My Asian mom: "You need to make more friends in real life!"
Also my Asian mom: "Sorry, you can't be friends with them because they're distracting you from studies."
How the week went:
"I don't like that you have friends. They're dragging you dow-wait, they're smart? Okay, fine I guess."
"Julia, turn off your notifications so you don't get distracted."
"You can only talk with them every few days and definitely not during class."
"OK, I change my mind. You can't talk to them anymore because I feel like you're so distant from your studies. You can only talk to them if it's about homework, and I'm checking your phone every day."
"OK, I change my mind again. You can't talk to them at all. You should be figuring out how to do homework yourself."
"I don't trust that you don't talk to them anymore. Give me your phone."
"Oh, why are you giving me that attitude? I swear, friends can make you so depressed. What a bad influence they had on you."
...
"Why are you always inside? Do you not enjoy being with your family? Let's go to the park; maybe there you can make some friends for once."
