For a bit of context, I am an ex muslim Arab woman living in Europe. I've been atheist for nearly a decade now. I obviously don't wear a hijab and in general dress much like everyone else.

I've noticed that a lot of the people who know me and know I'm atheist still treat me like a Muslim. For example, a coworker of mine gifted everyone a bottle of wine but not me cause "you're Muslim" even tho I told them I am not, another coworker said it is weird how "you guys don't eat pork" and when I told him I do he looked shocked. I have had countless people ask me why I don't dress conservative, I say I am not Muslim anymore, they just go "That feels Haram" and they -mostly- weren't edgy about it either.

I have tons more interactions like these but they were rather negative so I won't write them down here so the post doesn't get taken down.

To all the Muslims who live in western countries here or have western friends, do you feel like this is true? Or is it just specifically for Arabs (because we're associated with Islam)?

I am a 21 year old woman and for the whole of my life (including my literal childhood) I was never good enough for someone, my friend back in school dumped me for another friend group and they all ended up bullying me to the point I stopped going to school. I graduated highschool and fast forward to college, I have a "friend group" who don't even consider me as a friend, they made a group chat without me and they literally showed it to my face. I have always sucked at making friends it's like every woman I talk to and try to befriend hates me.

I am not mean either, everyone I meet says I am nice to them and they even ask for my help when they're going through a crisis, I have been there for everyone but no one cares to even listen to me

To add insult to the injury, I had one boyfriend who ended up cheating on me, he didn't even properly break up he just blocked me on everything and I found out he got a new GF when a mutual friend sent me a screenshot of his anniversary post and in the caption he even wrote a racist remark against me.

I tried to make friends on the internet but failed because most people are either creepy or just not interested, tried to find friends through hobbies but it was the same.

I feel like I'll never be accepted ever, I am too different for most people in my country because I am a religious minority but also I am too different for people in other countries because of my ethnicity.

Yo people, currently on episode 3 season 1and I'm invested af in the show, I got a watch party Website thingie going on so we don't have to share any outside contact info (unless you personally want to idk)

Send your ASL tho and especially location to tell the time zone. Okay byeee for now

I want a non fiction book about how to become better at socializing and make friends but I want a book that is actually effective based on your personal (or someone else's) experience.

I've looked all over the internet and all the social books are praised in a LinkedIn manner (if y'know what I mean) so the personal experience part is important

اختي الصغيرة معندهاش صحاب خاااالص كان عندها ايام المدرسة لكن من اول ما دخلت الكلية و هي في انعزال تام قولتلها تحاول تعمل صحاب من الكلية و كدا بس هي رافضة و بتقول أن مفيش حد شبهها و مش بتعرف تفتح مواضيع و اصلك مش عارف البنات التعامل معاهم بيبقي صعب ازاي و مليون سبب غيره اشتركت في الجيم و معملتش هناك أي صحاب اشتركت في كورس الماني و معظم الي هناك شباب. هل البنات فعلا صعب يلاقوا صحاب ولا اختي فيها مشكلة؟
