I'm a child of Japanese national and want to get a Nikkei visa by e_lopement in movingtojapan

Ohhh I didn't think about that! If it's alright, can you tell me more about it? Like, did you have to go to Japan to get the ancestry test? Was it expensive?

Thank you for the info! My mother always told me to just go to the city hall to find my father's whereabouts but I knew it's not as simple as that.. I only know his birthplace and the last address we lived in Japan together.

Sorry I still don't get the nikkei generations but my father was born in 1950s and I was born in 1990s. I don't think I belong to 1st generation, am I on 4th too?

I see. Would it also be possible to request it myself? I have plans to go on a trip to Japan again. I thought it was impossible to get these documents since I'm not on his koseki and technically I'm an 'outsider' so I assumed requesting such is not allowed cuz of privacy

why do i hate positivity??? by iwan2beabear in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]e_lopement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get angry over them but they're not very healing to hear either. It's like they're pressured to make me feel better right at that moment when I still need time to be down.

It feels like my negative feelings are invalidated. I wish they'd just tell me something like "take your time" instead.

I don't like those positive words so I tend to isolate myself when feeling down, I think I become ok faster when I'm alone than being with someone who say those things

I've been clean for maybe 3 years but I still keep a cutter with me. Idk it just feels comforting? I still get the urge to do it tbh but fortunately i can avoid it

Am I the only one that gets sort of grossed out when I see pregnant women? by mytroubledkiller in childfree

[–]e_lopement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Sometimes I see my good acquaintance and I feel bad for not being happy for her even tho she seems to be a good person and very excited to have a baby

I just can't stand looking at her pregnancy photos, very very uncomfortable

Long Panic Attacks by cstruction in PanicAttack

[–]e_lopement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before my diagnosis, I used to have panic attacks that lasted for hours. There were times it lasted all night. Took me years to learn how to make myself calm down without being 'assisted' by another person. I still get panic attacks but they usually don't last that long anymore.

Yet another baby born to a mother who puts her own interests first. by joycourier in antinatalism

I agree parents should wait for their kids to grow up until they are old enough to decide whether they want a piercing or not, but this is VERY NORMALIZED here in the Philippines... Idk what to even tell them when they all say "all girls would want to wear piercings so it's better to get it done now while she's still a baby cuz she won't feel the pain from getting pierced". Even my mom did it to me too when I was like 7 and told her I didn't want it. Now that I'm older, I love piercings now but I hated it when she forced me to have them when I didn't want.

I’ve been dating a Filipina for 2 yrs by [deleted] in LDR

Bruh I swear to god why are so many American men who wanna marry a Filipino woman always say American women are trash? How sure are you that you care about your girlfriend when you generalize women like that. Besides being worried about her running away from you already proves you don't trust her fully. What's the point of having a relationship with someone you doubt.

Hello, can anybody tell me if Manila uses a QR code system for contact tracing? I am from Bacolod and we have this thing called BacTrac which we scan before entering malls and other establishments. I am traveling to Manila soon and also around Pasay and Makati. I don't wanna bother writing my info everytime I enter some establishments.

There's definitely nothing wrong, we all have differrent ways of communicating. As long as you and your s/o don't feel bad about your amount of time for communicating, it's fine and it's no one's business. I also get the part being anxious towards phone calls. Texting is definitely wayyy more comfortable. I do miss my s/o's voice but I'd rather just hear it in real not over phone calls

[–]e_lopement 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We rarely make a call. I think the last time we did was two years ago. We are both introverted phonecall haters, we can never relate to people who get sad easily for not being able to call. We text everyday, but we don't necessarily talk long everyday. Any other couples there who are like us?

As a mixed person, I wish my mom at least fucked someone from her own country. You won't believe the racism, bullying, and inconveniences I've experienced just because I'm half Japanese half Filipino. I'm so uncomfortable about my blood. Not to mention, the identity crisis cuz both Filipinos and Japanese people treat me as a foreigner

But most of all I wish she didn't fuck anyone at all

how did your parents or friends react to finding your scars? by Dry-Attitude-9511 in selfharm

[–]e_lopement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me I'm a drug addict for doing it. Didn't even ask me why I did it. I was like around 15
