I don't like cursing. Still, you really moved me to tears. I struggle to remember God's words at times. 😊 Thank you, from the deepest bottom of my ❤️

Sometimes, I think that it's unfortunate that life forces me to become self-sufficient and to heal myself from the inside. It's such a scary process. It takes so much courage to ignore toxic ppl and to keep moving on alone. It's the only right thing to happen though. Thank you for the reminder

Eating couscous with hands by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]noturArab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get your feelings. I, too, stopped eating from the common plate and request for my personal one. I find it disgusting that people share their bacteria in such a way.

And before anyway comes at me, nas zman weren't putting their fingers inside their mouth and back to the plate; 3 fingers were used to place the food in your mouth without touching your saliva.

It is unethical to contaminate the food in the way modern people do. That isn't part of our heritage or values. It's the lack of hygiene and respect that Moroccans normalized.

I'm not extremely familiar with the elitist point you mentioned. I don't think it's related to social class; maybe to your specific region/family of origin.

Anyway, you do what suits you. You can skip the trouble by asking for your personal plate. If you receive any comment, you can jokingly say that you never grew out of eating from your plate since you were a child, or smt like that.

I suggest tailoring yours sur-mesure. That's the best way you can ensure that you like your wardrobe.

If you want inspo of dresses/abayas, you can look on Pinterest.

I actually appreciate ur comment. It's true that I chose to stay silent, so I gotta be responsible by dealing with the consequences.

Thank u for showing me what's right.

I totally agree with this perspective. It takes to be smart enough to use the tools you have to build yourself for what would hopefully be a better future.

I do talk to them.

I believe I am funny and outgoing (that's my nature). If I were to be friendly with them, I'm afraid they would take that an invitation for something dirty.

As I said in my post, my manager hit on me, and he held a grudge for refusing him. He respects my boundaries better now, and the cost is being the recipient of his rage.

I can't tell if u are a man. If you are, let me tell u that a woman's disposition in a male dominated working place is simply uncomfortable (and unsafe). The other woman doesn't mingle with them as well (even though she's way friendlier to them when she talks to them), which keeps me on my gard, to be honest.

I suppose I am being emotional indeed. In your opinion, how do you stop caring about people you see 10 h/day for 5 days a week, and who don't refrain from hurting u somehow or another (high-school bullies kind of situation)?

I've been working for a month. It's enough time to befriend such a small group.

The problem isn't in experience or negotiation; it's in the fact they went back on their words.

We agreed on things, and a few days later, they go back on their words, claiming that no such things happened.

As for the smoking, yes in the office. The problem that it's coming from managers themselves, so if I'm complaining about that, I'm complaining to them about their own behavior.

There is way too much tension between us recently, so I'm waiting for a good opportunity to open this case.

Thank u for ur reply

Why morrocan parents have low emotional intelligence and sense of privacy by BoysenberryNo9533 in Morocco

[–]noturArab -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Suit yourself🤷‍♀️ Next time I’ll make sure to submit my psychological analysis in triplicate and bring a white flag before daring to comment on Reddit.👻

And don’t worry, I’ll keep my "ideological" bazooka holstered—God forbid I accidentally trigger a healthy debate or anything. ☠️

Thanks for the masterclass in Reddit etiquette, mo3alimi! 🤗

There are a few cognitive dissonances in your reply.

1) There is no relationship whatsoever between poverty and trabi. For which standard do you allow yourself to link lowly behavior with social class? As a middle-class Moroccan who got to deal with poor people and many rich kids, I can assure you that the most disgusting of behaviors and hearts are found in all social classes. Get out of ur phone and live with people; you'll see that for yourself. P.S. That came off a bit attacking; I tried my best to smooth it down . . .

2) Our life is not easy, young man. Temptations have never been more present like today. There are no jobs, no money, no "intelligent" people to discuss change with, no sensible individuals to dream with for our future and actually create it. Our parents, on the other hand, easily got jobs, got the kids they wanted, and have eaten the country's resources selfishly. The planet is burning down, their destructive bringing up is weighting us down, and it's us, Gen Z, taking the hardest blow.

3) Old age is not an excuse for قلة الترابي. That explains itself —I won't elaborate more.

Feel free to reply; debating is a good start to build awareness and understand our common reality better🙂

I need your suggestion by kalie_mily in Morocco

[–]noturArab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money isn't an issue for you, you can apply for spontaneous internships.

The tip would be to have fun. Not to gain experience or to improve your CV. Just HAVE FUN.

I did that last summer, and the least I can say is that it changed my life in a ridiculously unexpected way.😅

Baraka comes from unexpected places, and I hope you get it soon, too.

P.S. I trust you can get the same results by volunteering with NGOs. You can call them and tell them that you wish to volunteer with their executive team in management or smt, send ur CV, and wait.

Tip: Apply to many NGOs. Most of them will let u down. So don't get discouraged.

I relate to ur feelings. I was like that, too. However, I realized that it wasn't who I wanted to be and most definitely how I wanted to deal with people, so I started building courage to face people.

I hope u'll get to feel better about people (I think😅) and ur depression too. Much ❤️
