So I am a Athiest, what now?

See I’m english, my mam was born in Cyprus, dad in England.. my grandma’s grandma was Romanian and there’s probably some more washes in there somewhere. Mine would be mixed genetics if makes sense. (I dunno how they would work the DNA stuff out mind)

But when would I belong? Or a person of mixed race? Earth :) for us all to share.

@Jetmoo I agree, people should be themselves. Difference in culture can be a little annoying sometimes, because what is acceptable in one can be insulting or rude in another... It take a level of wisdom and effort to be accepting and tolerating and realizing they might not meant to be insulting etc... Thus, in general its easier to be with people of similar culture. I do agree that seeing a lot of cultures is interesting, eye opening, and even make us all more understanding and wiser... Humans usually chose the easier and familiar route.

I agree, I think it spreads out further than just culture however. It spreads through all the different social groups, larger and smaller.

But some cultures are rather mixed too so it’s hard to really separate people into groups. There was a thing done where they extracted the DNA from multiple people. One hated Germans in particular. Another hated another country and so on. And when DNA came back, they had so much % from multiple different countries, the one who hated Germans actually was a certain % German origins. And same with the others.

When everything becomes so mixed it’s hard to place them into any one group. People are really individuals who don’t need to fit into groups.

But when language is concerned I kinda understand that misunderstandings can occur from those differences when they are not aware of each other’s perception.

But then having said that, we all have our own unique perceptions. Some people are more sensitive than others and might get upset more easily. Whilst others may criticise them saying they’re over sensitive and stop crying over nothing.

Where as someone more thick skinned like my dad can come across as firm sometimes, but I think it’s because he wouldn’t mind people treating him that same way. This firmness is his way of tough love sometimes. Where as I don’t always respond to tough love. I like gentle.

People try to treat others how they would like to be treated but then not everyone wants to be treated the same way.

I recently congratulated my ex for getting into paramedic training stuff and he unfriended me online so I can’t speak to him anymore.

On the whole, people are very complex.

People often do choose the easier and familiar route, you’re right.

People don’t always want to welcome new people into their social groups either and reject them.

I don’t understand those people who love a good old fight aswell. Cheering people on to fight. I really don’t understand stuff like that. I’ve been in so many fights and seen my parents fighting as a kid and I know how it feels to be the one being surrounded by way too many people all wanting your head kicked in, I think I kinda get frightened when people fight. Like even when I was in a pub.. I feel a lot more fightened of it than some other people. It upsets me seeing people fight cos I know what it’s like to be on receiving end of it.

I think that it’s because I have been so unaccepted and rejected, that I take extra effort not to make others feel same way.

(Sorry if repeating myself)

See I guess I’m different, I make extra effort to try and understand different peoples perspectives. I have a friend who has bi polar so I joined a group of people who had bi polar so I could learn more about what he goes through. And a weight loss one for big people, even though I’m not big, I wanted to learn stuff so I could be supportive of a friend who used to be rather big. Biggest heart though ❤️

I kinda like watching and seeing what it is like to be other people.

Do many people don’t make much sense, but I don’t want to judge because being judged hurts.

I think it’s cos I got judged a lot growing up. I didn’t have loads of friends and I was the odd ball that people didn’t want and got bullied a lot.

I just have to be careful sometimes though, cos people like me can get taken advantage of.

When I see another oddball I’m kind of drawn to them cos I don’t want them to be alone and left out how I was.

I remember at school everyone in my pe class has air Nike trainers. I was the only one who didn’t have some. This girl said, not even in a nasty voice, but she said everyone’s got air Nike’s you should get some too. .. but I liked my own trainers. I didn’t understand why I should have the same ones as the others. I just didn’t get it.

I had a friend and when we send to secondary school, we were with more kids on our table. Not just me and the one friend. They bullied me a lot and friend did too, showing off. After a while I’d had enough and decided I’d rather go sit on my own than be with these. They even used to bad mouth each other when one wasn’t in sight. I just didn’t get it. That’s not friendship. I spent a lot of time on my own after that. But I wasn’t happy being in that group.

Even when at a sleep over with this girl and another 2 friends of hers, they started taking the mick out of one and she started getting upset and I said leave her alone. And then they turned on me including the one who I stood up for, who I barely knew.

And that small girl at school and the girl a lot older and bigger wanted to fight with her I asked the smaller one if she wanted to fight, she said no, so I held her hand and dragged her inside with me and went and got the teacher trying to prevent it. That other lass kicked me afew times but whatever. The whole school was gonna crowd around this small lass so I didn’t want that.

I don't understand why people can't agree to disagree. ??

We naturally want the world to be like us. why do you think we have pockets of black, latin, middle eastern, white, and asian communities?

But i dont want to be like other people and i dont need other people to be the same as me. I wouldn’t want people to be just like me, like a clone, that would be so annoying. Im happy to be me, unique and i want everyone to be happy being their unique selves too.

Everyone has something amazing to offer to this world.

But really the people in the other communities ARE like us cos they got ears and noses, almost exactly the same DNA and they cry when they get hurt or scared or even angry. They all got feelings the same as us. And in the end we all die just the same as each other. But even with people with different skin tones, there are people with blue eyes and some with brown, but they dont need seperate communities for different eye colour or hair colour so why do they need different communities for different pigmentation of skin? There isnt two different communities for those who war glasses and those who dont.

I mean sometimes we link having some things in common but if people were the same it would be so boring.

Its like if there was only one species on flower,tree, grass, fish, bird, mammal.. imagine if there were only daisies in the whole world and no other flowers? And all the daisies were white too? We need all different colours to make a garden beautiful and its the same with people too.

I loved it when i went to Corfu at a water park and there were french, americans, spanish, Greeks, Germans... there were so many different languages and people from other countries and people with different skin tones and..... i really liked it!

And when i gestured and said do u got the time? And pointed to the mans watch, he showed the time on it to me, he must not have spoken English but i said thank you anyway. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Smiles are universal and I really like that sort of thing.

Id rather people were their true selves and showed their true colours and encouraged others to do the same. And to help people bloom into the best versions of themselves.

I really hate how my mam waits to tell me stressful information when there's no one here to support me emotionally or to help fix the problem.

By the way mam wrote down her account of what happened over the phone with the nurse.
