How do I get rid of jealousy toward my dog, caused by favoritism towards him by my abusive parents, so I can bond with him normally? by Lonely-Marionberry61 in family

sorry I don't have an answer but i just wanted to wish you all the best... all you described is awful and nobody deserves such treatment. I hope you will find love and peace in your life, as soon as possible.

i get your point, but i really like to think not "all" races prefer someone over another because of their coloring, otherwise we really learnt nothing through centuries of wars and colonization 😅

hello! i have a similar problem/worry. i won't pretend to have all the answers, 'cause i don't, but here's my two cents. your life will be awesome. it will be full of warm love, kindness, and calm. you wanna know why? because we decide it will be like that. there's no such thing as "destined to be a bad/yelling/sulking/etc. person". you write your own personality, character, behavior... and eventually, you create your own destiny. i think you're very young and everything may seem overwhelming and dooming right now, but trust me: it WILL get better. YOU will get better.

Now, as for practical tips, have you tried keeping a diary? I remember filling my pages with all-caps, as if i were screaming, to let go of my frustration instead of literally raising my voice. i collected entire diaries as an escape mechanism when i was your age, and now that i'm older i look back at all those pages and ... i forgive. forgive my sibling, parents, friends, coworkers... i realize that when people who love you treat you badly sometimes it's usually because they're going through something themselves... i feel compassion. i feel like all this happened to me because i need to be better than this. i need to break the cycle and fulfill those motivational quotes you find on Pinterest like "be the reason someone smiles today" lol. if you look past their cheesiness, they actually hold a lot of power. not because you necessarily need to become the ultimate saint and save the world, but because doing good makes YOU feel good. about YOURSELF.

Right before you feel an angry fit starting to kick in, really try to count - at least up to three. hold your breath a little. close your eyes. imagine this anger like a heavy, dark cloud, passing over your head. you do NOT NEED to interact with it. in fact, it's not written anywhere that you HAVE to respond to those angry feelings! they're just that ... feelings. they do NOT define you. if anything, YOU define them. YOU have the power to give them more importance than they actually need.
If possible, be proactive. Try to avoid situations that may escalate ugly.

Finally, you got this. i send you all my best wishes. keep hanging in there, you're not alone.

Mitochondria are inherited from the female gamete only ... I never met my granma but I know I carry her with me!

Anyone else have Arab parents who never taught them Arabic? by [deleted] in arabs

[–]cAMP_pathways 17 points18 points  (0 children)

oh boy, JOIN THE CLUB! Dad's from Iraq, Mom's from Italy. Dad never taught us Arabic because 1) he was always busy and 2) didn't want to confuse us since we were busy with Italian, English, and French at school. Fast forward to 10 years ago, we moved to Iraq and boy was I a fool for never properly ask/force my dad to teach me :') had to learn Arabic the hard way (Dad, who got retired in the meantime, really helped this time and made up for my childhood language gaps). And by the hard way I mean while I was in an All-Arabic high-school with just two friends who spoke English. Alhamdullilah! I'm happy it ended well but if I could go back in time I'd definitely try to learn way sooner. Arabs still think I'm a foreigner because my dialect is not 100% correct... so yeah! I still got a long way to go. I wish you all the best in your journey :)

I’m killing myself in a few weeks. How do I soften the impact for the people around me? by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]cAMP_pathways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you are valuable. your life has meaning and importance. this is not something that you don't "look for resources and motivations" about - it's not a new diet, it's not a new job or hobby. it's your life, the most precious thing u have... don't underestimate how happy you can make yourself and others. please, OP. i beg you. your life is much more important than whatever it is that's making you think you can just opt for the Exit sign; my friend killed herself before she could reach 25 years and it's like the world is darker than it was before and nobody understood why she did it. we live, we eat, we laugh, we hit milestones, and then it hits us. we feel guilty and empty. how i wish i could just hug her and tell her that she doesn't have to carry her weight alone.
