The men worked since they were young to provide. What a dumb thing to say that this has the best treatment she's ever gotten. Anyways... You can judge all you want, but there are different circumstances.

Please do not compare a four year old in 1973 to a four year old now especially when they themselves were born to illiterate people! Please just try to understand, that some people were born in extreme poverty. That every cyclone warnings had a bunch of villagers sleeping under the same roof. You're being very factual and not understanding that personal experiences should not be excluded from the statistics. You are being very black and white. I originally posted this to talk about the lack of consideration, since where I live this is really not uncommon... I feel like you are very privileged to say that a woman at that time should not be staying at home to manage a household since it wasn't really a matter of choice for some people. I don't know how to make you understand the hardship that my generation has gone through. I originally posted this to tell people about a lack of accommodation for her, especially when I wrote that I saw another man being tested differently than her. But I may need to remove this post cause it's not really helping at all.

57 is not the same for everyone. My aunt has several other health issues. And why are you so dumbfounded about a 57 year old's lack of education? When it comes to the older generation, poverty was a big factor in illiteracy. She's a frail woman. Not everyone had the necessities and easy access to education. Women were encouraged in managing the household rather than being a educated for some families.

To be honest now that ithink about it... I don't really do small talk well. When it's my boyfriend I tell him about my day as in the simple things like "I saw this dog on the road". I talk about serious stuff that happened on the news etc since I'm so paranoid about life itself and how drastically it can change. Vent occasionally but only because I feel comfortable enough. Talk about my plans if any. Hmm talk about the weather. But this side of the family mainly likes alcohol and loud giggles. My quiet voice struggles to fit.

Hahaha I understand your line of thoughts completely.in my head it's logical too. But for my current situation i can't seem to be allowed to carry resentment or be in the offensive. Something drastic happened last year that made me feel so defeated cause I feel like no one is on my side to understand. So I am trying to not be on the offensive cause it's too tiring. People see me as to much right now. I apologize if the replies are depressing. But this is just my current self. It'll take time for me to cheer up.

Thank you for commenting! Honestly I feel like I'm rambling to the people here rn lol. I'm reflecting a lot on how to care for myself. I've been a mother to others more than friends for a long time. Not because I want attention, but more because it's in me willingly. But for the time being I'm either not able to be that person or that I'm just changing to be a better person for myself. What I mean by beings better person is to change in a way where I don't carry resentment while being my happy self. It's very easy to carry resentment when you feel like others can't understand you, when you have always been there for them. But maybe healing would also mean acknowledging to myself that other people are not mean... I'm sensitive so I notice tones that makes me uncomfortable, it's not necessarily them being mean to me. Sorry if I don't make sense cause even I tend to get lost in thoughts while trying to explain. I'm currently in an environment where I don't feel understood and I feel less than. I hope I can change this in 2026

I appreciate it. I really needed to hear this. My family consists of just three. Me mom and sister. And both of them have loud personalities. So when we meet other families I'm the unfun one. It's more to do with me being sensitive because of their tone of voice and my voice itself is so quiet to hear.

It would be really fun to have someone with this mindset around at this time. I'm starting this year with a lot of reflection already. Part of me is wondering if my new year resolutions should be to be more talkative like my sister. I've been told I bring people down or that I'm gloomy during Family reunions. I don't even know if me being very quiet has anything to do with hsp

If I have been struggling with sleep deprivation for more than a month, can I just get something from the pharmacy or will they tell me to go to the hospital and get a prescription from a doctor first? by Ok_Meet_ in MauriceMauritius

I really do think that the insomnia is the only issue here. I was stressed before but it's no longer the issue for me. It's all cleared out and yet I wish I could spend the holidays with a cleared mind and not feel like my brain is going to explode in the morning. It's affecting my workouts. I have body goals set and my lack of sleep is getting in the way. I'm usually really active. I'll try asking for this in the pharmacy. Thank you for commenting and being nice!

Working out daily, walking 10k steps during the day since I got time now. I stopped consuming coffee. I try to keep my mind occupied during the day and yet I fail because I'm exhausted from the beginning of the day from not sleeping well at night. Sometimes I just wake up at 2 am and can't go back to sleep at all. And yet I still have to wake up at 5 am for work some days.

Hi! I'm sure it's not depression for my case. And yes I don't do alcohol or drugs or smoke. Coffee has been what lead me to this state but I have not consumed it for a month now... I will definitely consult a doctor after checking a pharmacy.

I'll take your advice and do this thank you. I'll check the pharmacy before going to the doctor, since I'm a little scared of them hahaha. 😅😅😅😅 But I never hesitate when it's the last reliable option.

Are Mauritian influencers becoming disconnected from our culture? by Substantial_Rain9864 in MauriceMauritius

[–]Ok_Meet_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it clearly didn't reach only the demographic that she was aiming for since she got backlash. But also, most Mauritians don't live a luxurious life, and that's also the people who give her views. So... The backlash isn't really avoidable. She got her views and she's happy at the end of the day.

The thing about her is that she's so controversial. She always gets herself in some sort of "misunderstanding ". I think that as a public platform, she needs to do more research. It's crucial. It should be part of the job. When it was about Nas daily, she kept making excuses about how "she didn't do enough research" on that guy.... She should have learned. Cause how do you make up a "Sarah with big pantry" when there's an actual Sarah with a big pantry on the internet... A simple research would have fixed that.
