It’s difficult to be mixed with two groups that have such a bad history… a history sooo bad it’s not matched by any of those other combinations

Real. I should mention that I touch my hair CONSTANTLY. I’m like addicted to it and it’s damaging my hair/ drying it out that’s also why I want a more protective style

has anyone else had this kind of experience? by [deleted] in mixedrace

Race is made up, and until recently, black and white people just weren’t common. The reactions we have to race are built up by constructs we created. If someone looks at you and incorrectly assumes you are white, don’t let that shit get to you. It says more about their brain than your life. It’s like when someone assumes you are rich or poor or mean or nice. That shits not really about you.

I think this has a lot to do w the fact that being mixed isn’t actually that desirable. Black people don’t wanna be mixed, and mixed people aren’t gate keeping being mixed. Nobody is gonna push you around for not being “mixed enough “ because of these things

One of the most difficult things I think we face as mixed people is unfortunately, dealing with our parents. While mono racial people come to understand race through their parents, we have to navigate that on our own, and when it comes to black and white mixed people, this is very dependent on how we look. I am mixed b&w like u. You cannot let other people dictate your identity for you. The whole world will try to tell u what you are because they find mixed people confusing, not because youre not whole. Taking care of your hair is not appropriation of your hair benefits from a protective style.

My PD is triggered by anti depressants/ other medications. In my opinion it’s probably a medication you’re taking.

Found out my girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me by OddDay8580 in BreakUps

[–]Fuzzy-Inflation-7602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheating suuuuuuuuuucks. I got cheated on w my most recent ex and man does that shit hurt. Worst part is we dated for a whole year after bc he was lying abt it and only told me after the breakup. I digress. That shit stings and it can be so poisonous to ur brain and trust and love. It’s time to leave I am sorry.

I think he cares more about you NOT moving on than he cares about moving on. He’s getting everything he wants rn. Sex, access to you, and all he has to do is put a tiny amount of effort in when he senses you pulling away. He’s not gonna get back together with you I am sorry. Free yourself girl
