I mean sometimes envision things from my parents' perspective...

and yea I kinda hate myself too ngl...

Like I can sort of "devils advocate" for both sides...

The real issue really is society...

The chain of events was:

  1. Japanese Imperialism
  2. China is a war-torn nation
  3. People are desparate... so... Communism and all that crap...
  4. Parents grew up in poverty
  5. Hukou issues discriminating against rural people (my ancestry is rural)
  6. Parents decide to leave
  7. Immigration trauma
  8. Have to learn new language...
  9. Bullying...
  10. Fear leads to Anger... and Anger leads to Hate...
  11. I remember causing a bit of trouble at school...
  12. I cried a lot...
  13. Low self esteem
  14. Identity crisis
  15. Afraid to talk to people...
  16. Covid
  17. Targeted due to racism
  18. Depression
  19. This inherited culture thst does not understand Depression
  20. Generational Trauma
  21. Here I am...

Culture sucks

Imperialism sucks

Parents suck

I suck

God sucks... (if he even exists)

God is dead, and we have killed him

In this world, it's kill, or be killed...

The End...

Eh, give yourself a little grace. Everybody sucks sometimes. No one is perfect (except God, if he exists, IDK, I believe so, but there seems to be some debate on the matter). Everybody gets into a little trouble at school. Again, nobody is perfect.

I'll also just say that depression fucking sucks. More so than everything else you've listed. All the external things can sometimes be handled, but depression is a pit that just drags you down. Struggling with problems that are objectively simple to resolve? Doesn't matter, pit of despair. It's not fun at all :(

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
