the korean girl that hated me

In 2011 at a Japanese guesthouse, Daniel nervously approached two Korean women but received brief replies and little reciprocal interest. After one woman blocked him on Facebook and ignored him in 2013, he stopped approaching women, fearing humiliation and rejection. Photos suggested the Korean woman and Swedish man were a couple; Daniel admitted his social awkwardness may have contributed.

A single humiliating encounter generalized into avoidance of women and suspicion toward Korean women.
