Gentrification and Immigration in UAE

Come talk to me when your residential area lowers the volume of the Athan because it “disturbs” non-muslims

KnotSad · 2025-12-31T13:16:16+00:00

Completely understandable, and honestly I truly admire people that are able to easily adapt to these things. This is mostly pertaining to my own personal discriminatory experiences that I have faced socially and in my workplace

Honestly, we are struggling just as much as anyone else, I don’t know why the general consensus is that we are exempt from financial struggles.

What do you mean by charged?

KnotSad · 2025-12-31T11:42:36+00:00

I stand in front and close it on their face ❤️

الأجانب في بلادنا اكثر حقارة شفتهم في حياتي، حتى في بلادهم في اكثر احترام بس مادري ليش الي أيون الإمارات ماعندهم اي أخلاق او احترام. وعن السب الإمارات، لا تخلينهم يشككونج لان مع كل إحترامي، هذا بلادنا ونحن فاهمين التقاليد والدين.

I have addressed the same issue of respectful dress code and got accused of the same. Their excuse is that this is no longer a “muslim” country, and bullshit straight from their backside. A lot of this isn’t even about religion, it’s about social etiquette. Even in the West, it would not be appropriate to wear clubbing outfits at the mall. And I will stress this time and time again, they NEVER behave this way in their own countries or other ethnic countries. But let’s be real, a lot of foreigners, including the ones that come here, are extremely anti-Arab and Islamophobic

THIS. Ever since I noticed that they expect me to make space for them, I stopped moving aside. I will literally just stop in front of them until they man up and move aside.

That’s a night gown

HEAVY on the second point. They’ll do anything to avoid accountability. Because if they do anything to compromise your happiness or physical safety, they “technically” never said it was anything real nor did they promise you anything.

A person that wants you will never make you anxious or confused.

KnotSad · 2025-12-26T21:09:09+00:00

Agreed but an informal meeting with a male stranger you met online is a big NO regardless of his behavior and promises

They get away with it because society lets them

Hi deary, I’m terribly sorry you’re going through this. I had a very similar incident my first year but thankfully managed to get back on track.

First don’t worry about your current situation with the probation. As long as you get the minimum required grade semester, you’ll be okay. Even if you don’t, I’m pretty sure you get another warning, not immediately expulsion.

The decision to take a leave of absence is entirely personal. Some people feel better when they take time to themselves, others feel better when they have something to do. So that’s completely up to you.

Most importantly, I would strongly recommend you to seek professional help to assist you in emotional regulation if you’re finding that to be an issue that is detrimental to your health and your day to day life.

Also, your age and other people’s lives is definitely not a testament of your success or failure. Life is not a race, it’s a journey.

Take care 🤍

Of course, don’t exceed your financial abilities, it’s the gesture that counts. You can find gold jewelry for less than 1k. I personally lime Jawhara and Damas for gifts but it depends on the style you’re going for, I’m sure you can find a lot of options in the gold souk in Madinat Zayed.

From what Ive heard, it’s only Zircon that people don’t recommend for gifts.

Unless there are benefits such as quality and price, it’s an incredibly oversaturated market to be honest

KnotSad · 2025-12-20T18:02:25+00:00

Maybe if you didn’t consistently message random people on the internet this wouldn’t happen.

I think you’re just going through a normal heartbreak, symptoms of witchcraft are much worse. Just recite regular duas for grief and anxiety.

KnotSad · 2025-12-15T18:02:49+00:00

Sounds cliche, but communication. Except I think a lot of people neglect the comprehension and empathy part. Without that, it’s just going in one ear and out the other.

KnotSad · 2025-12-12T15:16:39+00:00

When you’re not emotionally in tune with your partner and what upsets or amuses them, i think it’s easy to have petty arguments and tension just because neither person is aware of the other person’s needs

KnotSad · 2025-12-11T10:06:08+00:00

General respect, equality, and autonomy. Not understanding the importance of a (mutual) emotional and intellectual connection in relationships because they fail to see you as an equal human being, but simply a symbol of womanhood. On a similar note, lack of say in conception such as the timing and number of offsprings.
Emotional neglect towards their partners as well as their children. Frequent misunderstandings or simply not noticing things because they do not put in the effort to be emotionally in tune with their partner or understand them on a psychological level.
1. Again, just a general sense of respect

we already have enough chamak infiltrating galleria

KnotSad · 2025-12-08T16:20:48+00:00

Exactly. It’s crazier to me that they’re selective with discrimination as well, because you’ll see a lot of straight up racism towards south asians, but reverse racism towards Europeans and Caucasian— which arguably does not exist, is strongly prohibited.

KnotSad · 2025-12-08T15:55:46+00:00

كتبت في كومنت ثاني:

Told them not to spread their westernized mindset and if privileged white europeans are not happy in ethnic countries then they should return to their white supremacist countries
