My perspective:
1. Hot weather. In summer I just hate it.
2. Many of my fellowmen are bullies. Like school scenarios or work scenarios, there is always someone out there that have the time and action to put others down. To lift themselves up.
3. Arrogance. again, this is everywhere in my country. Be it rich or poor that sorta trait is very visible. Due to that, people fail to truly connect to others. instead of being kind, people throw shade on you when you just breathe.
4. Mentality of making a benefit from other people instead of making their own gains.Again, roots to arrogance. I notice people who feel very high of themselves try to be close to people who are an achiever that can benefit them or someone who has a lot of resources(money, assets, high fame, top in hierarchy corporate jobs). They stick like glue to those they can have a positive gain yet step on others who seem of no value to them.
5. Breeding. Many people here are too caught up in illusions of love and lust. Sure it's a human thing we need love. but there should be a plan, there should be a commitment. I see kids starving in the streets and there are a lot of kids here, many are thin and I bet they didn't ask to be born when they experienced such hardships. And you see the “dads” either can't be found, have another love affair, and have another child with another woman, not married and like a lazy human being there is to see. It's a common thing here, filipino men just pass their DNA as if it's nothing. And Filipinas just accept their fates and carry the burden all throughout their lives.
6. Human cctv. Filipinos tend to see what you are up to, even the smallest detail about you and they would talk to their friends about the info they know(what you have been doing, career, family life, etc) I think this sorta has to do with the majority of Filipinos are in groups or many cant seem to know what minding their own business means. I know this because be it in work or in shared rental properties it's the same pattern. Some of my friends backbite a new person in the area and I tend to change topics and say idk.
7. We have what we call “pakikisama” which means togetherness, so if you act like ignoring the other person in a new setting and don't engage in talking with the people around you, they would then call your names your back and make you be like a bad person. When reality, a person prob just wants some peace and quiet that's why they don't talk or are introverted. And if you can't communicate with others you bad person, It is as if you are obliged to entertain another person and give time to that person or people to be labeled good and friendly. But yes maybe in their perspectives social life is a priority but not for all. Tbh i just go with the flow and leave the group setting from time to time. I get drained by people a lot so I move and change places or go back to live alone.
8. Rude people everywhere. Foreigners are unlikely to experience it but as a Filipino, i meet at least 1 more often. Examples are cashiers. They are very very rude people I understand they have sht work but it is awful to see them trying to use me as their outlet(gaslighting/blaming) I also used to experience a cashier laughing at my small order.
Another example, there are also people who meddle in your business even without me asking, I went to the atm and a guy kept calling me, I didn’t pay him attention at first because he was mumbling and thought he was talking to others and I was busy. my sole purpose is to type in my PIN code and read what's on the screen that’s all my logic, I can't multi-task and entertain another person. He didn’t stop meddling and kept shouting that the atm was down, I realized it, still my attention on the screen, I tried to cancel my transaction then he suddenly spouted rude remarks at me because I didn’t pay him a glance or attention off course I wouldn’t, I can’t leave my transaction on hold just to talk to him I gotta cancel first. I was shocked by his behaviour. Then i realized he wasn’t such a good helpful fellow human being, he was just “helping” to get an ego boost. When i can’t give it, he acts like an adult brat and is rude about it.
