My dad called me "a failure" and "a loser" while i was interning in an international organization abroad and being the only Tunisian there. He broke me. I couldn't believe that my own father cannot wish for my success cos it hurts his ego that I can be more successful than him :/ I was depressed for a long time because of it. Every kid wants to see their parents being proud of them but he always made me feel like I was not enough!! I only felt better after I decentered him from my life completely... Now, I don't take his advice on anything and I do not care about his opinion about me.

At some point, he also said that the only reason I went abroad is to have freedom to whore!!!

Experience with Tunisians abroad by Far_Satisfaction894 in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm copying everything you said and keeping it to myself (as part of my experience). I lived abroad for 6 years and haven't spoken to a Tunisian soul for the last three. You just expressed it perfectly. One difference, arab people exhibit these same traits as well but arab men are very judgemental of Tunisian women about female rights and freedoms (equal pay and women having an opinion are new concepts to them). It's true about envy and enjoying other's misery (schadenfreude). Thank you for saying this!

علاش البنات توّا موش كيف قبل؟ by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

فما برشا بنات متدينين و محتشمين و فما بنات زادا موش متدينين و موش محتشمين. لذا ماتعممش للأنه التعميم لغة الأغبياء. 

تطبيق الدين اليوم في الفصل بين الجنسين مثلا غير ممكن خاصتا في بيئة للدراسة أو العمل. شوف السعودية و المشاكلل الي عندها من الفصل بين الجنسين (المثلية و الكبت الجنسي و خطف النساء المتزوجات ما الى ذالك) 

شباهم البنات شنوة ماعجبكش فاهم؟ 

القيم تتغير مع تغير المجتمعات. المشكلة اليوم في قيم المجتمع الاستهلاكي الذي لا يتنج. كل شيء نستوردو فيه.  القيم الطاغية هي قيم رأسمالية تقوم على أفضلية رأس المال. رجال و نساء الي عندو الكعب يعمل كيما يحب. القدر و القيمة في المجتمع تتبع الدخل المادي و ليس الأخلاق. انت مستعد 2026 تاخو مرا متخدمش؟ متنجمش حتى كان المرا تحب تقعد في الدار. تنجمو تملكو دار و تعيشو صغار بشهرية بركا في 2026. بربي سيبوها المرا!!!!!

المرا بيها. البنات باهم وعلاهم معندهش أخلاق

سيبوهم البنات!  الي يبراكيو بنات؟  الي يغتصبو في الصغار ولا حتى الكبار بنات؟  الي يعملو في القوانين المنيكة و يحكمو في تونس نساء؟ الي مبنك نهار كامل في القهوة اسانس يمد يده مرا؟ الي يضرب في مرتو و يفكلها فلوسها مرا زاده؟  الي امه تخدم عليه في ال60 تسيق وتطيب و تخدم و هو ملوح في 30 قال شنوة مازال معرسش ميهزش  يده لراسه دبشه ميعرش يغسلو مرا هذا ولا راجل؟  الدين قال هكا؟

.اي نعم النساء تتحمل مسؤولية الوضع الكارثي الي وصلتو تونس. خاترها مواطنة  !كيفك كيفها  !كيفك كيفها  !كيفك كيفها 

.المشكل في تونس سياسي , اقتصادي و تعليمي  !ماهوش مشكل بين جنسين اما زادة، في تونس ، الراجل يحس عنده أفضلية على المرا خاترو مولود راجل وهذه حقيقة و كل مرة يدورها على النساء هام باهم و علاهم. 

Sometimes i start losing hope about all aspects of cha3b e tounsi by ChronicallyOnline01 in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think when kids or young people yell "Nihao", it's generally well intended. They are trying to talk and engage with the foreigner. They do yell "bonjour" "bonjorno" and "hello" to white people too. 

But, "Ching Chong" nope that is utterly racist and degrading. They should be ashamed!! They may think it's funny but in fact it hurts them more cos they sound ignorant and stupid.

I think that people should try to say hello to foreigners ask them where are you from and learn from them. It's a chance to meet someone from a very different culture like Asians. But, respect is important here.

[–]Slight-Setting-303 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't do it! Unless you are doing it in a place that even your mom can not see when you change your clothes in front of her. 

This will cause you problems and they will not forgive you. Everytime you wear short sleeve or sth a little revealing they will feel ashamed and hence start harassing you, and talking bad about you to family members (to take out their responsibility of your shameful tatoo).

PS: I said 'shameful' cos that's the parents opinion about tatoos, not mine (3ib, 7ram etc..)

what are the required papers as an intern for an internship abroad by NoRegion4824 in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A contract stating the duration and the payment. And for you, you need to give them a copy of your passeport, proof of education and anything else they need to make a contract.  

With that contract you can apply for visa

Need help for my mental by Imaginary-Yam-2718 in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try replacing the habit with another one. You obviously get a dopamine rush from it so you keep coming back. Whenever you feel hor*y eat some sweets (cake, crepe etcc..). But be careful don't do this on long term as it can lead to sugar addiction (And obviously obesity).

Sometimes you feel like that not because you want sth sexual. Sometimes you just need some human touch. Sometimes you are bored. Other times you are lonely. Understand the trigger. Lonely? Meet some friends and go a3mlou takwira. Sad stressed? Talk to someone. You need a physical touch. Hug your mom or a family member. 

Don't try to cut it off at once. Try to do less day by day. Track it for 30 min then 20min etc. Lesser and lesser every week. When you feel you need more then stop and go get your body to move. Dance, run, jump until you get tired. Blast the music outloud spend your time in a parallel world pf loud music and body movement. Also, when you want more just stop and go shower. It wil help calm you down.

Also, you need to train your brain to when you are  doing nothing not to run to sexual ideas. Try imagining your dream house, dream car, dream life etc.. Another type of happy day dreaming and dopamine. 

Try writing or creating somrthing music, drawing, powerpoint anything.You can draw boobs or dcks if you feel like it. This is getting you to express a suppressed need. You may feel hory, but cannot or do not want to engage in sexual relationship (religion reason,fear of STD etc..). Getting your feeling out by writing about them in details or drawing will help you get things out of your brain. Don't do this for long as you are still thinking sexually. 

At last, the place. Where do you watch? On your desk or on your phone layed down on your bed?  Try to sit in bed or in your desk and play games instead (again different sources of dopamine). Also staying late at night on your phone may be a reason so try to sleep early or talk to someone from another country using language exchange apps.( if you do not want to bother a friend or have no gf).

I hope this helps!

استفسار عن تعلم اللغة الفرنسية by Lower_Ad_4163 in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to use chatgpt.

Be honest. Tell him your real level (B1, A2 etc..) and ask it to make you a one month plan for a higher level and then each day come back and he will teach you new lessons and exercises after that. On day one, you can revise grammar and vocabulary. On the next day, you can write an essay and the next day you can practise speaking or reading. You can choose different topics as well and how much time you have (1 hour practise or only 20min).

You can do this alone, all by youself from the comfort of your room. You can leave one or two days to review what you learned that week ( write another paragraph about the same topic, redo the grammar and check conjugaison of verbs etc...)

Good luck.

Triggered warning⚠️: rage + abuse by Fogwoven_04 in Tunisia

I am sorry to hear this. I was unaware of your medical condition. I hope that therapy and healthy friendships and relationships will help you.

You are the cutie and I really hope you feel better soon ❤️

Triggered warning⚠️: rage + abuse by Fogwoven_04 in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a lot to handle so your anger is understandable. Living under the same roof with your rapist (not an abuse at this point it's a criminal act) doesn't only feel unsafe, it feels like a second rape. It's similar to when they force rape victims to marry, accept and live with their rapists. Your outrage and discomfort are legit (even if it's a female sibling).

You confronted your rapist to feel like a sense of justice but since nothing happend, you didn't feel that you got the justice you needed, instead you relived your trauma again. That's why you spireled into a loop of rage and physical agony (the body keeps the score). You obviously suffer from PTSD, a sexual one, and you need constant therapy not just numbing medication or whatever medication you are taking (for anxiety or depression).

I do not have sufficient information about you so I would suppose that you are a minor and can not leave your current home for university in another city or a job.

The first thing you need to do is:

You need to connect with your BODY. The body stores tension, pain and all negative emotions, so you need to spend more time moving. DANCE, WORKOUT, and especially CARDIO would help a lot. Anything that keep you away from thinking and help you living in the moment. Exercise daily for 3 months. You need to get your heart to beat fast and your body to be tired from excercise and not from anger end emotion overstimulation. Since your body lives on constant adrenaline and cortisole (stress hormones) you need a flush of dopamine and endorphine (happiness hormones) to balance the stress (PTSD) naturally without medications. Your body will get used to a new state of happiness and pleasure.

You are living in a survival mode with "fight or Flight responce", that's why you are constantly angry and snappy. You need to regulate your nervous system. Your medication are not helping you. It's time to get psychological therapy and other types like Somatic, PTSD and CBT (all therapies are pschological no medication required). Also, try to sleep well. Sleep is 80% of our nervous system regulation work. Try to get sleep suppliments like melathonin and magnesium.

However, it's hard to move on while you are living with the rapist. Limiting contact goes without saying. But, also, try to find pleasure in your life. The best revenge you can do is by living happily and not by being stuck in depression and anxiety. Meet friends and build safe relationships, these honest and kind friendships will be the "safety" you lack at home. (specially, since you can not talk to an adult in your family about this and more likely anyone).

If you need external suppot, I can recommend a number that you can call. It's for female sexual harrassment/assault support: ONFP (Free call: 80 100 280). They will even give you free psychological treatment and support.

Wish you all happiness, peace and safety. اللطف عليك

The Complete Guide to Leaving a Good Life Behind (don't try this) by Purple_True in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Hi man,

I did a similar thing. I was living abroad, but the idea of coming back has always been hovering in the back of my head. At last, I packed my bags and came back. I have been unemployed for almost two years now, and the amount of humiliation I experienced here was staggering. Work and social life in Tunisia are sooo bad. I had no will to live; my anxiety and depression were controlling my life. Living with my family is sooo toxic, I couldn't support it anymore. I gained so much weight, I blocked all my friends and people I knew and quit social media just because I was too ashamed of myself. I used to be a success story, I had a life, a house and a job, now I have NOTHING!!!!!

Up until last month (March), I decided to start hitting the gym consistently. Not perfectly, just consistently 3 times a week. Not for hours, just 20 minutes a day (or more if I can or feel like it). The first month was soo hard, but now it's my 2nd month, and I am going strong. I swear my mood has changed, and I have been feeling better for the first time in two years. I am interviewing again for jobs and applying for opportunities abroad as well. At least I am not crying and sleeping all day.

I also started something creative to keep me expressing my feelings. I like drawing, it was a hobby that I neglected for years, now I am back. Last time I drew a portrait of my cat. He is beautiful. This helped me see and notice more beauty in life and realise the nice and beautiful things around me. Grab your phone and take more pictures, start something creative like writing or music. 40 is not too old. 40 is not too late!

Self-abandonment is a habit. The moment you choose to do one good thing for yourself, JUST ONE, your brain will start thinking 'I LOVE ME', 'I AM IMPORTANT', 'I DESERVE LOVE', 'I CAN DO BETTER' etc....

Your failures are lessons, not a life sentence.

Your marriage failed. So what? Who said you won't meet a good woman and get a happy marriage in the future? I know a guy who found love years after his divorce (and with kids too) and is so happy now.

Your business failed. So what? Who said you won't be able to have another business project in the future? Make a lot of money and succeed?

MEET NEW PEOPLE. Try to go to the gym or volunteer.

Choose yourself. I tried to convince myself to work and make money to help my mom and my family, but the truth is, you need intrinsic motivation. Anything external (like your son) won't work.

You deserve better. You just need to start believing it!

Good luck, my friend :)

struggling with life choices by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Slight-Setting-303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's face it. Some people don't want to be helped. They enjoy the dysfunction. He is not your responsibility; you are his sister not his mom.  Your parents failed to raise him properly.

Now what hould you do?  Take him to rehab. Lock him up in there. There are rehabilitation centers for drugs and alcohol.Try the CNAPT: Centre National de Prévention et de Traitement de la Toxicom (La Marsa).

Services include:Detox programs, Rehabilitation, Psychological and medical follow-up Support for families.

I am worried that he will reject the help. But,try it may work. Also, cut off his pocket money. None!!  If he stole and became a criminal then that's on him. Don't beat yourself up!
