like you mentioned, celebrities etc. It is not just about race, Asian or not also the cultures even in Europe itself are so different... It took me a few years to fully integrate
I'm glad you've outgorwn a lot of your insecurities. It is a life-long struggle sometimes, but you're obviously doing it right. Focus on what we can control, and let go of what we can't. 頑張って!
As a Hispanic living in the US I have dealt with the same insecurities, I’ve been living here since I was 5 but still didn’t have the same knowledge or cultural experiences as a typical American. All the classics such as "Charlie Brown", "Christmas Story", “The sandlot” were met by cheers by everyone except for me. I didn’t know what Shirley temples were or that green apples were called Granny Smiths which made me feel stupid as you also experienced . That in itself I find interesting since here in the US we tend to think Asians are extremely intelligent. Physical appearance has also been an insecurity, being shorter than average and having darker skin was something that bothered me for the longest. I mostly gotten over it but I would be lying if I said it didn’t affect me once in a while. The one insecurity I can’t shake is my accent. No matter how much I focus on my pronunciation I can’t speak without an accent in both English and Spanish which again makes me think that people think I’m stupid. Also want to let you know that this podcast is among the best Japanese podcast around. The topics are interesting and engaging while still being learner friendly. The addition of the mic is also great as there was a lot of unstable noise with the ones that were held. Keep up the great work!
個人的な経験をシェアしてありがとうございます！いろんな文化から来たいろんな人をわかりやすくなるから、こういう視点？立場？を聞いて心に留めるのは大事なことだと思います
前からさやさんのポッドキャスト聞いてたんですけど、今度はちょっとしたコメントを書いてみたかったです。次回のエピソードも楽しみにしています！

insecurity を生み出すものは無限にあると思います、私の場合はうつ病でした。
36歳になった今でも、まだinsecuritiesを抱えています。
もしinsecurityについてポジティブなことを言うとしたら、それは自分の長所と短所に気付かせてくれたことであり、そのおかげで自分自身をよりよく知るようになったということです。
いつもサヤさんのポッドキャストは勉強になる。
楽しい一週間をお過ごしください。お疲れ様です！。🍎
その通りですね、自分自身をよく知ることのパワーは強いです！
