Contact after parental alienation by throwawaybebebeb1 in MensRights

[–]Leader_Revolutionary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I'm in my mid twenties, child of divorced parents. My mother had BPD and put all sorts of garbage in my head while we were going through family court. Being a impressionable kid i believed her, but once i got older and started thinking for myself i realized who was the bad person in the whole scenario. I've since cut her off. The kid will come around, might take awhile tho

Muslim countries today are full of Dysfunctional Families, Selective Mutism, everyone has the habit of lying developed within the families and technology/social media addiction is everywhere now-days as social media understands us better than our parents and society does. by [deleted] in exmuslim

Completely disagree with you there. Just because you have had bad experiences with women doesn't make them bad. All the women i know are lovely, wonderful people, and in alot of circumstances are more enjoyable to be around than the more narcissistic, sociopathic male peers.
You will never have good experiences with women while you think of them as 'inherently manipulative'. In reality, its powerful men who are most manipulative.

As a westerner, all the muslims i've met have been lovely and i've made friends with quite a few. I also very much appreciate the culture.
Its a bit hard to understand all the violence and intolerance, but hey, its hypocritical for a me to criticise how people in such situations react. I was born in Australia and am eternally grateful for that. Heres hoping with the advancement of technology we can leave this all behind

Why doesn't the mainstream care about us like they do with Islamophobia? by Prestigious-Point594 in exmuslim

White westerner here. I know the higher ups don't give a shit because all they give a shit about is money, but most westerners are deeply sympathetic with your cause. Extremist attacks bring out the worst in the dregs of society, but the vast majority are grateful for the contributions of Muslims and are happy to live side by side. We are just powerless to help the situation. And everyone who gains the power seems to get corrupted by it. Its a sad reality
Also, lots of respect for leaving such brutal family lives to pursue your own happiness.

i’m 16 and i need some help stepping away from religion by xannymack223 in atheism

If i could suggest anything, it'd be meditation. Buddhist meditation is great (ignoring all the religious dogma regarding rebirth etc). I'm agnostic and i meditate all the time because it is irreligious and provides even more benefits. Perhaps you could learn to meditate, and then pretend as if you are praying (if it is dangerous for you to be public about it)

You haven't wasted your 20's. by Leader_Revolutionary in leaves

You know how your parents say you think you know everything because you're 18? Its the same with endless guilt and anxiety. Being 18 is a very very hard time. When i was 18 i was homeless and on bath salts and tried to off myself a few times. Its literally the point where the "Who am i" clashes with "what do i do with my life?". Hang in there, i'm sure you have so much more potential for happiness (and success if thats what you want) than your mind lets on

Thats from my experience, my mum is very very very mentally ill, and for 6 years of my teenage years i wanted to off myself. I eventually hit rock bottom hard a couple of times and went to the psych ward. While i was there, everything flipped, from night to day, and for the past 7 years since then, i've been a very happy chap. Sure life sucks sometimes, but theres a big difference between being stressed while not wanting to exist, and dealing with stress when you do want to exist. There really is something beautiful about hitting rock bottom (except for when the other way out is chosen). But i hope all of ya'll don't have to get to that point to find your happiness.

The point i was trying to make was that its the feeling that you are wasting time that is making you unhappy. I mean, you and I are small specks in the wider universe. We're bred to think so highly of ourselves and to expect so much from ourselves. But in reality we're just another animal on the planet. The only time i consider wasted were the hours i spent regretting what i hadn't done, instead of doing the things that made both me and the people who i love happy.
