hello

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE I AM A FOREIGNER IM RICH.

"can you get me food?" DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE MONEY? NO. AND WHEN I DO ITS NOT MINE, IM DOING GROCERIES FOR MY PARENTS.

"how much do you make" NOTHING. I WISH I COULD WORK BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO MORE THAN 12 HOURS A DAY EVERY DAY FOR LESS THAN 1000 A MONTH.

"you look rich" HOW??? ALL OF MY CLOTHES ARE AT LEAST 3 YEARS OLD AND ARE ALMOST WORN OUT.

IM SO F ING TIRED OF THIS. is there a way to explain that i am NOT rich to someone who keeps insisting that i am rich???

edit i meant to say that i am a foreigner. i might be part ghanaian (according to my mom) but i don't really look like it because im mixed with other aftican decent. im also part indian and native american (aka native indian) so that's probably how i look different

i didn't finish school (depression that almost led to suicide) and i don't think i can without money because books, pencils, etc are expensive here.

no one will hire me. ive tried mini marts, gas stations, and some people who have their little business on the side of the road. they all say either finish school or be their prostitute... and i wish i could go the finish school route but my parents aren't taking me seriously when i say i want to do night school while working for them.

i was thinking of becoming famous on yt or reddit, maybe by exploring and documenting it. or be like others who make ai vids and post it on tiktok.

i have no skill, i can't always go out (cause i still live under my parents roof so i don't always make my own choices. i still get my phone taken away), and the best i can do is post at 3-5 times a week if im gonna do social media.

also broke as hell and don't have a laptop, those cost at least 3k where i am.or, if someone wants to hire me for an online job then sure, i will do anything but i don't have cashapp or credit/debit card so i'll accept payments through tapsend, even if it's 1 usd an hour.

If i go to an abandoned kfc building i wanna steal the letters. Maybe find more buildings and sell them on ebay to some rich idiot for 10k+

i saw it on tv and thought "yea, those don't exist. who the hell just adds hair to hair?" because my hair was naturally super long, almost to my butt (i cut it when i was 12 but still thought wigs and weaves only existed on tv btw...). but when i was 15, i went to an outdoor hair salon and saw what was going on. saw a lady with almost no hair get hair extensions and thought about it. i was thinking "holy shit, they DO exist..." and idk what happened after that, it's pretty embarrassing. i can't remember if i learned that wigs exist before or after i saw a weave for the first time, cause I learned wigs exist when i watched a lady on tiktok put one on

I thought that one day, I'll get some land and build a small home that feels like home. Get the stuff that I think would make me happy here.

I have no friends. No real friends, in my opinion. They say they're my friends but they're always asking me for money, food, and jewelery because they think I'm rich, and laugh at me because I say no and sometimes it's not my money, i'm going out to get stuff for my family. I'm broke as hell and still ask my parents for money. I had no friends either back then but I was still happy because I was comfortable in that house.

I plan to save up enough to go to accra or kumasi or somewhere fun that has a hotel near a mall. Just to take a breather and see what it's like not being in the house all day or knowing what every corner that i turn has here in mankessim.

It's not because I didn't want to come back to ghana, it's where I am now. I can't remember where it was but back then it had so much places for me to go to for fun even though it was in the countryside. I was upset coming back because i knew here wouldn't be as fun as there.

I'm already aware of the creeps out at night, but there's a lot of women around seling fried indomie and rice. I'll stay around those corners so I don't get kidnapped or hurt.

​

All I'm doing is just going out for a walk, enjoying the not so busy night and see what it's like when most of mankessim is asleep. And maybe make friends with foreigners like me.

​

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Thursday night, I went out to get some snacks because I was going to stay up late.

There was a guy that I kept following me around, but was wearing a black jacket.

I didn't think much because yea, there's dumbasses that wear all black in the night.

I was walking up the hill that led to the street where i lived, and my gut told me to turn around.

Looked back and saw him, and something told me to keep my eye on him.

I stayed in areas where people could see me, even made a few turns and he was still there, maybe 10 feet away.

I started walking faster, and I think he knew that I noticed him.

I didn't see his face, I wish I did so I could ask who he was the next day in broad daylight (I'm not racist, I am black myself. he was darker than me though).

Then i made the dumbass mistake of turning into my street.

My street is kinda middle class, the fences are brick walls, and i saw him standing at the wall at the beginning of the street.

Then he started calling my name, so i kept walking until I couldn't see him.

I picked up a sharp-ish rock and started walking back because my house is the second one at the beginning of the street, but he wasn't there anymore.

So I walked around, checked, and made sure he wasn't there and then went inside.

I wish there was cameras, cause then i could've reported him, but cameras are expensive here.

Since then i started looking for someone with the same jacket; just black, but there was some white designs on it.

I couldn't see it probably so i just told myself to keep it in mind.

Only talking about it now because an old man tonight, a guy was asking about me.

I asked him if it was that jacket, and he said yes, but he couldn't see the face.

I can't access their account right now, but I had a photo of chocolate ice cream and dark chocolate in a sub, and found another photo on another reddit user's account. There was also some photos that I had taken on discord, but the reddit user also used those here.

Or was I blocked? I checked the post again early and the account said [deleted]

I have a foreign (online) friend that wants to send me money, but I don't want to include my personal details. I have an MTN sim, can I use the phone number only instead of my full name?

One of my aunts sent me money through tapsend but she needed my full name in order to send it.

Edit: hey! i was doxxed when i was younger because I was a dumbass that didn't take online safety seriously! Also one time i pissed of an online friend, and he doxxed me even though I trusted him to know my full name

I'm the explorer type, but I mostly go out at night for the thrill😍

The market is public (no gates when it's closed at night if that info is needed), same with the abandoned building that makes me tweak out whenever I think of exploring it.

Edit: MY DREADS GOT NTHN TO DO WITH IT LMAO, IVE SEEN GHANAIANS WITH DREADS???

i look like an idiot posting 2 insta accounts smh...

edit: nvm found it now i look even more stupid
