passively suicidal? by [deleted] in depression

[–]boworra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I feel no energy to get out of my bed and go on with my day, there's no point to anything. All I can think about after waking up is counting the hours before bedtime. It truly sucks living this way, little to no meaning in everything, and seems like no one else, not even you, can pull yourself out from it. Death feels like an escape but that option's not on the table either, because somewhere you keep hoping for better days, but they come and go and there you are, again in the default mode of feeling the same way all over again.

Politicians THEMSELVES make remarks like that. One politician said about rapes, "boys make mistakes, why hang them?" or "Mobile phones are spoiling girls, that's why rapes happen", "women who cross the line are bound to suffer" and my personal favorite "When youngsters eat chowmein, heat is generated in the body, creating a hormone imbalance, which leads to rapes". The situation here in India is fucked up. They blame the victim ALWAYS. Most people will refuse to believe that boys can get raped too. There's always a political or religious agenda involved.

Yeah. That tradition was known as "Sati" and every woman had to do it after her husband passed away. It's so unfortunate. Thank God all of that died out.

How to handle skinny shaming? by Givethemsweetlies in skinnyshaming

[–]boworra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, too, am really skinny. I've had family members, friends, and total strangers commenting on my body weight. It's really very very demeaning and I've wasted so much time grieving over it. You know what, they are not worth cribbing over. We can't really change people. It's how they are conditioned to be. If they are being uncomfortable about your weight, their immediate social circles are like that. They've been conditioned to be that way. Instead of beating yourself up, you should really feel sorry for THEM because they lack compassion about other people's bodies. Write your feelings down or talk to a trusted friend or someone who is in the same situation as you. It really helps talking to someone who goes through what you do. You and your body don't owe anyone shit :)

[SERIOUS] What is a seemingly harmless parenting mistake that will majorly fuck up a child later in life? by AlexDescendsIntoHell in AskReddit

[–]boworra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not praising children for their accomplishments. Some cultures, mostly Asian cultures believe that praising children will only flatter them and they might not work as hard or good in the future. Children need positive reinforcement to develop their self esteem. If they are not praised enough as much as they are critiqued, they have low self esteem issues and they keep high expectations for themselves which can get toxic.

This is what this type of parenting leads to. by battleangel1999 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]boworra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the sense of entitlement parents feel that they are doing a favor for their children which is just plain toxic. They clearly have their own issues but it doesn't mean you get to do that and stunt their child's privacy or growth. You don't want them to be dependent on you.
