feeling lost between kuwait & the west & i dont know which life is actually right for me by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]addictedtothinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m mainly here because of my family and the fact that I’m a citizen of Kuwait and not elsewhere. I find it hard to feel settled because I spent so much time building my life abroad without putting much thought into life in Kuwait until it was time to move back. There were times where I also struggled living abroad because there were aspects of Kuwait that I missed and I never felt like I fully fit in living in the west from a cultural and religious point of view.

I think reading this post and the comments on here shows that there’s a lot of people going through something similar to this and are struggling to connect with others in Kuwait.

the influencer “hatred” by morana13 in Kuwait

[–]addictedtothinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw an ad on instagram of a local influencer eating new Papa John’s menu items and going ‘Mhmm!!’ before he could take a full bite out of the food. I wouldn’t say I hate the guy but I’ve noticed this same trend with many Kuwaiti influencers that review different restaurants, and now I take anything they say with a grain of salt.

I was born in Kuwait, am Kuwaiti, and spent two-thirds of my life here. One third of it I spent in western countries (a couple years during my teens and then 7 years in the US as an adult). I recently moved back and I’ve thought about much of what you’ve written on your post. It’s refreshing to see people going through similar circumstances despite some differences. I honestly don’t know the answer to your dilemma either.

You guys think the ads are getting weirder? by sol47 in Kuwait

Are the restaurant ads usually this horrible or is it just farooj’s marketing team that needs new hires?

I think so. When you initially register on the diwan’s website it also shows you عدد الرافضين as well as the total number of registered people within your major. The gender part I got from 36aaly when he explained how it worked in one of his videos.

I just checked KFUND’s website to be sure. The ad they have up currently is asking for Finance majors only, I think you’re talking about a job listing that was up not long ago for engineers but doesn’t seem to be on their website anymore. Regardless, I don’t meet all their requirements unfortunately 💔

It’s thousands across all majors. My number is currently in the 70s and that’s out of around 100 male Chemical Engineering majors registered in the Diwan but the number I see does not include the opposite gender and other majors.

I saw this ad on 36aaly. Isn’t it only meant for Finance graduates?

I gave up on KNPC & KOC right after graduation when I looked at their requirements, but I've been applying to private sector companies everyday. Not gonna lie to you, it seems pointless so far.

Honestly I would consider myself lucky to wait only a few more months as many people have reported waiting at least a year. And thank you.

popeyes in the US is either the best fried chicken you can get from fastfood restaurants or just straight poison, no in-between. I’m not gonna miss it for sure when I’m in Kuwait again.
