I have a decent a salary and an amazing girlfriend but shes going to work bera and we will end this soon cuz it’s going to be impossible because my work doesn’t allow me to travel or live abroad it’s like being chained but that’s okay
I cannot stand the criticism of ppl at work the environment the lack of professionalism the moroccan mentality with all the 7sed 79ed and narrow mentality in my workspace

I don't feel like I belong anywhere, even in my own country
I’m Moroccan, but lately, I’ve been feeling like I just don’t fit into the society I was born into. It’s exhausting watching how people blindly follow whatever mainstream culture, religion, or tradition tells them, without ever stopping to ask why. And god forbid you live differently — they act like it’s their duty to correct you, question you, or shame you.
I don’t want to live by default. I want to question things, think freely, make choices that feel right to me. But here, that makes me the “weird” one. Or worse — the “lost” one, the one who “needs guidance,” the one people gossip about.
Why can’t people just mind their own business? Why is everything I do — from how I dress, what I say, who I love, how I love, what I believe or don’t believe — somehow a reflection on my family, my morality, or my worth?
I’m tired of feeling like an outsider in my own country. I’m tired of being surrounded by people who think conformity equals virtue. I want space to breathe, to think, to exist without constantly looking over my shoulder.

maybe i need therapy
I’m a girl and an introvert, and there’s this thing I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember: when I’m around men, I literally panic. My heart starts racing, my face turns red, and I can’t think clearly. It’s not just once or twice it happens every time. I feel nervous, tense, and hyper-aware of how I’m acting or what I look like. I overthink what to say, and half the time I just stay quiet or leave the situation.
Even just walking in public feels hard sometimes. I avoid eye contact. I can’t look people in the face. I stare at the ground and try to get to where I’m going without anyone noticing me.
The thing is, I’ve always been like this. I was the quiet kid growing up ,the one who only really talked when I was with close friends or family. I could be funny, expressive, even loud with them... but around people I don’t know? Especially guys? I shrink.
It got worse when I started university. Before that, I was always the invisible girl , boys never really noticed me, they always saw my best friend. But when I started taking care of myself and changed my appearance, suddenly guys started to talk to me. The weird part? I didn’t believe a word they said. I still don’t. I always assume they’re joking or lying, like I don’t deserve attention or compliments.
I know this isn’t healthy, and honestly, I think it’s time to get help. (please guys be kind )

السلام عليكم
هذا واحد لبلان فشكال
من أكبر الأغلاط لي كايديرو بعض الناس هوا محاولة ديالهم يبانو على ناس اخرين..كتبدا مثلا تخدم كتحس لا خصك تشري حديدة حيت مجاتش كاع لي معاك عندهوم حديدة ونتا لا
ولا كتبقا تشري لحوايج باش تبان فشكال وكيخصك تضرب لبياس الغاليين وكتبقا تستمتع فاش الناس كيقولو ليك بياسة هادي امعلم..وكيعجبوك النظرات ديالهم
ولا خصك تشري دار ونتا يلاه بادي لخدمة وخص الدار يكون فيها صالون ناضي فيه طلامط مطروزين بشي تخربيق فشكال..وكتخنق راسك ماليا
ولا كتسنا تاكيكونو الناس عاد كتتصدق على شي واحد باش تبان كدير الخير
ووو
كتبقا ديما أي حاجة كدير وأي إنجاز وأي فعل كتبقا بحال كاميرا د المراقبة فراسك كتحاول تشوف واش الناس شافوك..واش صفقو عليك
بل كتتحول بعض المرات السعادة د الإنجاز لتعاسة بسبب هدشي..مثلا:
كتدير شي إنجاز أيا كان..نجحتي ولا ربحتي شي حاجة ولا سافرتي لشي بلاصة ..كتنوض كتلوح تصويرة فسطوري وكتسنا تشوف تفاعل الناس..وايلا متفاعلوش معاك كيما توقعتي كتولي مخصر لك الجو وكتقول علاش ووو..وكتتحول السعادة بداك الإنجاز لتعاسة..
فالدين حنا كمسلمين كيتم التحذير ديالنا من هاد البلان فالعبادات تحت مسمى الرياء
كدير صدقة ولا كتصلي ولا كتقرا القرآن بصوت زوين ولا عالم فالدين ووو..وكدير هدشي على قبل باش يقولو عليك الناس شوف فلان تبارك الله على الإيمان ديالو..تاشوف الحاج تبارك الله ووو
هنا كتولي عوض تدي الأجر كتدي السيئات..
دكشي لاش الحل هو كيما كدير دوك الأعمال الزوينة قدام الناس ديرهوم فبلاصة فاش ميشوفوكش الناس باش تثبت أنك بصح كدير دكشي بإخلاص لله ماشي باش الناس ينبهرو بيك
الخلاصة:
محاولة أنك تبهر الناس هو سجن كديرو لراسك..كتقتل بيه الإبداع والقوة ديالك..ونهار غتخيد هاد لبلان غتعيش حر وغتتطور بشكل سريع بالمقارنة معا عوام الناس وغدير قرارات عقلانية كتخليك تربح فالحياة ديالك..

Feeling like an alien in the Moroccan society
I don’t know if anyone else here feels the same, but I’ve always felt like I was born in the wrong place, or worse – the wrong era. Living in Moroccan society as someone who doesn’t think, dress, talk, or believe like the majority feels like walking around in a costume nobody else understands. Everything from religion, tradition, family structure, to how people interact feels rigid, suffocating, and deeply performative.
I don’t care about weddings, I don’t want to gossip over tea, and I certainly don’t want to pretend to believe in the same values just to “fit in.” I don’t find joy in the things people are obsessed with here – status, appearances, judgment, and blind obedience to culture. I'm tired of being told "you’ll understand when you’re older" or "this is how it’s always been."
No, I’m not “too white,” not trying to be European. I just want authenticity, individual thought, and real conversations. And maybe some silence.
Anyone else feel like a permanent outsider in their own country?

Beautiful country and beautiful people: Thank you! - A few observations.
Just came back from Marrakech and it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip.
My first time in Morocco, I was taken aback by just how warm and friendly some of the people are. I've not seen hospitality like that in an incredibly long time and I travel fairly often for work.
The only thing I felt was a bit overwhelming was that every couple of feet you went there was someone bibbing you for a taxi ride or street begging. We walked around L'Hivernage and encountered some quite aggressive street begging. 'No' or 'Sorry, I have no money' was not taken as an answer by some!
I'd like to just walk down the street and take in my surroundings at times.
We were quite concerned about modesty before setting off and took care to ensure compliance, although on arrival it turned out that a lot of people dressed quite similar to the west (even the total opposite of modest in some cases)! That said, I (a male) did get some disapproving looks when I popped out of my hotel into the mall for a drink. I was wearing cycling shorts.
The food was amazing; the time spent out there too short and I am excited to go back again some time soon. I don't usually like to haggle when I go out places because I don't believe in haggling as a tourist but to see how cheap things are out there took getting used to. We really got our bang for our buck.
It's my first time ever visiting the continent and I was pleasantly surprised!

The behavior and entitlement of some gynecologists and midwives in Moroccan hospitals needs to be addressed.
Salam everyone,
I’m a medical student, and while I haven’t yet done my OB/GYN rotation, I feel very disturbed by what I’ve heard.
My close friends told me about how medical professionals mistreat women while giving birth, and I find it absolutely outrageous. From midwives calling a woman a “loose slut” and saying “you didn’t think about this when you opened your legs” — literally while she’s in the middle of labor and in so much pain — to gynecologists refusing to answer a patient’s simple questions about her birth process, dismissing her with things like “You do not tell me what to do” or “Ask your husband to take you to a private clinic”, knowing full well the patient cannot afford private care nor defend herself… it just breaks my heart.
Until when will this emotional abuse and dehumanization go on?
These people feel entitled to act this way simply because they’re going unpunished — because we’re told it’s not our business to interfere.

stuck,hopeless 23yo
Hi everyone,
I’m 23 years old. After a long period of depression, I deleted almost all my social media to avoid seeing people and comparing myself to them.
At 23:55 yesterday , I re-downloaded Facebook just to search for something on Marketplace. While scrolling, I came across a post from my old high school congratulating my former classmates. Almost everyone seemed to be in top schools—especially engineering schools—or living abroad in countries like France or Belgium.
Then I looked at myself. I only have a Bac+2 from OFPPT because I had bad grades in high school. And honestly, I can’t do much with a Bac+2 in Morocco. The education system here feels like it’s designed to block you at that level if you don’t have the right connections or resources.
I can’t afford to study further—like a Bachelor’s or Master’s—because my parents passed away. That financial pressure, along with everything else, has left me feeling completely isolated. I can’t talk to anyone about it. Even when I randomly run into friends, I avoid the topic of what I’ve been doing since high school.
Work? I’m currently living in a small city where I can’t even find a simple internship, let alone a job with growth potential.
and now its 4:16 still awak all of this is pushing me deeper into overthinking and depression. And to be brutally honest, the thought that keeps echoing in my mind is ending this life journey.

Seat chaos in Moroccan trains
Why do so many people in Moroccan trains ignore their seat numbers? You get to your spot and someone’s already there, acting surprised when you say it’s yours.
Then you have those saying : it's my seat but you can remain, I'll go look for a seat. La la ghir khallik denia hania.... These people think they're being nice when they're just encouraging uncivilized behavior. Lmgharba fahmine drafa bl ghalat.
SIT IN YOUR GODDAMN ALLOCATED SEAT.

All the support for Palestine
Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well.
I want to take a moment to bring attention to something deeply important: many people are still purchasing products from companies that support the Israeli occupation and the ongoing atrocities against our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Please, stop supporting these brands.
Instead, raise awareness among your family, friends, and community. This is one of the few peaceful ways we have to resist — by weakening the economic system that fuels oppression.
Our brothers and sisters in Gaza have been under siege for over a month now. Children are suffering from severe hunger, illness, and a lack of clean water. Every small action counts.
Support the Palestinian people however you can, and never forget them in your دعاء (prayers).
May justice and peace prevail.

My First Time at INWI Challenge Season 5 — How I Lost But Learned Big 🚀🔥
Hey r/Morocco
I’m Nexus Tribarixa from Berkane, and I just finished my first INWI Challenge with my middle school team from Al-Qods. We didn’t win 🥲 but I wanna share my journey and what I learned — maybe it helps someone preparing for next time.
What happened:
First task: Renovate something in Berkane. We built a new Dar Achabab (chabiba) for youth, and we qualified! 🎉🏆
Second task: Only 3 days’ notice to build a futuristic eco-friendly city 🌱🏙️. I focused on two buildings — an ecological theater 🎭 and a solar-powered greenhouse ☀️🌿.
Problem? My team dropped the ball 🥴 and I had to work solo under pressure. Plus, we got notified way later than others — super unfair ⏰⚠️.
End result: Lost in the middle school tier 😞.
What I learned:
Pick your team wisely — no one can do it all alone 🤝.
Quality > quantity, but timing and support are everything ⏳💪.
Sometimes the system is messed up — late notifications hurt 🚫📩.
This is just the start — I’m coming back stronger and smarter 🔥🧠.
The future:
I’ll be participating in the next INWI Challenge 6th edition, but this time representing High Up Academy. I’m pumped and ready to show what we got!
What do you think about my idea? Would you accept High Up as a participant? Any overall thoughts or advice on my story?
Would love to hear from y’all!

Have you tried to stop listening to music? Here is how i did and what it did to me
It’s been 5 months since I made the decision to stop listening to music and not renew my music streaming subscription. At first, it was incredibly frustrating. Music had been a big part of my daily routine. But over time, this decision became a source of deep peace and unexpected joy. It felt like breaking free from a subtle but powerful addiction, like a form of soul detox.
I used to listen to all kinds of music: moroccan rap, electronic, classic rock, pop, Arabic classics, Andalusian, Moroccan chaabi, and also used to attend a lot of electro events in casa, Marrakech , taghazout... But now, I feel as if my mind has been released from an invisible magnetic field, one that used to control my mood and serve as an escape from stress.
Whenever I feel the urge to go back to music, I turn to quran playlists instead. I choose a specific maqam (melodic mode) that resonates with how I’m feeling. Interestingly, each maqam reminds me of the type of music I once used to rely on. But after just five minutes of listening, I find myself absorbed in the meanings of the ayat, and the rhythm becomes irrelevant. That’s usually the moment when my stress starts to melt away subhanallah.
From a religious perspective, music is haram and some scholars make exceptions for hearing music involuntarily, like in public spaces or on social media reels…listening to it deliberately and willingly is generally discouraged and could lead to spiritual consequences. Over time, this normalization of music leads to a culture of celebrity obsession and festival-centered lifestyles that pull us away from deeper purpose.
In conclusion, I highly encourage anyone considering it to try quitting music, or at least reduce it. Find your own method that works for you. For me, replacing it with quranic recitation was life-changing. You may find your own path to peace too.
