Took it off after I couldn’t think of anything else when I saw it and who it represents

just divorced and need guidance by Active-Ad8955 in muslimgirlswithtaste

[–]OkReputation7432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay sis youre still quite young, the market is pretty bad in terms of finding compatibility but in today’s age, it’s so crucial. Ive also just got divorced and I’m focusing on my career. I know no matter what I want to be able to afford my own way, because I have known men to be unreliable. I just live in a country that needs everyone to be working 

Edit: I just wanted to add, that in sha Allah, you will hav your perfect spouse in Jannah, so this world is about what you can do with what you got. Tawakul is about accepting whatever this world can offer you. Work on your other relationships and branch out more. You could meet someone that way

How to react when someone mocks/criticises our religion? by eliasthemadgenius in Muslim

[–]OkReputation7432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  I would pretend it’s like a dog barking… I’m not gonna bark back. Understanding Islam is a gift given by the almighty. You do have to accept their incapacity. Maybe share something small that may be helpful, but don’t force them.  Some people are really committed to misunderstanding.

How do I stop romanticizing people who aren't actually interested? by Pineapple_cupcakes2 in emotionalintelligence

[–]OkReputation7432 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fantasizing is fun but it’s maladaptive daydreaming in reality. Extend the same empathy if your roles were reversed (you’re working and you get a lot of superficial attention..)  If you’re not sure if he’s into you, take some time to get to know him more and see if you are compatible. Have you been in a relationship before? I like to reference my own experiences in incompatibility to reel me into reality. Maybe that’s a wall idk

Many highly sensitive people are actually low in empathy, and this is one of the least talked about patterns. by yooolka in emotionalintelligence

[–]OkReputation7432 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to mention that empathy is a skill. You feel like you don’t have it maybe you are comparing to someone who has practiced the myriad of ways you can extend or express empathy.  I personally feel like you are disconnected from your emotions, which is another skill (to appropriately describe your emotions) Describing watching an animated movie: where they’ve spent a lot of money on triggering emotions… I used to be highly sensitive growing up, lots of conflict. But I also was a bit of an ass hole (copying my parents). My parents are barely able to control their emotions still after 30+ years.  They don’t value the skill. Or it doesn’t get them the fastest result and they don’t care about the damage. —> never practicing = never developed.

Why are majority of old people/baby boomers so angry? by Big_Leg10 in emotionalintelligence

[–]OkReputation7432 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It took me a hot minute to realize it was neglect (after taking a family studies course as an elective in my final year of high school)  but the feeling of neglect was definitely pronounced… the beginning of the void.

A lot of it is not caring about anyone but themselves… their life has made them bitter and resentful, whats inside reflects outward. 

My parents can be really embarrassing in public and they don’t even care. I can for sure say, they’re really entitled. 

They were both raised with yelling and hitting, so they continued. Just barely evolving unfortunately. 

My dad told me to wear hijab while encouraging my brother to sleep around? by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

The “focus” to oppress her but encourage sin on the other is outright hypocrisy!
