I Made A Comic Guide About The Korean Concept Called “Nunchi”, And It Might Help In Situations Where You Need To ‘Read The Room’

ADVERTISEMENT

These are some of my comics from a while back when I discovered a Korean concept called “Nunchi”, it is a good reminder for myself from time to time!

I have also posted on Bored Panda previously, and if you’d like to see my other posts such as a comic guide on how to handle gender expectations as a parent or an illustrated conversation with my wife about cleaning and chores, or even perhaps a wholesome comic about an otter who overcame societal expectations and learned to love himself for who he is, then make sure to click here, here, and here.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

    As an autistic person, I find this simultaneously helpful and infuriating. I can’t really assess tone of voice/facial expression, and it’s really annoying when people expect you to be able to do this naturally. But I do appreciate advice, and this is well meaning! Also, not gonna lie, this seems a lot like code switching/masking

    I understand your frustrations, but some of these are also just being aware/thoughtful. Has everyone had a fair turn? I was just in a meeting where one person had done most of the talking, so I made it a point to ask a question to the others who had not spoken, and I was careful to ask something in their area of expertise. Also, you be you, be authentic, let your team know this isn't your strongest area and ask for their patience and assistance

    I have been reading sociologists and educators worrying that strictly online interactions has been eroding humans' ability to pick up on context clues and body language.

    I am naturally very good at this. I guess it's just part of my personality. I'm always shocked when people don't know how to read a room. I've realized that some people just aren't as strong in this department

    My skills at reading a room are on par with a rock. I'm aware of this, so I'm more of a listener/observer.
