Religiously Sheltered Member and Jollibee

When I was younger, as a joke, I made a Jollibee altar. 1 Jollibee toy, candle, and a bag of yum burger and showed it to a younger teen who cried because it frightened her that it looks like pagan worship.

She ran to her mom like a crybaby and her mom had to scold me.

Seriously, what kind of fear have they instilled in the youth to cry over such trivial things outside their religion?

Someone pass the Ube macapuno freeze please.

Ranchers, language, communication

I do not come from a ranching background, but I do know that ranchers have a certain way of communicating with eachother that blunt, concise, and often a little crass.

How would someone who speaks formally be able to interact with someone who uses a different way of speaking?

Example: I find your efforts fascinating and fortituous.

Rancher: I think you work well.

Person: Dear Mr. M. I admired your efforts last week at the competition, I am looking forward to seeing you excel in the next one.

Rancher: Dear John, you were doing great last week. I hope to see you do your best in the next competition.

I did not know we could screenshot on laptop until now. Thanks gatekeepers

I have only known a few shortcut keys but this shit could've been helpful in 2010s. You could screenshot using windows button + Prtscrn (printscreen).

Thanks gatekeeping a-holes and a teacher who failed to mention that, I had no evidence to give when I was texted with harassment.

The 24 year old adult who knew sexual harassment - Scandalous

Once upon a time I was 24 years old years ago and I lost my temper when a group of girls treated the entire incident I undergone IN FRONT of them as a flirtatious engagement from a guy who tried to lay his hands on me and kiss me.

I was brought to the office and I erupted about sexual harassment policy and I told those girls who were in their teens if they knew what sexual harassment was. They nervously refused to answer. I went into a lengthy speech of how these teen girls don't know what it is and one of them started to cry.

The adult who sat with them was horrified that I knew of that. I proceeded to tell them that I was 24 went to school and watched crime documentaries and the news. How can I not know of it? She still acted like I was saying something vulgar.

Seriously, how sheltered were the women in their 20s in the 2010s. People have kept me ignorant about certain things but I at least know of crime

Shadow Work and cultural hatred?

I am from Filipino descent and adult female. I have a grudge against my culture especially with how they raised females to be sheltered and unable to function in the real world and understand certain things. It is aggravating to be the recipient of this and being inconvenienced by women who are clueless. In order to understand this shadow work and tremendously conflicting derision we have to section off certain aspects.

The 15 Year Old Filipina

She is only 15 and has lived in the states for a lifetime but still speaks with an accent and carries herself like an 8 year old. She goes to school, learns to read and write, but still looks at the environment around her like she is trying to understand it.

She arrives at a Dollar Tree store, her eyes are everywhere as if she is unable to figure out what certain items are. There are hair rollers which she has never seen, foldable boxes that are strange, and products for the skin.

She starts becoming nervous and asks an employee with a childish timbre. Um....what is that? *she points to something* the employee explains and then goes back to work. She follows him closely seeing if he/she can guide them almost a little too closely and asks the same thing and points 2 more times before the employee snapped.

She is hurt by this and tries to hold back some tears. She wanders off trying to look at everything not knowing what anything is before being screamed at and kicked out.

There are other scenarios i had of her just shutting down and looking sad when we ask her to do the dishes and she goes silent angering the older Filipina at her refusal.

The Older Filipina

Had to scrub, work, maintain things, try to find nuances to have some freedom to enjoy life. Tries to be protective of the younger one but the indecisive and often helpless mentality makes it extremely difficult to manage.

Overworked, angry, frustrated at her sister's unreasonable stubbornness to at least pick up after herself. It all boils down to hating incompetence or those who choose to be lazy.

The Guide

Forged or fueled by the very unforgiving circumstances and disorienting nature of the world. The Guide Points and explains to the younger one what is and shows how it's done. Never pushing but giving allowance to figure things out. Like being given a simple map. They soothe the frustration of the elder sister reminding her of her own rest and development while encouraging the younger to explore certain avenues until ready

I have no ideas if my memories are true.

Currently I recall a memory with a Filipina woman and her boyfriend causing me massive inconvenience in my college days. I firmly believe that.

Now there are memories of a field trip in high school to a ranch where the ranchers were fucking a-holes and held me hostage in their office room to interrogate me about an item they pretended to accuse me of stealing, just so these sadistic can fucking make me squirm and cry.

I remember picking up a rope like item that someone dropped and brought it over to someone but they dragged me to the office. Its a bit muddy afterwards but ever since 2025 my hatred for ranchers and farmers began to fester after remembering certain memories

Baneful Magic Valid?

This combines, vampirism, alchemizing, and punishment. I am pondering if I should use it against a privileged person who had looked down on me:

I rob you of your success, your joyful ventures, supporters, and other privileges and convert it into my own blessings of good fortune and blissful ventures as lesson for you. You will know what it is like to live without and struggle to endure with little to no people or things to provide answers or hope. Until (said time date) you will struggle. This energy is mine

Was I wrong to not stay quiet?

This is a very blurry memory, but I do distinctly remember a time several years ago when a visiting minister came to our locale.

During his introduction he had said something inappropriate to one of the younger female members up in the choir podium, of course the females weren't really paying attention.

I said to him civilly, "Remember brother you are in America, you better be careful with what you say to them or you'll be in trouble."

This guy instantly became enraged and began to scold me, I held my ground. I told him he is a visitor and we're not afraid to call you out for his behavior.

Something about deacons we're brought up and their wives but I told him the women were not going tolerate him.

One of the deaconess conceded then said "No we're not going to do that brother."

This later concluded at the office with the other females he made a weird remark to looking disappointed in me for being "disrespectful".

I then replied if they had heard what he said and they stayed quiet.

Should I just have stayed quiet to avoid the entire thing?

I survived the 2010s and the crazies

Where do I even begin?

Crazy lady on the train screaming at me "I'm not stealing anything!" and trying to attack me for casually moving my bag to the side. Long story.

Uncle trying to S.A. me and enter my workplace.

Some Filipino dude believing he was entitled to have me upon first introduction via my Narcissistic grandmother and stalked me at work.

Women belting out internet based psychology and threat scanning because of some shallow no nuance having info she read online. Also people ready to attack be in preemptive defense.

Women who wore beautiful clothing and upon first compliment they quickly became offended that I was even talking to them in the first place and proceeded to verbally berate me in public.

More a-holes on the train. Rodeo enthusiast on the train who accused me of being a "buckle bunny" after being in awe of their fashion and physically attack me believing I was some lewd ass.

2 Japanese women who I had been walking behind in a hurry tried to "defend" themselves from me when I didn't do shit.

The list goes on and that decade was filled with distrustful hypervigilante and hostile people who believe they are acting in the name of defense

What else do you wanna know?

Life, Yu-Gi-Oh, just some hard times

I am currently 34 and suffered 2 decades of a turbulent life. Life was being screamed at, being treated as a freak before realizing I had ADHD at 27, grew up in a cult And an abusive childhood.

Yu-Gi-Oh? It's one of the things that got me by. Many times I would imagine my adventures with my own OC or a crossovers that probably would never happen and fanfiction.

I wish I could be more poetic about this, but my creative thinking plummeted as of right now.

All I had was my imagination

Self Respect? You know Nothing about it!

I have to put the NSFW button for this post cuz of some monitors

Let's be real.

We've all been there.

Crying in public, breaking down hoping someone wouldn't just abandon us, being told we're weak for begging someone to just...understand.

Then we're told this

"Have some self respect!"

That line is just....useless.

It has become a throwaway line like "look on the bright side" and "don't let it bother you."

A cliché.

Self Respect in my terms in not tolerating bullshit and knowing you deserve better. Not bleeding after someone decides to metaphorically crush your very hopes and need for connection and act like you're a pro at handling not falling apart, cuz that shit takes years to build like the damn emotional Olympics training.

Stop weaponizing self respect cliche to degrade others.

Recovering lost memories?

How do I validate these memories? I've heard of false memories and I want to be certain these events and encounters did happen.

Met awful ranchers as a teenager

I went on a field trip and gave them the worst impression due to my lack of ranch etiquette because nobody told us anything about how to behave around animals.

Met another vicious rancher in a pet store trying to defend a nasty ass old woman who bitched at me for my over the top awe of a bovine a rancher rode into the pet store. I old her don't be a bitch.

Encountered obnoxious horse riders at Walmart

I complimented their horse in awe but they just snapped at me in a nasty ass manner as they rode in like entitled ass wipes.

Had a tenant who was a toxic witch

She stayed in my grandma's home temporarily. I asked her if she can teach me witchcraft but she bitched that is something she can't teach me because I am not ready and If I wanted to I should read the bible (psalms). I didn't understand it at the time due to very little information . One time I vexed her because of something and she threatened to curse me.

Is it something my mind completely made up due to media absorption? I want to know that this is real

I lived through the 2010s as a young adult and would often ride the train or transit.

As i did this, certain type of people I've encountered created tremendous inconvenience for my life and peaceful mode of transportation.

The "I'm not stealing anything" people. I.N.S.A People.

Let me Explain.

Sometime in 2015 or 2016, before 2020, I would be riding transit. Some random passenger would be there or just getting in the train car and I would just move my bag to my lap or to my side. This random person, mostly a woman would start screaming.

"I'm not gonna steal anything!! Why did you do that!?" Leading to an absurd altercation which I am too lazy and would probably pained to describe.

What is the phenomenon behind this behavior?

I would like discuss it intellectually.
