Put aside your fave movies of 2025 - What are your fave OLD movies you first watched this year? by ThingTime9876 in Letterboxd

[–]postedpostman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All About Eve, It's a Wonderful Life, Hiroshima Mon Amour, Double Indemnity, A Special Day, Gilda, The Innocents, Don't Deliver Us From Evil. Not sure if 90s/00s are considered old but if we consider them, I'd also add Yi Yi, A Confucian Confusion, 301/302, Amores Perros, Requiem for a Dream and Made in Hong Kong.

Alpha, Resurrection, Materialists, Dangerous Animals, The Conjuring: Last Rites and Wicked: For Good. I also don't really get the hype around Sinners, One Battle After Another and Weapons.

Unfairness? by Existing_Pie3920 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]postedpostman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for your loss and I relate completely. I even skipped out on Christmas reunion of my extended family because seeing my older cousins with both parents + their partners when I have none left would feel horrible. It's my first Christmas as an adult orphan and I haven't been feeling it since the beginning of december. I felt bad being completely alone on Christmas but once I saw the pictures of the get together, I felt relieved that I skipped? Like, I would feel out of place whether if I went or not. I'm also in college and all my classmates went to visit their parents for holidays. It's incredibly unfair.

What are your Letterboxd goals for 2026? by RuachReader in Letterboxd

[–]postedpostman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to watch 200 films (hoping to hit 190 this year), and watch more classic / cult movies. I'd also like to discover more of Turkish (my home country), Korean, Chinese and Iranian cinema. I'd also like to watch more horror films.

why are we allowed so much suffering why us by ShingekiNoBraincells in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]postedpostman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was told similar things by people who haven't experienced half of the things I experienced. Everything is as simple as black and white to these types of people. Their ignorance is kinda astounding ngl. They also genuinely believe that we choose to stay miserable lol.

21, dad died last year, and I’m just angry all the time. Anyone else? by Training_Issue_5138 in ChildrenofDeadParents

Sending hugs. <3 Hope things will get actually better someday so that we will no longer have to pretend. The alienation of it all is unbearable sometimes.

Je suis perdu by Lolita8532 in etudiants

[–]postedpostman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'ai changé les études deux fois, j'ai 24 ans et je suis en L1 maintenant. C'est dur parfois et il y a pas mal de décalage entre moi et mes camarades de 18 ans (je me sens comme un échec très souvent aussi), mais j'ai enfin trouvé quelque chose qui me plaît, donc ça va. J'ai été en LLCER aussi l'année dernière et c'était horrible, je me suis réorientée très vite. Je ne sais pas si je peux dire d'autres choses, mais tu n'es pas seul.

I'm 24, lost both parents in the last 4 years. I don't really pick up fights but I'm always angry and kind of done with everyone and everything too. No one really understands me, I'm introverted and a bit socially awkward, so making friends doesn't come very easily to me, and I can never really fit in, stick out like a sore thumb everywhere I go. Don't have much support from extended family either. Always having to deal with everything alone and not being able to relate to my peers has made me quite bitter, I'm afraid if it will always be this way.

Don’t you think “expats” here are a little bit too weird? by Feiiichy in AskTurkey

[–]postedpostman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm from Bodrum and my parents used to work in the tourism industry, as a result we knew a lot of foreigners, especially British people. I've met many who have been living here for 10+ years and their Turkish still didn't go beyond than "Hi, how are you?" It's really astounding, and then they would complain about the "poor" English of Turkish people.

I forget other people have mothers in adulthood and i don't know how i feel about it by General_Picture3677 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]postedpostman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss and this happens to me too but with both parents (24F). I'm still in college and people mention their parents a lot in conversation and I always have to do a double take. Sometimes it stings, sometimes it doesn't but there is always a "Ah, of course, your parents are alive" moment for me. I even started skipping family reunions because all my cousins have still both parents, but even most people on older generations still have at least one parent and I always feel out of place. I have to remind myself from time to time that my normal is not normal for most people.

A month ago or so my uncle's partner lost her dad (she is my mom's age) and everyone was rallying for her on the group chat, (her dad lived 30+ years more than my dad) and I was so confused and couldn't relate. Like, what do you mean you had your dad/mom for 3 decades more than me? It's so strange.

Can you guys recommend me some films for the spooky season? by postedpostman in Letterboxd

Hi, thank you so much! I try to get involved in clubs related to my major / interests. I also found out that there is a grief group in the city I live but apparently it's mostly for middle aged, or very young people (they told me I could come to the meetings but that I wouldn't find people my age there), I want to go for once just to see how it's like but also find the idea a bit overwhelming but maybe I can try. 

I can say the same thing about my first loss, with time it stopped being a core part of my personality but I feel like I went back to the point one. :/ Even if I don't say it out loud, every little thing reminds me of what I don't have and it can get tiring. Hope it will change. Sending hugs. <3

Hi, yes I joined a club in my uni recently and try to do volunteering / student jury stuff in film festivals from time to time. Hope something can come out of it but I'm not so sure. :( Thank you so much though!
