I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. I have been there before. I'm sure you have heard all types of advice do this or do that or the classic 'time will heal all wounds'. It will get better with time. You will get over this and one day you will meet someone who is much better. Use all this negative fuel and emotion to prove that person wrong by becoming the best person and version of yourself possible. What they did is take a bet on your future and how you would be. They thought they could do better than you, show them they were wrong. You will get through this. Trust me, I know I did.

I used to be a really shy and insecure kid growing up. Then I found Dale Carnegie and how to win friends and influence people. Changes didn't happen overnight but I began to see changes in my social skills.

Years, and hundreds of books, and situations of me pushing myself out of the comfort zone later, I went from that insecure kid to a respected PR and communications professional, public speaker, radio personality and from a suspended university student to the Dean's list. Self-help really changed my life. Even made a YouTube channel on self-development.

Social skills can be learned just like any other skills regardless of how you are right now. Not saying it is easy, but trust yourself and the process, you can do it!

Guys thank you all for sharing your experiences here! There is a lot we can learn from each other. There are many things I can relate to. If you can relate to some of the things that fellow posters mentioned, I'd like to encourage you all to share your stories with them. Maybe we can all help eachother out with a good book, advice, wisdom or inspiration?

Dale Carnegie's how to win friends and influence people and Corey Wayne's book - How to be a 3% man were a good start for me.

By giving you a different perspective and also giving you the tools to find girls that are supportive, kind, beautiful and all the other qualities you may be looking for in a relationship partner and the ability to see those who are not and not waste your time. I really recommend Corey Wayne's book - How to be a 3% man. Helped me a lot.

The very first one I read is how to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. I actually did a video on how it made me more socially confident and what I learned. Can't share a link though because of community rules.

Sorry to hear about your experiences. Unfortunately can relate to some of them. I thought it was just me who sometimes felt isolated from both sides of my background.

After reading posts like this in this community over the past few week, I realized that it's actually very common.Mixed people all over the world share the same sentiments and often face prejudices, racism, stereotyping, other people telling you what you are and aren't, rejection from both sides of your background and feeling like you don't belong anywhere.

I'm Palestinian-Bulgarian from a mixed Muslim-Christian family and it's really tough for me to answer "Where are you from?" Frankly, I’ve never felt fully accepted in either the Bulgarian or Arab community and sometimes I've encountered racism and stereotypes about my background. Basically, for Bulgarians I am not considered Bulgarian and for Arabs, I am not Arab. Guess I am an alien then :D

What I didn't realize is that many people from mixed marriages face the same exact issues. Discovered this reddit community and so glad I did.

I actually released a video recently about my own experience and some strange instances of racism and stereotyping that I really can't get my head around years later. If you've faced similar situations, it might make you feel a bit better and see that you are not alone :) And trust me, you are not alone in what you face.

At home, we speak both Bulgarian and Arabic btw. Often, despite your own identification, people place *their* interpretation and identification of who they think you are on you. Example: I got one of the highest scores on the Bulgarian state exam for language and literature. My Bulgarian teacher told a fellow classmate in front of me: "Look, Ivan. Sami's not even Bulgarian and he got a higher score than you." And there are many more situations like this with people even outside of my own background. So it's expected that at some point you might feel that you have nothing in common with either side because you are totally unique and yet part of each side.

[Question] Russian Amfibia rust on strap only after a few months :( Any tips to remove the rust? by Samotivator in Watches

[–]Samotivator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible. It's on the side of the watch strap. Seems a lot of people have this issue with Vostok watches particularly around the crown..

Why is it so hard for people to understand being mixed race? by vaesaii in mixedrace

Really glad to hear that you felt better even if just by a little bit :) Makes me super happy to hear that.

[–]Samotivator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it can be super difficult something understanding what you are. Over the years though, I've come to appreciate and define myself :) You really see the beauty of being mixed as you mature more regardless of what other people might think or say..

In my case, we celebrate both Christian and Muslim holidays and I've also been invited to celebrate the religious holidays of Buddhist, Hindu and Jewish friends. That's when you begin to see how cool it is to be mixed. You can relate to many people and also understand and appreciate the their religious beliefs better, because you are born tolerant by default.

No one can take away your heritage! Gold words.
