I had been watching some old Indian movies yesterday. And I felt slightly better. They were peaceful, less noise and I'm sensitive to noise and sounds. https://youtu.be/PEPyOViG9-Q https://youtu.be/VC6xTwEKQ_g

I wasn't bashing Muslims on the thread. Saying that we shouldn't generalize against all Hindus is not Muslim bashing.. -

I don't see this reaction as immature. It will be very biased of a feminist to say all men are bad, equally bad. Well if a man said that "not all men" he is not justifying anything he is simply pointing out the generalization bias. How is he wrong? Remember that we often need to be cautioned about our biases while describing our problems. Problems can be discussed without generalization bias. -

@bejapuskas I never said that India should stay Hindu. All I was saying is that tension exists on both sides and there should not be demonization of all Hindus. That's all. If I make a thread on Islamic Terrorism you don't want me to portray all Muslims as terrorists, do you? If some Hindus are bad, does it mean all Hindus are bad? Answer that first. -
Always remember this.. Always remember this.

I didn't take attacks on Modi personally at all. What I took personally is the general portrayal of Hindus. If someone comes and says all white people are racist, that would definitely hurt since that's not the truth. Only blame those who do wrong things. I as a Hindu is not responsible for the ignorant actions of another Hindu just like a peaceful Muslim is not responsible for the actions of a Muslim terrorist. I didn't do those attacks on Muslim groups. Those who do wrong blame only them but don't drag everyone with it. The only reason I took it personally is because someone said that they are getting a bad impression of Hindus, that's very discriminatory. It shouldn't have to be framed this way. Just because there are racial tensions in America doesn't make Americans bad people. Yes Indian textbooks do not include Assamese history. It's not that I'm ignoring Islamophobia, it's that I'm not ready to accept that Islamophobia exists. At least in my perspective it doesn't exist. Why? Because I see bias on both sides. Whenever there is a fight both parties are involved. If there is tension, it is mutual. A few videos on Muslims being victims is not going to convince me because I don't look at it with such a myopic lens. I look at the broader picture and in the broader picture I see both parties being involved in the fight. It's not one sided. Both are intolerant of each other and that's why I called it a power struggle. Here it's not about being biased. I'm keeping it neutral because I don't see it as a one sided thing. I know the sentiment of Hindus and this sentiment is not completely invalid since they fear Muslim groups. And you can't call that fear Islamophobia. Every culture has a fear of losing their identity or culture. It's a primal fear. It's not unethical to have this fear. It's tribalism but tribalism exists in almost every culture and country to a certain extent. So if a few Americans created groups to secure American cultural identity I wouldn't call them racist or phobic because that's how they lived, that was their culture or identity, if they want to secure it, that's not unethical, they want their way of life. Power struggles exist in every human race and culture. Welcome to human survival. You simply cannot expect it to just evaporate. In fact even at the highest level of human development, I don't see it going away. I wasn't justifying Islamophobia, I know that Islamophobia exists but so does racism. I was only pointing out the causes behind such hate and why hate exists, it has less to do with dogma and more to do with primal fears linked to survival. -

It's fine if you don't agree with me. You're looking at it outside in and i won't have time to explain to you everything in detail. Just because a few individuals are Islamophobic doesn't mean the whole nation is Islamophobic. There is no need to demonize all Hindus. I'm not born in a dogmatic Hindu family so please don't attack. Just minorities have an opinion to express they can do so without demonizing the majority. When I talk about race relations in America, I don't go around calling every American racist. That's the difference. The actions of a few ignorant people should not be used as a generalization against the majority. -
I feel a bit weak and emotional today.

This test seems to be carefully designed to reflect core values. One of the best tests that I took so far.
-
This test is great. It's awesome. I would definitely recommend this test to anyone. An in depth layout of different values that give a good outlook on the psychological profile of an individual reflecting what they value most in life. It's helps you to understand your core values better and that is a good assessment of your attitude, mentality in general. A very accurate profiling test.

I think I have opened several threads on this issue before but it never resolves. I constantly battle with feelings of "i don't deserve this." I constantly feel unworthy. I understand that childhood abuse can cause serious changes to the psyche. But can't it be undone somehow? I grew up being called "loser" by my mother all my life. It has somehow stuck with me. I don't feel like I deserve anything in life. I reached a point of self destruction where I ate shitty food and told myself — this is okay. Anyways I don't deserve better. I am not gentle with myself. I don't take care of myself. I never feel I'm worthy.. I settle for bad things. When I was in an abusive relationship, I never questioned the bad treatment I was getting. I couldn't differentiate between respect and disrespect. I couldn't value myself. It was almost like the lines between love and abuse were blurred. I know a lot of this has to do with my upbringing. If I have money to buy something good for myself like a health product, I don't buy it because once again I think I'm not worthy of pampering myself or even basic care. When a good looking guy approached me a few years ago I told him no and rejected him because deep down I felt I wasn't worthy of him. I told him that. He was quite surprised by my response. If anything good was offered to me I wouldn't take it because I would think that there are others who deserve it better than me. When someone disrespects me, I am forced to ask myself — "where are your standards? Why are you allowing this? “ it's almost like I have normalized abuse. My mind cannot process good from bad, especially in terms of self care or self protection. I don't think of self care at all. I don't feel like doing makeup. Although I bought lipsticks and I never tried them. I wasn't like this as a teen..I had ambitions and dreams. Now I'm in my mid twenties and I seem to have given up on good things. I don't even eat healthy food. I have zero interest in upgrading my life because I allow myself to be settled for the lowest possible standards. It's like I have lost all self respect and nothing appears to be worth having or worth struggling for.. My self worth has reached the lowest. I try to simply get by. I don't even question why my life is bad. If I get bad sleep I don't question it. I don't feel the need to take care of myself. It's almost like complete self abandonment. These were the old threads.
