Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한🦣<p>(<a href="https://c.im/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rant</span></a>) I don&#39;t like seeing posts about “toxic culture this and that”, but I&#39;ve reached the point that I can no longer deny one particular thing:</p><p>Toxic <a href="https://c.im/tags/Filipino" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Filipino</span></a> culture: You helped them when they needed help. Even though you can&#39;t, they&#39;ll beg you so you go out of your way to help them. NOW, when it is you that needs help, NOT A SINGLE ONE of those people will help you. If you beg them, they&#39;ll tell you, “You&#39;re not the only one going through this and that”.</p><p>Have they forgotten?</p><p>1. When they asked me/us for help, we helped them.<br />2. When I/we told them we really can&#39;t, they still begged, so we asked people we know so we can help them. We went out of our way.</p><p>Have they forgotten? Or, are they simply selfish, privileged, ungrateful, earthlings?</p><p>Their argument that, “you&#39;re not the only one going through this and that” is 100% invalid, because when they were in need, we went reached out to whoever and became the bridge for them.</p><p>BUT they can not do that for you when it&#39;s your turn to ask for help. They have the guts to turn you into a bad, demanding, person.</p><p>Have they forgotten?</p><p>I am not saying that all Filipinos are like that. It is probably common in other cultures as well. But, in the spirit of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ToxicCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ToxicCulture</span></a> “memes” (if we can call it that), it is a common one.</p><p>Don&#39;t get me wrong, I am Filipino, I was born, raised, and still living in the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Philippines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Philippines</span></a>. However, this is totally toxic.</p><p>I&#39;m at that point wherein I will more likely never help anyone ever again. At least not the people in my immediate vicinity. I&#39;d rather help random strangers, or some charity, who deserves to receive help far more than people who turns their backs on you after getting what they want.</p><p>To clarify, I&#39;m only referring to those I/we&#39;ve helped before, especially those where we had to find ways __for__ them to get help.</p><p>As a famous Filipino proverb goes, (rough translation) “those who don&#39;t look to where they came from, are worse than a stinking fish”. And they are indeed worse than a stinking fish.</p><p>Oh, one more thing, some of these people, I did not ask that they pay me back, some I wrote it off because I&#39;ve seen first hand what they&#39;re going through. But, the position is reversed now, and nothing from them whatsoever. They even made me feel that what I&#39;m asking them is a grave sin worthy of a death penalty. <a href="https://c.im/tags/ShameOnYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ShameOnYou</span></a></p><p>Personal file: Fifth thing I <a href="https://c.im/tags/regret" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>regret</span></a> in my life, helping people who are not strangers.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>culture</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NeverAgain" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NeverAgain</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>help</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/helping" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>helping</span></a></p>
