In the 1990s, Eid al-Adha was a uniquely joyful time that highlighted the spirit of celebration and family unity. During that era, preparations for the holiday began with excitement, from buying new clothes to preparing special festive foods. Children would dress in new outfits and enjoy sweets, whi

This is probably why most doctors you see are angry or arrogant.
Im going to speak exclusively from my modest and own experience as someone that graduated less than a year ago and had so far 2 jobs (i will not talk about lack of materials and infrastructures that's obvious at this point, but i will talk about society and its people)
The 2 jobs i had were types of jobs where i was specifically asked to treat only a certain type of people in a structure, with a limited stock of medication, but there were other people, part of the staff, that were present but i was under no obligation in interacting with them or treating them.
Yet, as a motivated young person, i was available all the time, always listening to people, giving medication, advice and consultations (because once they know you're a doctor, you're no longer a human being, you're a machine that is made to listen to their issues and problems and when they get what they want they just leave)
Some of those people that i am not supposed to treat, started really abusing my kindness and will come 3-4 times a day and whenever we cross paths they'll start complaining to me about themselves or their mothers, sons fathers..
At some point all of this became so draining, i started avoiding people, and taking different routes just to not have anyone talk to me, with earphones and sunglasses. And when they would come to my office, i would just refuse to give anything that im not even supposed to. That just created an instant shift in the behaviour of people, they wouldnt even greet me (i know now im asking for the interaction but im not asking for a conversation just a salam when you walk by me out of respect), nothing, i became this big evil person that doesnt want to help poor innocent people.
After that switch, i chose to actually play that role and i started acting arrogant and ignoring them as well except for some people that kept their manners even after i explained why i cant give medication.
And suprisingly, the job became way easier, i am not tired all the time and actually in a good mood all over.
This was my short experience that made me act like the doctors everybody hates, it doesnt feel great because im a people pleaser in general, but people just will never recognize the good you did for them and will only remember the bad.

I nearly got robbed by 3 girls in Agadir
I am studying my bachelor’s final year in agadir it was a year full with good people and i really liked how the people here are and their kindness …
I rarely go out and explore the city i was drowned in uni until like the past 3 days i decided to go to inzegan and book my bus ticket as i usually do
I went as usual in the morning to find good prices but when i arrived near the place of the buses its called terminal maybe its a very busy place but this time it was empty (6am) in a Sunday , i was approached by one teenage girl she look homeless and she asked if i have a dirham or some food i said no and immediately went away then she grabbed me by my backpack and then her two friends (girls also) spawned infront of me and with a really big knife i got damn scared and thought abt the consequences of me as a man hitting them or injuring them then she became aggressive and i smashed the shit out of one of them (the one with the knife) and a cop got here and told me to avoid them he was watching the whole shit and couldn’t do anything.
He told me that he cant do anything and cant arrest them they dont have anyone to bail them etc and some bs.
I thanked god that cop saw me if not i would be accused of female violence and would rot in jail.
Btw i am a tall skinny guy and they tought i may be young thats why they approached me (this what the cop said)

Proud of Darija
I had the experience of traveling to many countries, and I noticed that in all these countries, most people didn't speak English; they spoke their local language. When I returned to Morocco, I found it frustrating that some people, trying to look cute & smart, start speaking French or mix it with Arabic. We should be proud of our Darija and not rely on French. Just like in Turkey, where they take pride in their language, we should do the same with Darija.
If you want to learn French, good luck, but do not use your stupid language

Anyone else experience this? Modest swimwear not allowed in Moroccan resorts...
I went to a resort in Marrakech and was told that I can't swim due to wearing a long sleeve swimsuit, they told me this after paying for the taxi there, booking the day trip and organising it with my hotel.
I do speak moroccan darija and asked them why and they said the supervisor walked by and wanted me to remove my swimsuit and wear a sleeveless one or a bikini.
I don't wear the hijab but I do wear covered swimwear for health and personal reasons with my body whilst swimming. What baffles me is why the hell am I being told to basically strip in order to swim when I am wearing proper swimwear attire in a country that is predominantly muslim.
What's the message here, are people who want to cover not allowed? Is it just Muslims or Jews who want to be modest aren't allowed to swim, I don't understand because like myself there are many people that wear more covered swimsuits for their own personal comfort whilst swimming as well as for their health in terms of skin care for certain issues.
When I was speaking to the pool staff, they said this was enforced by the French owner and that most if not all resorts in Morocco are like this. When has this become an issue where now we have to enquire about resorts in Morocco as to whether swimming is allowed if you want to be covered up?

The 90s generation in Morocco is often remembered for its deep-rooted respect for elders and the strong moral upbringing that characterized the era. Children were taught from a young age to honor their parents, teachers, and older family members. This respect was not merely a formality but a fundame

North African guy with earrings visiting Morocco
Hello everyone! Super excited to be travelling to Morocco with my gf soon with only one concern that I would like to have a clarification to from locals please!
I am a North African male travelling from Europe but I have an earring in one of my ears and I was wondering if it’s gonna be okay or not?
P.S. I look like a typical north african and you wouldn’t really tell if I am not Moroccan until I start to speak

Why is my hair so dry in Morocco
I have wavy hair. I feel like the water here has a big impact on my hair. My hair feels extremely dry and stiff meanwhile my roots feel oily. I use protein & moisturizing masks, olaplex and claryfing shampoo. I use leave-in conditioner and heat protecting oil.
The only option I have is getting a blowdry at the salon every time but I don’t want to damage my hair with all that heat. When I get it done, my hair is soft and silky. When I blowdry at home, my hair gets frizzy and explodes outside. What am I doing wrong? Is it the water I have at home? I don’t have this issue in Europe/USA.

I saw some of my old friends yesterday, and I realized that they are the dumbest closest minded people alive
I went to study in Europe 8 y ago,
I actually don’t like where i’am living rn, so I was contemplating coming back,
I feel like this experience is god telling me to never come back to live here.
I remember when I first left Morocco, I was so happy to leave all the connections that I’ve met here behind, I used to hate the people I went to school with, I used to found them hypocritical, mean spirited, close minded, homophobic and misogynistic.
I kept my close friends, only two persons, and never looked back.
Until yesterday, where I saw one of my old school connaissance and their friends,
The worst 30 min, I feel like everyone in Morocco is so nice, helpful and serviable until you talk deeply with them,
The hate, the racism, the misogyny, the colorism, the hate of the poor, honestly I was shocked, I feel like I forgot how the majority of our country is,
You have to pay your way to freedom but even then the people and the men around you wants control,
It’s honestly scary to know that we are one of the most opened minded country in the Arab world

وكيبدا ازعاج الجيران والساكنة بالموسيقى لي باف ديال فيستيفال كيديرو بيهم هوما لاومبيونص
والموسيقي: مرة ديال وحدة سمحت فيه او خانتو، مرة ديال وحدة سحارة ليه مرتو، مرة ديال وحدة يقولك باغي يتزوجة الزوجة الثانية، مرة ديال وحدة او واحد حرك لاسبانيا او فرنسا، مرة على واحد كيشرب الشراب...

Coming back to Morocco wasn't as expected
Hi everyone, hope y'all are okay. Got back to Morocco after getting a professional experience in the UK as a Veterinary Doctor, while I was there homesickness was through the roof and maybe I was biased to think that It'll be worth it to not go for other opportunities abroad using the momentum I was in, and go back see my family and do a field study in the big cities in order to create your own business (Private Practice) there.
What happened is I got slapped by the bureaucracy and corruption that I was amazed how I was so blinded to see before going abroad. My brain couldn't process again the pollution around, and the type of service in our profession as it's hard to practice our field of Medicine with high standards here. Which contradicts why i started this profession in the first place. However, I said to myself you'll get passed it it's just a phase, but it's getting worse. As I almost finishing 3 months now and I don't see myself here, even I feel distant from my family more than ever, feeling far away from
them than i was when i was abroad. It's mind boggling.
Is there any similar situation ?

Is being quiet a social faux-pas and I should just accept it?
The first thing people notice about me is me being quiet. They do adress it and it's Okey. But then they start shit talking, saying things like "I really don't like it when people are so quiet", "that girl is so nice she is talkative and laughs a lot, she is not the standoffish kind", " oh my God it's so boring on here". And they start gossiping about all the quiet people they know all in front of me. I do notice too that I do unintentionally offend them by my quietness. Daba wlit kanhez lhem whenever someone comes to visit us because I know they won't be very happy with my quietness even though there are other people at home who they can talk to.
I'm very comfortable with myself but it seems it's very hard to please Moroccans with this personality, they have that strong opinion about how being sociable is inherently better than being quiet, I genuinely feel they get offended when I'm quiet. Am I wrong for being that comfortable and unapologetic about being quiet? Is it selfish? I've always been like that, also painfully shy and people who are socially comfortable seem to just not get it. I do think sometimes that all that normalization with introversion that is going on on social media made me even lazier to change myself and added to my comfortability with my personality, which maybe should not have happened? I know that even if I tried to change myself I wouldn't be able to and I myself feel offended when people pressure me to be something else. But at the same maybe being quiet and a loner is just rude after all?

Gym community problems
Okay ! I don’t know what to feel but just one thing I want to say before explaining the situation I would never go back again to that shithole , so I was training for like 5 months but without anyone to correct my exercises at a gym with days where there are women only , now in that month this gym decided that there will be no sessions to the girls for like 2 months so we have a choice to continue but in the men days , today I did go and that was one of the most horrible experiences in my life , I tried to wear oversized clothes not like the gymwear that Im used to wear so I won’t bring any unwanted attention and I wasn’t looking at anybody or doing squats or deadlift in front of anybody , even the glute bridges/ hip thrusts that I was used to do I didn’t do them , but everybody was staring at us ( lblasa li kn3mroha taykhiwha bnadem ldarajat lblassa li knkono fiha ktkon 3amra ktwli ktsaffer ) , and a bunch of guys did mock us because we are beginners doing bench press with just a bar saying ( حمل الأخفاف ) , I can’t say that they are all alike but most of em , I thought that everybody was working on his own body and doesn’t give a shit about others but I was wrong , I just wanna know the reason why .
Thank for reading all that , I hope that my complaints won’t bother you .
