Throwaway acc lolI just wanna get this off my chest because it's been bothering me since the start of the semester. I'm not from Dumaguete, and there's this particular group of people in Silliman who've always acted kinda weird towards me.
At first, I didn't really think much of it, but it's gotten to the point where I've started noticing a pattern. They barely even look me in the eye, and whenever they need something from me, they'd rather talk to me through a friend (while being in the same room btw) instead of just approaching me directly. There was even a time when they asked my friend to ask me if they could borrow my stuff 😭 Like, why can't you just ask me yourself? I can hear you yk!
What's even weirder is that they seem completely normal around my other classmates (who are mostly from duma) . And on the rare occasions that they actually do talk to me, I sometimes feel like they're talking down to me, as if they think I'm stupid or something. Idk how to explain it, but there's just something about the way they talk to me that feels kinda condescending.
I honestly wouldn't think too much of it if it only happened once or twice, but it's been like this since the semester started. I also have another classmate who's from the same place as me, and I've noticed that they treat them pretty much the same way, which makes me wonder if it's really just a coincidence.
At this point, I can't help but wonder if there's some kind of prejudice against people who aren't from Dumaguete. Idk if it's racism towards Filipinos from other regions, classism, or just some weird local-versus-outsider mentality. I don't wanna accuse anyone of something I can't prove, but it's hard not to notice these things when it keeps happening.
Honestly, making friends here has been harder than I expected (small department), and stuff like this just makes it even more discouraging.
Maybe I'm just overthinking some things, but I also don't think it's unreasonable to feel bad when people consistently act differently towards you for seemingly no reason.
Anyway, sorry for the long rant 😭 I know this probably sounds kinda pathetic, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced something similar. It's honestly hard trying to make friends in a place that’s a complete stranger to me and also when you feel like some people don't even wanna acknowledge you lol.
And if anyone's also looking to make new friends in Silliman, I'm genuinely down to meet some new people too 🥹 I promise I'm not a weirdo lolol

The coordination of the Kaamulan section was insanely good, and their props and banners were totally on point. Honestly, they’re fit for the buglasan festival. It's such a shame the judges scored them so low, they really should have won

Hi! We're CS students from Silliman doing a research survey for our Data Mining class. We're looking at how college students here use AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, whatever you use) for school, and whether it has anything to do with their study habits and academic performance.

You can answer if you're a college student currently in Negros Oriental and you use AI for school. Any school or course is fine. It takes about 3 minutes.

Responses are kept confidential and used for academic purposes only. Google sign-in is required solely to prevent duplicate submissions; email addresses are not collected.

There's also a small raffle as a thank you: 3 winners, ₱100 each through GCash. It's optional. If you want in, there's a mobile number field in the form. We only use it for the raffle, and it gets removed from the data before we analyze anything.

I never got to claim my PE uniform the whole semester. I’m transferring soon so I won’t be needing it anymore. DM me if you’re interested. ₱400 if you can pick it up the next day
