Women of Mauritius, what are some beliefs about periods that you find weird or should stop existing?

Heard a bit about one should not cook achard or some types of traditional rice sweets during periods. Just a while, also heard that one should not change at someone else's place as a friend was labeled "ti-l'esprit" by a granny, whom she overheard saying. That granny also asked her if at her age she didn't know that she shouldn't do that at another person's place, which of course she didn't know. Also advising future generations better not change at someone else's place, to avoid any weird and unnecessary confrontations,🙄 when it shouldn't be.

The last one was just traumatizing to hear. So what are some other beliefs around periods in Mauritius?

Did Jill or Derrick address the China-Nepal floods which happened?

I mean they met there for the 1st time in person. I was too caught up in the news to notice what Jill or Derrick were posting about it. Did they even post something about it or they just do PR for Nepal when they are paid for it?

Also, praying for all the victims.🙏🏼😢💔

Anyone having a very combust or cazimi mercury, do you have a driving license? And how's life overall?

Combust/Cazimi mercury assemble!

Did you get your driving license? How are you at decision making? And how's life in general? For me at 32, haven't got my driving license yet and dreading to even learn how to drive. My last instructor induced panic in me. At making decisions, half the time I'm good, but mostly bad at those. And in Ketu Mahadasha, not yet Mercury AD, realised how foolish I was at making decisions or some plans never took place that now I've given up on any decision making process or making long terms ones.

Anyone who ever had deaths in the family due to accidents or suicide? How did you cope with the aftermath?

Been seeing many cases of accidents and self-unaliving, and even heard how difficult it is moving on from that unfortunate and most often, unfamiliar incident. For families having undergone those firsthand, how did you cope and how long afterwards did things get easier to accept to finally move on?

Looking for someone to who can be a Mentor in business consultancy.

So, as I'm just fed up being unemployed, actually looking for anyone who is looking for assistance in business consultancy, so I can train by them and have a mentor. Would really want to work in that field, maybe do research work and all that. I will do my best to learn.

Can't find companies offering entry level jobs in consultancy, so I decided to try my luck on here.

To those who have been to psychologists in Mauritius, how have your experience been?

Like were the psychologists professionals or you had to go to several before finding your that 1 who would understand and guide you through it?

Also, I have a parent who insists upon "accompanying" me to a psychiatrist/psychologist as "one should not go alone to the doctor". (Edit: I'm an adult)

Thinking of getting Cheap wigs: from Shein, Amazon or other sites?

I'm looking to buy long black/dark brown cheap wigs, and was thinking about maybe Shein or Amazon or other sites I could get them from. I'm not looking for hard fronts and most probably 1 with a fringe. Lace too would do.

Any suggestions?

I'm just so done with my Ketu Mahadasha and I'm just a week or so away from my Ketu-Mars AD. Feeling lonely as hell!

I don't know, been feeling lonely as hell. No one I consider close from the few people I know or consider close enough to be OK with actually consider me close. Somehow I'm the bad guy or I'm a bad person, Idk. I'm so done with trying to socialize or letting people in my life. Somehow the sibling who hates me the most might be screwing over the relations I have with friends or other relatives.

I'm so lonely, unemployed and having no one to talk to when I just want someone close to talk it all to.

Rant: why create accounts on company sites while applying for jobs?!

Why create accounts while having to apply for jobs, on top of it have "verification questions"?! It's a headache honestly?! Not even the Big 4's are that demanding with the verification questions. But still annoying with creating an account and all.

The "Easy Applies" on LinkedIn or companies where we have to upload our CVs without creating an account are way better.

Just tired of those account creations while applying for jobs, when we aren't even going to have an interview at the end of the day.

Asking someone to teach you a skill or recipe but getting taunted or gaslighted.

Ever happened when you asked a person like your mom or dad or anyone else for how to do something or how to cook a dish they know very well how to but get told that why didn't you learn by just watching them. Or why don't you learn by yourself as they did learn by themselves and that at the age you're asking you should have already know how to do or cook it? When you try to tell them you don't know hence you've asked they begin gaslighting you further and taunting you more that it turns into a fight and you're blamed for being the "crazy one"?

Anyone has any idea of how I can give my wig a little more style? My wig is a working wig.

It's a 2×5 lace wig, so the parting can't be changed. And I want to make a little modification or 2 to my wig, which is a human hair wig.

Does anyone else get enough of doing household chores on an every day basis?

Like, anyone just has had enough of all the household chores? Even the tiniest? (or is it just mom who is obsessed with doing household chores getting to my head?)

Frankly speaking those get repetitive at some point and I don't want to be stuck in a repeat mode doing the same thing.

How does conflict get resolved in a normal Mauritian household?

Do conflicts ever get solved or they stop only to get perpetuated later on, because the other person wouldn't reach a middle ground? For me, closure is important and I persist until I get it. That's like in a toxic household where good communication is nonexistent.

How about in non-toxic households? Because I want to break the cycle of wanting answers and fighting a 'wall'.

Anyone who got called out as a kid for saying that they don't like/live their mom or dad or both, by friends?

Anyone remembering the times when we were asked this famous childhood question of "do you love your mom or dad more?" and the follow up question of "what about the other parent?", to which you'd say "no" or "not so much"? And your friends and kids in your classroom would call you out if you didn't love both parents.

How did you deal with it when you were called out for not loving your parents equally? Maybe they were abusive towards you or absent in your life or abusive towards the other parent or any other reason which made you distance and not like them really. What's your take on that looking back?

And if you were the one surprised kid who didn't understand how a kid/friend could not live both their parents and have grown to understand it with time, how did your perspective change on that?
