<aside> 🌏

Off-Stage is a private, multilingual community where people across Asia share the feelings we rarely speak about. Not therapy. Not advice. Just "me too" moments—so none of us have to carry the unspoken alone.

🤝 What is Off-Stage?

A safe space where people across Asia share raw, universal slices of life—the weight behind the smile, the loneliness in crowds, the clash between duty and self.

Just "me too" moments.

💭 Why Off-Stage?

Because we're all performing.

At work, we smile and say "I'm fine." With family, we nod and carry expectations. In public, we keep face.

But off-stage? That's where we stop performing. That's where we're just us.

👥 Who is this for?

Adults (18+) across Asia navigating through life:

• Family ties that bind and tangle
• Work-life tensions and quiet burnout
• Unspoken loneliness in crowded cities
• Identity between tradition and change
• Relationships that don't fit the script
• Identity, Self.

Also welcome: diaspora Asians, expats, third-culture kids, anyone who resonates with Asian cultural contexts.

How does it work?

Invite-only for safety.

We start small (100 members in 2026) and grow thoughtfully. Every member is invited or vouched for.

Platform: Discord with auto-translation

Monthly voice/video gatherings, async sharing at your pace.

Community Guidelines:

⚙️ How does it work?

• Share your truth, not others' secrets.

We start small (100 members in 2026). Every member is invited or vouched for.

• No selling, promoting, or recruiting.
• Lurking is valid. You don't have to perform here either.
• Empathy > Advice. Listen more than you fix.

<aside> 🚫

What Off-Stage is NOT:

This is not counseling. I am not selling anything. No fees. Not for minors under 18, or people in acute crisis seeking clinical intervention. (We redirect to local resources.)
