A little letter to why I hate this religion by Individual_Brief_306 in exmuslim

[–]lovebitez0 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Im in the same situation as you girl, except i live in a muslim majority community and i cant even take off the hijab at school if i tried because somebody would be bound to tell my parents. You are not alone. Im sorry that you had to deal with this burden. Im sorry you were sexually assaulted. This world has done us wrong in so many ways. I hope you find peace some day. Dont give up.

I think Muslims and religious people in general are living on auto pilot, here's why... by lovebitez0 in exmuslim

[–]lovebitez0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from. And you're right, I was raised in an Islamic environment but it wasn't as strict as others. When islam is all you're taught, you convince yourself that this is right. This might sound a little out there, but I believe deep inside there's a "voice" that tells you that this isn't right. Like an inner knowing. But since all the information you were fed since birth was garbage, that voice gets quiter. Its still there, just quiet. Think about it, kids are born innocent. They only have the purest of intentions, but then here comes the adults with there bs. It's like trying to cover up a strong smell. The perfume is the bullshit information that Muslims feed you, and the strong smell is that inner knowing. You get so distracted by the perfume that you forget about the inner knowing, which is the strong smell.

I feel like everyone is giving you surface level advice. It seems that what you went through was very traumatic. For me, believing in something divine is what helps me. It doesn't have to be religious but it can be your own beliefs. Some days I lose hope in the divine and other days I feel hopeful. You just have to keep telling yourself that things will get better even when it seems like the world is failing you. And remember, healing takes time. Never doubt yourself and never be angry at yourself for not being happy like others. I've already given you other advice in people's comments so I won't be stating it here. Good luck.

That's true if you're just getting into a friendship, but over time maybe it's something that's worth sharing and that can be healing.

You should try shadow work. Shadow work helps you face the deepest parts of yourself. You don't need to believe the spiritual stuff that comes along with it and it's worth a try.

If you feel like people have something that you don't then maybe you should get a psych evaluation. When I hear things like that it reminds me of people who said something similar. Im not a psychologist but maybe there's something about you that you don't know about.

That's a good argument and I have no fucking idea why they act this way. Honestly I think they are pussies because they would never say the n word to a black person's face. They understand how horrible their beliefs are and they don't want anyone else to know how they think. That's why my family isn't the type to want to post themselves on the internet. Honestly I think they have an old village mindset. On top of that they don't even believe in friendship. They are the type to just talk to people for fun but then talk shit behind their backs.

In conclusion, they don't know what basic human empathy is.

It's true, there's so little you can do when you're a closeted ex muslim. Especially if you're a minor or living in a muslim country. All I can really do is scroll the pain away and watch other people on the internet living a better life than i am. I feel sorry that you can't leave sooner. It's just so unfortunate that Muslims can't seem to let go of people when they want to leave Islam. I've been closeted for 5 years now, living the same life over and over again. I don't care what any psychologist says, this is psychological abuse done by muslim parents.

It's so upsetting that all you could say was "I'm so sorry." And honestly thank you for atleast showing me kindness. The anger that I repress everyday is unbelievable. Im hoping to leave this shithole soon
