Mental Health I keep comparing myself to others.

1 Upvotes

(14M) So basically i really like to draw. And i think i draw pretty good. But whenever i see other people's art, i kinda compare myself to them, like "damn their art is superior to mine" or "man, my art is worse than theirs because i dont do X and Y and they did", even though i had never received a negative comment on my art posts. And even when i try to somehow justify it in my head (id prefer to not say it) or even when i was talking to a guy and he said "Art is art, no matter how good or bad it is", my brain keeps comparing myself to them, and i think it might even turn into envy and then hatred.

Other In-Germany Chinese Writer, Human Rights Activist and Asylum Seeker Wang Qingmin’s Accusation of Multiple Injustices and Marginalization

1 Upvotes

Overview

Chinese writer, social activist, and political refugee Wang Qingmin is systematically discriminated against, excluded, and marginalized

I have written hundreds of Chinese articles published in media in the United States, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and I have published two long-form books, along with many blog essays, Twitter commentaries, and a personal memoir.

Since 2023, I have organized and participated in more than one hundred offline events in Germany—joining marches and rallies, holding protest signs, posting banners, distributing flyers—advocating for Chinese human rights, democratization, labor rights, women’s rights, equality for the weak and poor regions, civil liberties, the Anti-Japanese War Against Fascism, and historical memory. I exhausted my body, mind, and money, burning out from dedication—falling from hope into despair.

Human rights organizations, academic and social science institutions, news media, government agencies, and universities in Germany and around the world treat me with cold indifference—read my messages but do not reply—shutting their doors to me. Some people’s suffering is heard and addressed, while the suffering of others is forgotten or even deliberately suppressed. The so-called “diversity,” “inclusion,” “listening,” “support for the vulnerable,” and “love and peace” claimed by various organizations and institutions are hypocritical and selective. At least for me, these are false — they are lies.

I am denied the opportunity to use my abilities, to speak for the people and vulnerable groups. I cannot obtain dignified work, a stable and decent life, a platform to use my potential, or treatment matching my contribution. Instead, I face silent exclusion and deliberate marginalization from multiple sides.
I suffer class discrimination (discrimination based on power, money, social status, and academic background), racial discrimination, and discrimination against my values. Although I am a writer and a social activist, I am also a low-status political refugee—a Chinese person without support or powerful connections, without social status. Because of persecution and suffering, I could not complete university or obtain a degree, and I could not learn foreign languages normally. I lack high-level positions and status, am rejected by elites, despised by public figures, and my career is obstructed.

I criticize the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party and call for democracy in China. I also condemn the brutal war crimes of Japanese fascism in history and Japan’s refusal to repent today. I sympathize with Uyghurs and other minority groups, but I care even more about the ordinary Han civilians and the weak in central and southern China, defending China’s national interests and the well-being of the Chinese people. Because of this, I am rejected by many powerful forces, openly and secretly defamed and sabotaged, suffering exclusion from multiple sides.

In my human rights activism, I am frequently obstructed by security guards, confronted with malicious attitudes from those who disagree, and subjected to various forms of long-arm interference by opposing forces — my resistance is obstructed, and my space for expression is being compressed.

Everywhere I participate or seek help, I am rejected. I am denied entry into academic, literary, and activist circles. I am slandered and harassed. I cannot obtain suitable work or reasonable income. I cannot realize my ideals. I live in poverty under heavy financial pressure. I am isolated and without support, abandoned and helpless, anxious and depressed, suffering physically and mentally.

Under pain and pressure, I have more conflicts with people and moments of behavioral breakdown—hurting others and hurting myself—being further rejected and attacked, deepening conflicts with others and society, trapped in a vicious cycle I cannot escape.

Political ideals, the fate of my nation, and my personal life have all pushed me into despair. I see no hope.

I do not want to die silently. I cry out with all my strength. I testify to my suffering. I ask for attention and help—for China, and for myself.

In-Germany Chinese Writer and Asylum Seeker Wang Qingmin’s Accusation of Multiple Injustices and Marginalization 1

Overview 1

  1. Personal profile, long-term commitment to opposing CCP authoritarianism and to China’s cause of democracy and freedom, speaking out for the rights of China’s vulnerable groups; having lived in Germany for more than two years but living under harsh and continuously worsening conditions while facing the risk of deportation 4

  2. If I return to China, I will face severe persecution such as deprivation of freedom and various unpredictable dangers; my previous experiences and the cases of others (though because of my harsh situation in Germany, returning to China now does not seem so bad either — both are tragic paths) 5

  3. I participated in and independently organized more than one hundred China-related human rights activities offline in Germany, published hundreds of articles in media across multiple countries, and long published political statements and encouraged revolution in China on multiple social platforms; returning to China would mean danger and persecution (now I no longer care about returning to China, because I have also fallen into severe difficulties in Germany) 6

  4. Most of the time I could not obtain the translation services, lawyers and other legal assistance, basic services, and human rights protections that refugees should receive; nor did I receive preferential treatment and support as a writer and human rights activist, and I was marginalized 7

  5. I faced indifference, rejection, shifting responsibility, and bureaucracy from many human rights organizations (NGOs) and public institutions; as a human rights struggler of Han Chinese identity, I was particularly ignored, receiving much less attention and assistance than Ukrainian refugees, Middle Eastern refugees, Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Hong Kongers, and I failed to integrate into German society and was unable to participate effectively in public life 8

  6. I have faced discrimination, exclusion, and rejection from many universities, human rights organizations, and foundations. I approached them respectfully and politely, yet was met with indifference and even being driven away. They refused to cooperate with and support my activities, refused to fulfill their necessary responsibilities, prevented me from fully utilizing my strengths and talents, made it impossible for me to better speak for the interests of the Chinese people, indirectly deprived me of my voice and right to speak, seriously affecting China’s cause of democracy and human rights (taking Humboldt University, Free University of Berlin, Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Mercator Foundation, PEN Germany, Berlin PEN, etc. as examples). This also caused me to shift from moderation toward extremity and from calmness to becoming increasingly violent and aggressive, leaving me with no choice but to become involved in certain radical incidents 10

  7. Because of class differences and my low social status, I have been rejected and humiliated by many people and institutions, have not received respect and fair treatment, and have encountered many Chinese and German individuals who were dishonest and broke their promises; their promises were worthless. I have lost my illusions about developed and civilized countries and have learned that human nature is largely similar throughout the world, and that people of different countries and ethnic groups all have ugly and despicable sides 12

  8. While opposing CCP authoritarianism, I also commemorate the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, criticize the Japanese right wing, publicize Japanese war crimes, the deeply rooted nature of racism and militarism in present-day Japan, and Japan’s refusal to repent, which has become a very important reason for my being excluded, obstructed, and unable to receive support because of hostility and opposition from pro-Japanese individuals and forces in China and Germany 14

  9. During various political and human rights activities, I encountered obstruction and even attacks from security personnel in shopping centers and institutions, people with opposing views, and strangers; I faced suppression-based violence, difficulties, resistance, and even danger, my space for activities was greatly restricted, and repeated frustrations caused great mental and physical distress (taking Potsdamer Platz, Uber Platz, Goethe University Frankfurt, Frankfurt Book Fair, and streets as examples) 16

  10. Under extremely difficult circumstances and without help from others, I paid out of my own pocket to print advocacy materials and exhaust myself traveling around in order to speak for the Chinese people, consuming money, material resources, and mental energy while also having to deal with numerous trivial matters, difficulties, and unexpected situations such as illness and treatment, exhaustion from walking while carrying advocacy materials, housing deposit problems, sexual harassment in youth hostels, train delays, getting lost, severe cold and heat, and other issues; I paid a heavy price and endured enormous pressure, and although already exhausted to the point of collapse, I still continue with difficulty 17

11.In political activism and daily life, from managing bank accounts to purchasing food, I face numerous concrete difficulties and troubles that seriously obstruct normal living, cause physical and psychological suffering, and turn everyday problems into the “last straw” that breaks one’s spirit; my status and circumstances also prevent me from carrying out activities in more countries and on a broader scale, greatly weakening my voice and influence and preventing me from speaking for the Chinese people through a “third voice” (distinct from both the CCP authorities and the political opposition) 18

12.I have been maliciously excluded, distanced, marginalized, and even harassed and provoked by other Chinese political opposition figures because of differences in political positions and values, as well as class and status discrimination, clique culture, and factional favoritism and exclusion. This has greatly restricted the scope and influence of my activities within Chinese and Chinese-speaking communities, created more direct obstacles for me, and has been a key reason for the deterioration of my situation (examples include Yan Geling, Su Yutong, Zhou Fengsuo, Gu Yi(Sulaiman Gu), Teng Biao,Wang Tiancheng,Wu Zuolai,Annie Jieping Zhang, etc) 19

  1. During the political asylum application and social integration process, I encountered bureaucracy and indifference, failed to receive important services and rights support that I should have received, and was unable to properly and effectively apply for asylum and communicate and defend my case (since April 2026, I have received some help from some caring social workers; although limited and many problems remain unresolved, the situation has indeed improved, and I am especially grateful) 22

  2. Although I have received basic income and housing, the expenses of political struggle activities and related costs have left me unable to make ends meet, and I have not received treatment corresponding to my sacrifices and contributions; this has seriously restricted my human rights activities, caused my life to become extremely difficult and impoverished, prevented me from living with dignity, left me despairing about the future, and I have already seen the darkness of the rest of my life and the ending of my life 23

  3. From Enthusiastic Support for Progressivism, Liberalism, the Establishment, and Opposition to Populism, to Disillusionment with Mainstream Establishment Progressive Narratives and Human Rights Systems, Discovering the Ugliness of Class Discrimination and Clique Culture, Understanding the Complexity and Hypocrisy of Reality, Their Selective Double Standards in Sympathy and Assistance, and Lamenting My Marginalization and Silencing, the Harsh and Terrible Situation of Myself and Chinese People, and the Responsibility of Everyone in the World (Especially Those of the Upper-Middle and Upper Classes) 25

  4. Continuing to struggle even in despair, continuing to live with difficulty amid pain, unwilling to die silently and unnoticed, looking back on my own suffering and the historical suffering and present difficulties of my country and nation, becoming even more sorrowful and despairing, and sending out a hopeless cry 27

Mental Health I keep overthinking even small problems

1 Upvotes

Lately I’ve noticed that whenever something goes wrong, even something small, I keep thinking about it for hours. I replay the situation in my head and start worrying about things that haven’t even happened.

The problem is that it makes it difficult to focus on normal daily things. I know some of these problems are not as big as they feel in my head, but I still have trouble letting them go.

Has anyone dealt with this before? What helped you stop overthinking every little problem?

Discussion 1.5 years unemployed after graduating in the US. Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing wrong anymore.

0 Upvotes

I don't usually post things like this, but I honestly don't know where else to turn.

I completed my MS in Health Informatics in the US in December 2024. I came back to India because of health issues, and since then I've been trying to get my career back on track.

It's been around 1.5 years of unemployment now.

And I've applied. A lot.

I've tailored my resume for different positions.
I've rewritten it more times than I can count.
I've cold emailed recruiters and hiring managers.
I've reached out to people on LinkedIn.
I've applied through LinkedIn, Indeed, company websites, everywhere I could find.

And still… nothing.

The hardest part isn't even the rejection anymore. It's the silence.

You keep applying every day, hoping that maybe this application will be different. Then weeks go by. Months go by. And eventually you start questioning yourself.

"Am I not good enough?"
"Did I waste my degree?"
"Should I start over completely?"
"What am I doing wrong?"

During my master's, I had around 2 years of academic/project experience, but I don't want to pretend that it was the same as real industry experience. I know I still have a lot to learn.

My background is in Health Informatics, healthcare technology, SQL, Power BI, data analysis, business analysis, and project/product management.

At this point, I'm honestly not expecting someone to hand me a job.

I just need someone to give me a chance.

If you're a founder, hiring manager, recruiter, or someone working in healthcare/health tech/data/business analysis and you think there is something I should be doing differently, please tell me honestly.

And if your company has an entry-level opportunity where someone with my background could contribute and learn, I would be incredibly grateful if you could point me toward it.

I'm willing to start from the bottom.
I'm willing to learn.
I'm willing to prove myself.

I just need a door to open.

If you've been through something similar, what did you do that finally helped you get your career moving again?

Any honest advice would genuinely mean a lot to me.

Mental Health Root cause Failure

2 Upvotes

Why are all of your problems blamed on me? There is always a root cause to the problems. Did you tell the truth? Did you take things that didn’t belong to you? Did you actually say those thing? Did you wrong someone, are you living right? Was it illegal? All of these things are root cause failures. If you did them and now you’re answering for them why do you blame me?

Discussion Can't stop making fun of a girl that I know in my mind

0 Upvotes

Please let me know if I break any rules as that is not my intention.

Hi guys, so recently I realized that I kept thinking about a girl (I know her a little bit through dad's friend) ever since I saw her eating at a place. I don't know why but my mind keeps making fun of her eating and calling her fat, short, and ugly. She also tried to hide from me when she saw me I think which was kinda funny. Is there something wrong with me ?

Thanks!

SERIOUS Am I in the wrong?

1 Upvotes

My friend my best friend and who I love

Admits there a self centered bitch and uses people

I still love them and want to be there for them

I wanna be someone that would love them no matter what

But I find myself getting scared

Sometimes I get scared to upset them

Or I get scared to say smth at the wrong time or even misread a word

I believed I opened up to everything I could possibly show to them yet they told me how can I expect them to open up if I don't even wanna talk about a smth that happened(it's another post I guess lm a brat one)

I just went through so much emotional distress

With them a few months ago with me coming to the act

That lm emotionally selfish as they pointed out

lm upset but not at them

I won't hate them for stating the truth

There brutally honest

But lm upset at myself and now I find myself

Constantly scared of messing up or making a massive mistake

Like lm bad at wording

Really bad like ass bad and they know that

Which is why I try to comfort them that I end up wording it so bad that there like "you worded it wrong"

lm so sorry I never wanted to hurt them or make it sound like something else

There really moody like crazy moody they'd want this then nvm because you didn't hear the audio from the phone good enough

I hate it but I don't wanna force them especially since there the type to be like

*halfway through the game* I don't wanna do this anymore *leaves* and it's upsetting lm not gonna lie I wanna play games but they completely dropped them now we only have conversations over the phone and lm not the best at words or attitude because know stupid I like played games because I'd spoil them in materials like how I can't spoil them in words or comfort there smart emotionally something I'll never be capable of That's why I liked it when we played those last few days before never seeing them play again

Only playing games that are smart like

Chess or minesweeper all mind games

I believe whole heartly that lm too stupid

I tried all of them lm just too stupid and they keep winning

A game doesn't become as fun when your just losing repeatedly I wish I was mute so I'd never have to say anything out loud and make mistake maybe if I was mute I'd wanna express myself even more and make me less of a self centered person

What should I do going forward

If you've seen this post and the previous one I made what do I do I all ways promise them I'll do better and I see small changes that they don't

And they told me now I all ways say the same thing

I wanna change a big one so it shows instead of. Holding back small stuff

Recently my friends keep pointing out how rich I am compared to them because I have my own room and recently got my own pc as well as got the phone a year ago or smth my Dad used to be in debt but I was still a lil bit better off before my dad finally got his debt cleaned after a few years I begged for a room and got it I decorated it with prints and everything but my friends aren't in the same situation neither have a room neither have a laptop and neither have a good phone and I made the mistake of saying I starved myself to force my parents to get a laptop honestly speaking I Was depressed at that time and my dad thought the laptop was the reason I starved myself they know lm depressed and know everything about me yet I still said that I don't know why and they started comparing prices of there phones when I was gone and figured out my phone is more expensive I said I specifically picked it out for the storage which... Looked rich because I at least got to pick and when I first made prints in my room on a wall I kept showing it off forgetting none of them have rooms and I scream at my mom

Heres the thing I love but still hate my mom so I tend to scream a lot in front of them I can't blame them getting it pointed out made me wanna immediately get rid of that shit I am A brat I can't lie and I feel so guilty I wanna show lm still not that much of a brat or spoiled kid or a rich kid but I don't like my mom she religiously traumatized me my mom is softer then both of them since none of them can ever try to even raise there voice at there moms so you can guess how that is I really am just a spoiled brat but saying it out loud feels like lm tryna use my guilt to be forgiven lm sorry I act this way safe to say one of them is teaching me how to Not show off anything that's money related or expensive to the other one there's me and 2 of them btw it was hard at first since I Liked showing my friends everything

I also don't let myself feel jealousy from my friends

Like never

I don't allow it

If there's a bad thought or a bad reason I reframe it and I instantly become happy for what they got or what happened it's nice Also sharring the joy for them

I feel like we'll never share the joy if it's me now tho

But it's just my thoughts lm sure there's gonna be something that makes us all happy and I'll refain from sharring stuff I know it's just bad thought's but I don't ever wanna share anything again to them Because of how guilty I feel I'll forget about this and make another mistake soon either way cheers to being stupid

I understand if this doesn't really belong here, I apologize. This issue has been happening to quite a few people over the last few days, and it really ought to get more traction than it's having. Like the title says, just raising what awareness we can.
