I'm a POC and I do experience racism but it doesn't really affect me. One reason is that I have high confidence and I have always been a bit delusional about my self-importance since I was really young and I look down on anyone who tries to disrespect me. Call me egotistical but idc bc I consider it rather a positive and self-empowering thing. Another reason is that I have achieved a lot for my age, and the fact that I had a horrible traumatizing upbringing and still managed to put in countless hours fighting my anger, resentment, despair, desolation, self-doubt and uncertainty almost every day 7 days a week for years to get to where I am now only fuels and validates my worth even more. The universe gave me this miracle that I call my life. This is the only life I got and it's the singular most important thing in existence to me, and anyone who tries to disrespect it I put them beneath me bc they deserve it.

Also keep in mind there are lurkers who come to subs like this who don't necessarily have mental health issues and they might be downvoting you. Ignore trivial negativity like this bc they don't deserve your attention.
