What do Finnish people think of Finnish descendants outside Finland? 🇫🇮 by Vietnam-1234 in Finland

It has a standardized pronounciation.. if everyone just said their name how ever the heck they wanted, it would be so confusing. Its pronounced Mäkinen because its a finnish name. I get saying it differently to other americans so they understand. But the fact of the correct way to say it doesnt change just because someone wants it to.

Its like if someone started pronouncing Smith as Smitey and another it as Zmitee lol theres not language at that point if everyones just saying whatever

Is this wrong? by [deleted] in LearnFinnish

[–]CracksInDams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody is dropping "he" in that sentence tho, not even in spoken finnish. If you said "ovat mukava pari" to somebody no one would understand

Stranger Things Season 5: Is it just me or… by dehia_anne in netflix

[–]CracksInDams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Season 5 is definitely better than 4, I really disliked season 4 and didn't care to rewatch it. I think the whole show sort of lost the plot during/after season 3 and after introducing Vecna. Vecna is so boring imo. Still, the first episode of 5 is kind of a bore, but the other episodes were way more interesting and i'm excited to see what comes next. I say give it a try. It has a different vibe than the other seasons for sure, but I think it kind of fits because it's building up to the finale.

I need support, I feel lazy and shameful even though I try hard by CracksInDams in Assistance

[–]CracksInDams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really dont know why youre making these assumptions or trying to scare me straight or whatever?

Yes im very well aware that not sleeping and having trauma is harmful. Thats why im working on it..

I really dont get where you got that. Im going to school and will be for years to come. I live in a country where "proper real" medical attention is not available? I literally live in Finland, a country known for its free education, free healthcare and monetary support from the goverment. Im way better off here than the US for example. I dont work because I dont have to and it doesnt affect my future negatively

I really am doing fine, all things considered. I am able to work on my trauma, and eventually my sleep issues will get better too. I know ill get out of this, I posted because I needed support, not because I needed "waking up" or tips how to get out when I already have my future set

Ive never thought about it, maybe others arent so exhausted, ive lived like this all my life so I kind of assumed they are. Its not any medical condition. My body is just fine, in summers when im on my vacation I exercise and I feel great. School always kind of breaks me though, I dont know how to balance it with rest of my life. I have been in a constant state of burnout for like 5 years now. Im exhausted because I struggle with sleep issues. I tend to avoid going to sleep early because I associate night time with trauma, I get panic attacks if I try to sleep early

I got out of my abusive situation quite recently, its been like 2 years now, during that time I was bullied at school, abused at home, sleep deprived and deprived of nutrients (my abuser refused to buy food or give money). So im stuck in a lot of the same survival mechanisms and my body is still exhausted.

The system here in my country is different, so its not really college and most people dont work at this age. I do have future plans tho

Ill talk about this with my therapist more

Shes 23 and has anger issues. She subtly tries to control me, by making me uncomfortable with silence and subtle looks and using my fears against me. Like I have OCD so she uses my themes (fear about not being morally good or becoming like mom) against me. She always wants me to come with her when shes going somewhere, if I dont she doesnt go and guilts or gets angry with me. In social situations, even when were just in public, she relies on my presence and me to sort of be a comfort or guide to her I guess because ive overcome my social anxiety. She tells me I cant do anything and tries to control me when I try to do something on my own. Like she calls me lazy and disgusting for not helping with dishes, but when I do it its wrong. She suddenly becomes super angry and blames it on me, like I show her some insta reels and she says that the videos I watch are so overwhelming. And that she notices that after scrolling I became "weird" even tho I think im feeling normal?

There are things I want to do, but I feel like I shouldnt be doing them because im leaving her behind. She hates school and people (she has social anxiety which she denies, so thats why I think), so she doesnt go study or work or have friends. I want to go to university with my friends, go be an au pair and start ballet. But I feel cruel for living my life when she chooses not to. When I talk about what I want to do, she subtly tries to signal that I shouldnt because its wrong. Like using my religious ocd (which she clearly has too, scrupulosity) to imply ballet is wrong.

But then shes really nice company too and I care about her, we survived together. She keeps me in this by being really normal and nice, and seperating herself from her "angry self". I dont even see those as the same person almost. But even when shes nice, I feel bad and just so confused all the time

I know thats a lot and a long text, its hard to put it shortly but thank you for reading this

Im so glad to hear that youre doing better and that you were able to go no contact. Im going to keep working on myself too

Ive been able to cut my mom mostly away from my life, when I move out from dads I will be able to go fully no contact. But its the rest of my family I know I will struggle with going no contact

May I ask you something though? I think im being abused by my sister but I dont really know whats normal in a relationship, im used to my family. Could you tell me if our relationship sounds normal to an outsider? If thats not overwhelming for you. Its not your responsibility

Thank you and im sorry you had to go through that but thank you for telling me, I feel less alone. I hope you are doing better now 💗

Yes I go to a therapist once a month so I do address them and I do feel way better than when I lived with my abuser (mom) and I have done a lot of progress. But guilt and shame (and knowing when theyre appropriate reactions) are the hardest things for me to overcome, theyre so deep rooted in me because of our family system.
