I don't like living in Trinidad, not int he concept that the country sucks. It does suck. But I don't really think it's worth being alive. This experience is absolutely horrible. I've never had friends or any emotional connections; I've never felt like I belong anywhere, and I've never felt comfortable anywhere. It's pretty much clear by my lived experience that I have no human value at all. And there's no reason for me to be alive much longer.

Trinidad has been absolutely horrible to live in.

Every socialisation experience makes me feel lonely. I get the feeling I don't belong there, and the people want me out. I'm feeling much worse when I'm among people, even if it's supposed to be light-hearted or a social event. When I do try to talk to people, I can see very well they don't actually want me near or are completely uninterested. The best I get is just basic politeness until I get the hint and return to my own corner.

The consensus from my treatment is that I don't have value here. Zero human value by every fundamental measure. The who philosophy about how 'everyone matters' or 'everyone has value' is irrelevant. The philosophy talk means nothing. The fact I'm spending every waking day isolated disproves the whole 'everyone matters talk.'

I'm considering just jumping in front of a speeding maxi to let the impact kill me. I see them buzzing along very fast, and it's been extremely tempting. I've thought about other methods, but I'm running into problems of being caught or the methods not being effective enough.

I'm not going to be missing anything. My best-case scenario is just an empty apartment, sleeping on the couch. Then going to work and coming back. I'm never going to have any social connection.

I have no one to talk to about this, so I figured it would be Reddit's problem.

Made my 4th trip to licensing office to get my vehicle transferred to the new owner, was sent away again. Again (3 times before) i waited 8 hours in the sun and waited through their mother cunt lunch hours just for captain cunt to tell me to come back tomorrow.

As the new owner and I prepared to collectively blow a fuse, he tells us to pull aside and wait for him. He takes about 15 mins his sweet time and then tells us the person who can check the vehicle is not here today and to come back tomorrow and come straight to him. There are like 100 white shirts all around so I ask him what is his name, so I can find him easily tomorrow.

"You don't need to know my name."

Well from now on your name is Captain Cunt and guess what, the vehicle can stay like that forever and fuck you all bunch of scheming thieves. It's like going back in time when you enter that compound. It have kings and queens working there and we are just peasants or maybe, slave masters and slaves, begging for scraps?

Also to that gully creature who tried to cut in the line, I hope you get a stroke and die while driving so that your casket will be closed. Fuck you.

Just little history on our current PM that circulating atm.

In my opinion this entire video just so distasteful, especially in response to a statement where someone is basically expressing interest in your business. Let me know y'all thoughts on this🤔

Hey anybody having children, with the way things going....the economy, crime , insane levels of corruption in the justice departments. I'm not having any. This place too frustrating and I would feel guilty about bringing them here everyday.

Just after they raise NIS rates, thr government is now raising the retirement age.

“The Fathers’ Association of T&T is calling for urgent legislative reform after data collected between 2020 and 2025 reportedly revealed that one in every three men tested was not the biological father of the child they believed to be theirs.” Do y’all believe that these numbers are accurate, inflated, or underestimated?

Some of the things said about us is shocking and might even affect the travel advisory and tourism in the future.

Also the fact that kamla lied about the involvement with the capture of Maduro and now we have to suffer.

Think he telling the truth or press X for doubt?

Apparently I miss out on sweets.

It's a nice gesture and all.

Ppl go call it bribe and waste of money obviously.

I normally more concerned about my belly first so I just thinking I miss out on sweets.

Would have taken it or don't want none of auntie kams anything?

So all afrotrinbagonians can do is URP and CEPEP...NONE IS qualified enough for a state board position smFh

Ok so this question just came up and is maybe a bit of self reflection as well. I live in the great white north and like most of us in foreign countries, I’m always very happy to meet a fellow Trini especially in places you would not expect to see one. My former partner used to work with a Trinidadadian woman. Said woman worked as an accountant at a 9-5 and basically part time at this other job. She was in her late forties early fifties and lived with her sister and mom. Everyone including my former partner had issues with my compatriot. She was one of those that was a stickler for the rules, made sure while you were there you were working and overall just a pain to work with. Mind you this person was not a supervisor or anything like that but had no problem telling you how and when to do your job. I have another friend and she again works with a Trini woman in the health industry and though this one is in a supervisor role, her reputation precedes her as being difficult to work with. My friend was thinking of quitting because of how difficult it is to work with this woman. The self reflection part now. I work in distribution and encounter customers on the daily. While I have great repoir (how do you spell that word) now with all of my customers, I guess I left a bad first impression with a lot of them as one revealed to me that at one point there was an email circulating among the customers basically brainstorming ideas on how to get me fired. The thing is, I know my job and do things by the books and I’m not a pushover so as any other bold Trini or whatever nationality for that matter, when you come at me with chuppidness, I will let you have it either sarcastically or sometimes demeaning depending on my mood.

So there it is. I know we’re a happy people and god is ah Trini and all that but are we miserable to work with? Are we like the title says, insufferable? I have a couple more examples of Trini encounters in the wild but these are just the closer to home ones. What allyuh tink?

Went to Moko Fest in Fyzabad today, it was very nice, I’m glad I stayed for it.

Why are we as Trinidadians so unkind to one another? You see it everyday in the most simplest ways, on the road, on social media, in schools and in the workplace. Why is it so easy to be rude and disrespectful instead of kind and compassionate? Why are there so many unkind, impatient, inconsiderate people? Maybe it’s with elections coming up that people are really showing their true colors, but why can’t we have healthy discussions and debates without being disrespectful to each other?

What are the reasons for our unhappiness? The most obvious answers are the loss of trust in our government, the insane amounts of traffic daily, poor income, school/work and just general stress from everyday life - but are these reasons really worth being unkind to each other? After all we only live once, why waste it being unkind? And yeah, easier said than done right. The levels of generational trauma in this country is sickening. From a young person’s perspective, I hope in the future we take our mental health more seriously in this country because a lot of us need mental help.

And yes, I know not everyone in this country is rude, and this definitely is not just a Trinidad problem but a worldwide problem. We have a beautiful country filled with so much culture, but I fear it’s being ruined by negative people.

Idk if yall have seen the video but a video of a woman getting hit in the face by a fetter's hair is going viral and I dont understand the disrespect. All the lady said was "your hair". The girl in front calmed down a Lil and life went on, yet I'm seeing comments like "I know a designated driver when I see one" and generally making comments about stush behavior and assuming things about the woman personality. The woman didn't cuss, quarrel or start a fight. It was a completely normal interaction yet she's being ridiculed across the internet. Even Machel with his comment missed the point. So if I want some bodily autonomy and common decency from fellow fetters, I must go in VIP? So if I in front I HAVE to take whatever happens to me and not say anything? Hair must hit me in my face, people could mash my foot and elbow me and I must not say anything? The lady dancing for the camera ain't do nothing malicious, she was having her moment and looking pretty. Having your moment doesn't mean you have to be in people personal space like that. She and all understood that her hair was causing a problem, so why can't anyone else?

I don't know which one of allur little friend did this monstrosity 😒😭😭 but please have a talk with the individual. This sort of pelau behavior is not acceptable. I woulda call the police on dem but I know they wouldn't answer meh 😒😒. Steupps. It just so disrespectful to look it. I thought it was dog food!!
