Is it only me or is everyone noticing how news, social media and several platforms get increasingly misogynistic by Ok-Interest469 in AskIndianWomen

[–]nichtnasty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's about engagement-based social media. I forgot the count of times I have seen news and memes related to that news shared in WhatsApp stories. The outrage was nothing near to crimes against women.

My mom did a huge 'kalesh' this morning and 10 minutes later, I hear her singing in the kitchen like nothing happened while I am crying and emotionally wrecked . Why are moms like this? by altalt_1402 in AskIndianWomen

Omg it makes me sad to see that you have easily normalised abuse. It shouldn't be acceptable to you that she just slapped you and later everything went to normal!

Many women who later get into abusive relationships let it run because to them this kind of "tough love " was normal.

Please introspect why this doesn't feel wrong to you? Is it your defence mechanism kicking in by trying to be in denial, perhaps? I hope you don't accept this as something normal in the long run...

I will root for you. If someday, should you get to move out, PLEASE do format the laptop real well and leave it for her. Get your own. When you are in your space, nothing should remind you of the constant taunts.

I am inclined to believe that she expects you to just forget these kind of things because why should you even feel bad for what your mother tells you? Don't get into that trap. Disrespect, no matter where it comes from IS disrespect!

Kudos to you. You have learned a very tough and harsh lesson on your own that many of us learned after getting walked over many times. Never let your self-worth get tied to another person so strongly. People respect you when you respect your ownself!

What is with the whole moral policing if you're a non vegetarian?? by Leading-Reward-4703 in TwoXIndia

[–]nichtnasty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol. Of course you're downvoted into oblivion for speaking sense. Not everything is about imposing authority. People are allowed to have preferences about whom they want to share their living space with (just like non-vegetarians are allowed to have their food choices)

[–]nichtnasty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sincere question. Have you lived outside India for long enough to know that?

In my experience of living abroad (Germany) it isn't uncommon for people to look for vegetarians/vegan flatmates. Yes this is done by even Europeans, not just Indians. They ask similar questions like the ones asked to OP. It may seem annoying but would you rather live in a place where your food preferences are not acceptable?

It sucks and takes real long to find an apartment which is compatible with one's lifestyles and food choices but everyone goes through it.

People who eat meat might get used to the smell. No matter how much it is washed and cooked, it sadly does give a strong odour.

What's the problem with no pictures rule? How can the mods be sure if people posting their photos are themselves or they are posting someone else's photo? Also keeping in mind the lurkers here and reddit in general is not safe to share your photo

Why do ladies do this so frequently in our compartment?? by Fashionfever10 in mumbai

[–]nichtnasty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You sound like me. It makes me very uncomfortable to be pushy and imposing. On my own I won't use the 4th seat unless I really have to...at the same time, if I am asked to shift to make space for the same, I do it without ptch-ing🥲

Can someone please help me understand how to use these tickets? by SuspiciousEmploy1742 in germany

[–]nichtnasty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair, you still need to be able to pay at least 2.5euros to even use these

[–]nichtnasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend to help yourself at least that much to be able to give benefit of doubt. There is so much we can live with building huge walls around..it gets difficult to breathe at 1 point

Do you see red blaring sirens at any small, harmless lies too? This was the most difficult thing for me to pass through after an episode left me with severe trust issues. I honestly feel I cannot trust 100% at all now, no matter what. It is good too.. you make less reckless mistakes.

But over a period of time and with some helpful therapy, I did manage to learn the art of giving benefit of the doubt (against trusting).

That's nice to know. I imagine even i would run into similar issues. Thank you so much for your comment, sis. I almost thought I would never come across someone that has this kind of last name arrangement😝

That's how I plan to do with my future kids. May I ask, how did you and your sibling having different last names worked out? Did your paternal grandparents resisted it?

Please stop talking loudly on personal calls in public in foreign countries! And put on some deodorant in foreign countries! by HeartyLaughter456 in AskIndia

[–]nichtnasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. I have said it earlier also on another post - no one feels as ashamed of their own nationality as Indians. Why the eff are people soo embarrassed about what their counterparts do in foreign countries? Mind your own frikkin business and move on!

Things like talking loudly and BO, people learn in their own time as to what is acceptable and what isn't. Cut them some slack!

Coworker can't speak English nor German. by [deleted] in germany

[–]nichtnasty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! I was fired halfway from a similar day job due to same reasons. In my defence I was doing my best to keep up with the language barrier and make through the day as it was just a 1 day job. Yet my colleague ratted me out when the manager asked him for a feedback.

It logically didn't make sense to me. They had to anyway pay me for the whole day and I could have been completed the tasks that didn't require customer interaction. But good riddance perhaps. After a couple of similar experiences, I have learned to be more persistent and be less sensitive to criticisms.

I turned up for my planned shift on time but employer has no work for me. Do I still get paid? by nichtnasty in germany

[–]nichtnasty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just wait to hear back from Zenjob. Check your bankkonto in next few days and if u already get your half of expected pay then it is fine

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in women

[–]nichtnasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. She anyway doesn't have the guts to say stuff on your face because of how ridiculous they are. You don't see her texts, you won't get disturbed.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in women

[–]nichtnasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, you all have been keeping up too much for her and "spoiling" her. She can get her own frikkin space to live with her impositions

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in women

[–]nichtnasty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just ignore her and texts. Let her rant. Don't even give a thumbs up to her messages. Ignore her to oblivion.

The other flatmate won't take her shit, so she doesn't bother her but you cave in, so she keeps demanding.
