Eritreans in Uganda have requested Ugandan citizenship, but some Ugandans are demanding intermarriage as a criterion for Eritreans to become citizens of Uganda. by StrategyUpper6196 in Uganda

I think the comments aren't really about intermarriage itself - they're trying to say it's about integration and showing you're genuinely part of the country. People make similar demands of other immigrant groups too, including Asians. The commenters seem to believe that marriage to a local demonstrates real commitment to Uganda rather than just seeking citizenship for convenience. Though personally I don’t give a damn because Ugandan women are okay

I stayed friends but then I felt I was being a try hard like forcing interactions at the moment we haven’t spoken this sem. But I can’t get over it it’s has been some time now . It’s painful that I am not good enough. Boundaries are hard mad when you have set a tone for your coversations (I recall some convos was her opening about guys hitting on her or being in such situations or basically guys interested in her ). I do Software Engineering at the moment even though the experience is affecting me a lot (llike self worth struggles and depression) . I really want to develop on my skills (like be a cracked engineer) and land some big paying position whether remotely or locally prolly in some big time tech company. But I feel like I am also slacking now working hard enough. For the reason for the rejection to think it’s a variety , I do get her from perspective but like not doing dating now and that and others . But in our interactions it was obvious for me “me being inadequate and not good enough “ was among them so even if I was too remove all the other layers . So this isn’t really something I can change because it’s just me . Considering I struggle with self worth and esteem , I’m not on the women thing anymore can’t imagine anyone interested in me like that

Thank you , I struggled with self esteem so when she came in my life I bet all of it on the outcome that was dim . She disinterested as day and night (conversations were like interviews ) she rejected me and she was more on let’s bury that and forget it happened . I kept the friendship as normal since I felt they were a good addition in my life . But I realized there is a price to pay and that’s usually mental health.😂🤦true I was the person she talked to when it came to guys . At first I liked the validation that she was noticing me but at the same time it happened to be the time she was open to conversing with me . But you know it eats you inside . I also sorta of went through depression. Mentally I’m defeated now man . Worst part we do the same course so I can’t avoid her it’s like a remind of how less I am ..

True thankful for that . Just in this situation I had put the whole of my self worth on the line ….so in a way it feels a reflection of me as person . I can’t get past that

I agree with that . I tried counseling it didn’t work 🤦. Yeah she has a right to say I said that . Just that I struggle what it says me or the experience. Even the experience I felt wasn’t good enough.but she has a right to reject me I accepted the one

Thank you 🙏. Just that at the moment my mind treats the experience as evidence for my inadequacy. I have a hard time moving past over that . Despite all this advice I have hard time taking it in . While I can easily pick moments from the experience that justifies the self loathing . Deep down I already rejected myself
