I have a arabic name (hussain) and it makes me feel like shit when someone that i known anonymously asks because there usually white and when i tell them there view of me completely changes.. what do i do ? do i tell them and risk there image of me changing? do i play it off as a joke? am i just a insecure pussy or is there something at stake here?both?!?!

this is on discord (context)
People will poke fun out of your name but never seriously. My friend was Persian with the last name Afshartabar and the PE teacher used to call him Afghanistan. It was pretty funny.
>Discord
Jesus Christ, why do you care?
People on Discord are fucking depressing. People who shill Discords, and defend Discords, are fucking depressing. Discord is fucking depressing.
Get outta there, man. Love yourself.
I Can relate my last name is Persian
(OP here )its just that i known them for a long time now .. like 2 years.. and if i tell them i feel like they will inherently treat me differently
(op here again) this is the second time it happened, with the first time all my fear came true. its such a huge problem i considered changing my name to something culturally neutral
Then you didn't know them, or shit about them, and nor they about you
You weren't ever their friend, you weren't ever valuable to them, you weren't even a person to them; you were a concept, a thing, an object or perhaps a fucking term like 'free food' on someone's phone or whatever.
Fuck outta there.
There is nothing funny about that. Too juvenile
That's a cool last name. I knew a Chinese guy in high school whose nametag read J Pan.
This, man. Get out of there. Love yourself. Get Steam Chat instead.
Press 'S' to spit on Discord's grave.

Ultimately, if you care that much, just try to give them your name and that's it. If they insist, use a second name as your surname, or just come up with a white one. They're Discord people, there's lower chances you meet them in person than with Tinder.
hussain sucks as a name but what do you go by? Hu-man? Mr Hu?
I'm weird but I always found arabic names sexy.
Own it, it's hot to be who you are without shame.
(op ) i can see the logic in that but .. i just need some friends that can see past my ethnic group do you understand.. like i know this sounds immature as fuck but i didnt choose to be named that but i have to deal with the disadvantage of their choice. i also cant rename myself because then ill be fake af. im in something i cant win
Not if your name is Hussain. Just change it to a good name. There are a million of them
There is nothing wrong with renaming yourself. How do you get that idea? If you did take a new name to go by what would be some names you like? Let's here 'em...
You just described to us in this thread how these people don't see past shit. This is what I'm saying, you're putting a pretense in front. Better to get people who sneer at you outright, rather than ones who wait for you to leave the room or who rely on the internet to hide them from things they don't like. Not to mention just about anyone I know who uses Discord would probably be first to throw others under the bus than admit that they're sick.
Trash Boat
>Hu-man
the disc name i go by is madist i would be ok with being called that (i am aware of the cringe this will give you)
>considered changing my name to something culturally neutral
How about Huey? Nice pun in there as well.
A lot of Chinese and Japanese with names like Ming Choy adopt Western nicknames like Mike to use casually. Would it upset you to introduce yourself as Harry or some such?
>Af-shart-abar
opportunity missed
my last name is also Hussain and i have some European friends who call me by that name instead of my first name and its fucking alright.
