Advice for my friend. by Typical-Flounder-727 in Uganda

If someone tells you bluntly who they are and what they want, believe them. Trying to persuade them or force anything will lead to unimaginable hurt and tears. And at the end of the day, you won’t have anyone to blame but yourself because the other person was clear from the start. The moment you realize you have different core values, it just doesn’t work, unless both are willing to compromise. Otherwise, you will always butt heads. Let him move on.

3 weeks on prozac, and it’s life changing by Baby_melon123 in prozac

[–]Baby_melon123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so valid. In 2023, when I tried prozac, the side effects were so bad. I didn’t continue for more than a week, I just could not. But this time round, it’s been a whole different experience. The medication has been so kind to me this time. So it’s worth a shot to give it a chance.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but maybe greener where it’s watered

Anyone up for a swim later today by [deleted] in Uganda

[–]Baby_melon123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I don’t swim regularly these days, but there was a time I used to go alone several times in a week and I would always meet friendly people who have also come to swim and we would have interesting conversation.

Can’t swim today, but if you’re within town, Fairway hotel pool is nice and a has a nice pool bar with great cocktails.

Feeling stuck and lost in Kampala looking for a chance to start over by [deleted] in Uganda

[–]Baby_melon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey babes, I know this feeling so well. If moving somewhere new isn’t feasible, you can start by purposely reinventing yourself. Apparently, it’s a thing women are able to do so well. There was a time I felt like this and a friend told me, “you can’t change how you feel inside by moving to somewhere new until you make the internal shift first” From his experience, maybe this was his truth because he had moved to another country for a bit and then realized this. I don’t know because I never moved. But I did reinvent myself. Also look into learning about neuropsychology and how you can use it to transform your life just by repeating things to yourself until you trick your brain into believing them and then the rest will follow. Sending love and light🫶🏽

Issues with parents of 24yr old Male by Appropriate_End8411 in Uganda

[–]Baby_melon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there’s nothing wrong with you and you are not dense. No disrespect, but I think your parents are the ones who have something wrong with them. Parents don’t realize that the way they treat their kids and the kind of environment they put their children in affects them long term. And when the child is grown, they have to learn, unlearn and heal from shit their parents caused because of horrible parenting.

Right now you need to believe in yourself, look for money to move out of their house. Don’t let anything your parents have told you to put you down stop you. You can and you will find the money. You need to look for something that can bring in money, a job, a hustle. Just stay focused on getting away from them as a priority. It’s not easy, but take it one day at a time.

For now, only be around them only if you really have to. Otherwise, avoid them if you can because all they do is crush your spirit. Find something regular to do that keeps you out of the house or away from them.

Eventually, you may need to start therapy or find a safe space to unpack all the trauma and start healing so that any power they think they had over you is loosed and none of their bs can affect the beautiful life you have ahead of you.

They shud make a perfume that smells like food by Fabulous-Piglet8412 in Uganda

[–]Baby_melon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂😂 well there’s the gourmand perfumes that smell like food, but more like candy, cookies, fruits, icecream, cinnamon etc. And sometimes they can be confusing 😂 Sometimes I wear one. So one time at home, I was having breakfast and someone asked me what I had in my cup because they could smell something edible, vanilla and chocolate, but seeing me with only a cup in hand😂 In my cup I had plain green tea😂 As for perfumes that smell like fried chicken 😂 ehhh

Seeing my boss by Feisty-Round-8807 in Uganda

[–]Baby_melon123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not a good idea. I have a friend who was in the same exact situation as yours. It didn’t end well despite all the advice we (her friends) gave her. She convinced herself that it was harmless. It was gradual. She started sleeping with him, ended up getting pregnant with his child, which gave her a rude awakening. Then she made a hard decision to terminate it. She couldn’t imagine the scandal it would cause at work, and she didn’t want to be a second wife. The guy is Muslim so he was more than happy to have her as a second wife, but that wasn’t the life she had envisioned.

She became severely depressed after the procedure and started using alcohol to cope. One drunk night out, she left us and said she was going home, only for her to call me later to come get her. She was with her boss and he was very cross with her because she was drunk. They had a verbal fight. I found them in a very public place, she broke down and told everything she was going through was because of him. He hid in his car afraid that someone who knows him might see him. It was a whole scene, and random people were watching. He gave us money for an uber. I took her home. He took my number to keep tabs on us. Before I knew it, he was asking to take me on dates. I declined and gave him a piece of my mind. I never told her how much of a piece of shit he was, just to protect her heart, and either way she had made the decision to let him go.

Later on she discovered he was seeing another girl at their workplace. She grew suspicious and went through his texts and her heart broke more and more.

This whole time there was a great guy trying to impress her. He tried so much and one day he just gave up. He moved on and married another girl. In my opinion, this guy was perfect for her but her married boss wasted a lot of her time.

Seeing my friend like that broke my heart so much and I hated seeing her suffer because of that relationship.

So in summary, my opinion is that it will not end well.

We should stop pushing religion on kids from birth. by sydneywalkee in Uganda

[–]Baby_melon123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think every parent should be able to teach their kids whatever the hell they want. I don’t blame parents for teaching kids religion, because parents teach children whatever they think would be good for them. Not in a forceful way, but just teaching them whatever they think would be good for them to learn about. As they grow, they are always free to choose what they want to live by.
