| 2 | C-PTSD, Third World, Poverty, Studying, and wanting to be Saved.As someone else pointed out, you seem very well educated. As I've said, it's not always the educated who make it out. A cousin of mine was a talented basketball player, got scholarships, got his ticket out of poverty. He let dark memories and vanity convince him he'd already escaped. He got sloppy, and failed. Celebrated too early. Now he's back in the reservation. Your educated mind may help you find your way out. But your emtional wounds will undermine you. Your search for a mentor is only as … | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/05/23 04:14 PM |
| 2 | C-PTSD, Third World, Poverty, Studying, and wanting to be Saved.Me, personally, never let it bother me. I only started to understand how the term was misapplied to my people when an incredible teacher, a Sikh man from India was my physics teacher (and accidental botany teacher). Now that I realize it's a perjorative to my poeople, I can't be offended because the misapplied term only exemplifies white ignorance. | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/05/23 04:04 PM |
| 2 | C-PTSD, Third World, Poverty, Studying, and wanting to be Saved.Right? And I'm only vaguely aware of your culture, and trying to not let bollywood movies create a bias in my mind. I did make it out of the reservation, and now I MAKE my own jobs. I'm too independant to have a "boss". I learned psychology to find ways to empower myself and heal a lot of trauma. I became an artist to see if I could better use my existence as a medium. I've had hard times because I don't fit in the usual capitalist model and value system, but I stayed true to myself and my purpo… | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/05/23 04:02 PM |
| 2 | C-PTSD, Third World, Poverty, Studying, and wanting to be Saved.I am Native American, from a reservation. Alcoholism and suicide run rampant. Violence and abuse is common. Education is rare, healthcare even more so. We live in a legacy of extreame violence and poverty that only the truly determined can leave. Not the most talented, or educated, the most determined. | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/05/23 03:55 PM |
| 2 | C-PTSD, Third World, Poverty, Studying, and wanting to be Saved.Art. Art will teach you to make the mundane into the sacred. One man will see a worthless pile of rope, an artist will see a net, or a bag, or hammock. What others would deem trash might be an untapped resource, or medium. I found myself poor in food and funds, but rich in string and ropes, so I became a weaver to start me away from poverty. Luck is preperation meeting opportunity. What will you be prepared for? What opportunity do you need to watch for? | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/05/23 03:49 PM |
| 2 | C-PTSD, Third World, Poverty, Studying, and wanting to be Saved.While I sympathize, and truly wish that you find the kind of support that you are looking for, I would also caution you emphatically. I too came from poverty, violence, depression, and hopelessness. I too hoped that a benovelent person would find me, see my value, and help me nuture it. It set me up to be exploited, abused, and wishing for death. I never knew how much I cherished the humble existence I had until it got far worse. Empower yourself by deciding what you want. What you're willing to… | /r/MenSupportMen | 20/05/23 02:55 PM |
