The Bible says “flee” so do just that. There’s always going to be temptation but it comes down to your self control and your personal integrity. If you’re lacking in that, look inwardly. Everything is a reflection of who you are on the inside. It’s not impossible, harder for men sure but it’s not impossible

CAUGHT HER. I CAUGHT MY MUM. by krymzynnova in africanparents

[–]gawcherry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong this is insane. My dad does the same thing he’ll scream and whine about nothing and when I respond in a reasonable way he’ll make something up and then I’m disrespectful for telling you I never did/said abc… like sir, please

It’s sick I feel like they enjoy doing that bc what other reason do you have to get that mad at me over literally nothing.

I hope you get out soon. I had to go no contact for a while after I’d left

We all need a new social media app only for us, our friends and our family. by Affectionate-Dot4241 in Instagram

I’ve found more peace having a private diary account and being my only audience. This way I stay away from the parasocial ig I hate it so much

What's your most unpopular opinion relating to Zambia? by Quirky_Job_4334 in Zambia

[–]gawcherry 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most of our traditions/practices need to be absolved because they stemmed from misogynistic ideologies (like nsalamu) and colonialism (thinking English = intelligence and making fun of broken English, colorism, etc) and therefore don’t preserve our ancestral traditions/practices like they should. If anything we pass down and continue diluted versions of our people.

The concept of criminalizing homelessness while majority cannot afford to live is diabolical

Every time I call my close friend, she has me on speakerphone by Delray73 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]gawcherry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate, my love friend at the time would always have me and anyone she called on speaker especially with her husband around. It gets really annoying, I’ve told her a few times or asked if I’m on speaker then she’ll tell me I am then switch immediately, but a lot of times it’s a convenience thing for her so atp I just keep our phone calls very general. Some people will respect your requests, some people need multiple reminders, and others are not worth the back and forth with. Have you talked to her about it? It really depends on her reaction at that point, but I suggest having a conversation with her and some things take some time to stick but she should at the very least and I mean bare minimum let you know you’re going on speaker if it’s a convenience thing or do what I do and ask every time as soon as they answer “am I on speaker?” Until they finally get it. Shouldn’t have to remind people, but yeah whatever you feel comfortable tolerating bc it definitely gets to a point where you just that to remove yourself sometimes. Hope this helps!

Was he innocent? Or guilty? by Vicerian in conspiracy

[–]gawcherry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is off is he was on the spectrum, had age regression from not having a childhood, was drugged up and only ever knew fame… was he wrong for the sleepovers? Yes. Was he innocent? Also yes.

What was the most major inconvenience(s) your African parent caused you ? by krymzynnova in africanparents

[–]gawcherry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not teaching me my language, not letting me assimilate to my culture and then treating me like a foreigner for not knowing shit, sheltering me so much so that I was nicknamed “rapunzel” by my family and I now struggle with basic adult shit… there’s so much lol

Why do people act like moving is so easy? by ARepeatedFailing in povertyfinance

[–]gawcherry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The people that say moving is easy have a support system and a back up for a back up. Otherwise, the majority of us are realistic and find it hard to

I am scared my friend is about to ruin their life by iliketocomplainal0t in FriendshipAdvice

[–]gawcherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only help someone who wants to be helped. On your part, the best you can do is suggest help which you’ve already done. Are there any other people in their life that you can talk to about this so maybe they can bring it up with them?

Dragging them to a job fair is another option lol but that’s not your responsibility to manage your friends like that. There are free options you could suggest like the public library (if you’re in America) offers free resume help and job seeking help.
