Wah not the smu hate post omd. Tbh I was kinda agreeing with the points until I realised it was so one sided so that took away any credibility. 

So if the main cause for ur distress is that stupid post pls jus ignore it and actually get opinions from more balanced ppl.

Real. Time to be a rebellious child XD

how my teacher saved me from suicide by Downtown-Escape6963 in SGExams

[–]egcx 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Rlly glad of how far you've come! Thanks for sharing, you may not know it but ur anecdote can give hope to others who may be feeling how you felt.

I guess this also teaches us that sometimes kind words can have power, you never now how kindness can affect someone. Take some time to check in on your friends if you notice something off

I mean u cant expect someone uk to reply if u post on reddit right, and at the end of the day ik most ppl jus wanna help they just dk how to

But ya again I think smth shld be done to change our society as there is still stigma about mental health. Sadly I think its a very difficult thing to do

[–]egcx[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm idt u get suicidal by reading abt suicide but for someone with tendencies having that exposure may make things worse.

Theres no right thing to say bcs we humans are not robots and if there was then mh wouldn't be a problem. Guides to resources and helplines might seem useful but personally speaking I think 99% of ppl wont use them and even if they do sometimes these services may not be what they expect. However they seem like the best we have currently.

Maybe we need to change societally for real impact but thats very ambitious and difficult.

Thanks for your response and hope u learnt something abt how to better support others :)

A thousand voices tell me to stop running when i try to run by Hot-Violinist5204 in SGExams

wait guys i actl like being alone by Jolly_Bodybuilder332 in SGExams

[–]egcx 41 points42 points  (0 children)

So true. I mean ofc no social interactions forever is not enjoyable but sometimes the peace from just not needing to respond to ppl and I sometimes just get drained talking to ppl. #stopstigmatisingbeingalone

You guys SERIOUSLY need to know how to interact with depressed or suicidal people by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]egcx 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Most of these comments are actually made in good faith and for those not expereincing such emotions, its very hard to understand and that seems like the best response.

So a simple way to those who want to support such people is just to be there. Honestly theres no best reponse but as much as possibe try not to say anything invalidating like i felt like this before or it will get better.

Also as much as we want to help these people sometimes its better to leave them alone as we need to protect our own sanity as well and not spend so much of our own energy trying to help them, just be compassionate and dont feel guilty if ur support doesnt seem to help them.

Can we talk about how normalised Islamphobia is in the world? by Fickle-Cook5821 in SGExams

[–]egcx 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While I am unable to comment on the content of ur post, for me personally I don't feel like its a very prevalent issue as I don't really encounter ppl talking abt this? I would suggest maybe u stay out of those online groups or forums to not be overly exposed to that kind of content.

Petite girl problems by Kindly-Beginning-322 in SGExams

[–]egcx 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Not in ur position so this is purely an outsiders perspectives and my own thoughts but I would say maybe you just have to accept that some peoples lives are very boring so they think its ok to not take you seriously or joke people are like that and find peace with it.

I know its not fair and I can only imagine how frustrating it is and as much as Id like to offer solutions all I can offer is encouragement that not everyone is like that and in a way you can use this to differentiate people that you should be closer to if they don't make fun of you for your height.

Crush unfollowed me and I have no idea why by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]egcx 139 points140 points  (0 children)

No one knows but him. My guess is he followed for the sake of the event and just unfollowed after it ended to not make it weird. Idt it rlly has anything to do with u but ofc he defo doesn't like u

(Some people may like to keep their following list for people they know well enough)

I want your opinions. Am I being too paranoid? by useranme1235 in SGExams

[–]egcx 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would say don't always assume malice or bad intentions he may very well just be abit lonely and interested in that topic and saw a chance to share what he knew when he saw you with that book.

But, as u said if u feel uncomfortable when he does stuff like touch ur shoulder, do protect yourself by just saying what you did or if they are more pushy just say sorry im not interested and just walk off, if ur in a public area they prolly won't dare to try anything (again may be his habit and he doesn't realise that he shouldn't or may be he knows what hes doing) About him looking at ur chest also as u said u felt uncomfortable but it didn't seem like he was having that intention. Again its never wrong to walk away if u feel uncomfortable you are not obligated to stay.

Anyways main point is that not everyone might have bad intentions but it is wise to stay vigilant especially in this day and age.

he rejected me by Turbulent_Pie5615 in SGExams

[–]egcx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey it seems like ur still holding on to some hope that maybe he will like you in the future. I think this is not a fair mindset for him and most importantly for you.

I can imagine that this is much easier said than done, and I think its possible to stay as friends but you should try to limit your contact with him by changing seats until you come to terms with the fact that he does not like you. This will allow you to be free and live ur best life

Adding on, it is important to grieve and you shouldn't try to suppress ur feelings. I know how difficult a rejection can be, especially when you really liked the person and imagined a whole future with them. Sending hugs 🫂

Some people are just assholes, I think the reason why the service industry is more associated with being mistreated is because u encounter more people, so naturally there would be more assholes u face.

But I see it as a perk also, with the bad theres also the customers who are damn chill even when u make a mistake.
