So depressed, borrowing money or loans, is it truly looked down upon by others? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Due to my reliance on online loans, I fell into a debt trap, which led to problems with my survival, affected my credit rating, and I'm currently unemployed. I've been freelancing and trying to start my own business, all while dealing with a broken heart. The loss has made me feel emotionally down and I've shown signs of depression, often immersed in depressive thoughts. I wonder, is it really bad to borrow money? Some people doubt my character and manner of dealing with life when I don't borrow. I believe I am honest and have shared my true situation with them. I feel like I need a few days of rest recently. If I truly have depression, do I really need to rest in bed? I constantly feel headaches and a lack of energy, and I'm constantly immersed in self-doubt, unsure if I can return to work, as I've been out of the job market for over two years. I still owe money, and my ex-boyfriend said he's getting married, which has made me particularly despondent, feeling unfairly treated by fate! I can't just stay at home all the time; I need to borrow money, but I have nothing in my bank account, and the money that has just been deposited will be deducted. Sometimes, I can't accept this version of myself.

I extend to you a warm embrace from a distance.

At this juncture, one may experience a profound sense of powerlessness, accompanied by a longing to be seen, understood, supported, and accepted.

It can be stated with certainty that a considerable number of young people are currently resorting to online lending platforms to obtain funds. The appeal of these platforms lies in their convenience, speed, and lack of collateral requirements. Consequently, borrowing from online lending platforms has emerged as a popular alternative for young people. It is important to note that the decision to borrow from such platforms should not be viewed as inherently negative, provided that the intention is to enhance oneself and meet essential living expenses, and there is a clear plan to repay the loan in a timely manner.

From your description, it is evident that you are still in debt and are experiencing significant pressure. When coupled with your personal emotional distress, your mood is notably low and despondent. In the absence of the support of close family and friends, you are likely to perceive and respond to circumstances with a pessimistic and negative outlook. You may feel that you lack the resources or ability to effectively navigate your current situation.

One may choose to maintain an emotional diary, wherein one records painful emotional experiences over time in written form. This facilitates enhanced perception and comprehension of one's emotions, fosters the development of self-awareness, and enables self-care. It also allows for the exploration of needs underlying one's emotions, thereby enhancing one's capacity to respond to and satisfy those needs.

One may attempt to discuss one's present emotions with family members and trusted friends. When one's inner distressing emotions are listened to attentively, the harm they cause may gradually diminish or even cease.

Hello.

Not everything that starts out well needs to end well. Good intentions are not enough. They must stand the test of life. Otherwise, they will disappoint and scare people and turn them away.

Borrowing money is to solve one's urgent needs. However, if the money is not repaid in time, it is using other people's money for nothing. At this point, the borrower's mentality begins to change. They unconsciously shirk responsibility and give excuses, with the subtext being "I actually didn't mean to." They are immersed in contradictions and sadness, not realizing how ill-considered and irresponsible the decision was.

Let me be clear: it is not borrowing money that makes people look down on you. It is borrowing money and not repaying it that will make people despise, distrust, and disrespect you.

Your behavior is a product of your thoughts. When you see that your behavior is inappropriate, you must recognize the inadequacy of your thinking and your immature state of mind. You must confront the problem and take responsibility for yourself. Only by repaying a loan can you be considered a mature adult who takes full responsibility for your actions and does not blame others.

You need to get out of this vicious cycle of borrowing.

You must tackle the problem at the source. Stop borrowing money at high interest rates and rates of interest that are not in line with the law. Refuse to make unfair repayments. And first of all, protect your own rights and interests. Then you need to start shouldering your responsibilities and repay your debts on time.

Ask your parents for help.

Tell your parents the truth. Don't be needlessly clever, hide things, or get help from your parents and spend it all yourself. You'll have thrown away your last self-respect and lifeline, become the kind of person who is looked down upon for not paying back loans, and realize that money doesn't just fall from the sky. It's earned. How should you reasonably treat others so that you are not looked down upon?

So, collect your sense of shame, tell your parents the truth, and negotiate with the lender. You can reduce the interest rate or pay back only the principal to pay off the debt.

You must be self-reliant.

If your parents can't afford it, don't blame them. They're not obligated to support you forever. Get this straight, or you really need to reflect on and correct your mindset.

You must repay what you owe. This often involves hard work and sacrifice. Do the work first, then plan the salary you will earn. Negotiate, then repay on time. Be self-reliant and self-sufficient until you have fulfilled your responsibilities.

The questioner will know the difference between exchanging free, self-earned labor for money and being forced to exchange time for money. They will know this whether it is to solve a problem with the help of parents or to get out of a difficult situation through self-reliance. People who do not borrow money to live are not afraid to borrow money. They just do not want to be slaves to money. It is also a sign of reverence for money. So, looking back, what kind of attitude towards money does the questioner hold?

I'm sure it is!

I understand how overwhelming everything feels right now. It's important to take a step back and breathe. Everyone hits tough patches, and it's okay to feel lost sometimes. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Maybe talking to a professional could offer some guidance and support through this.

It sounds like you're carrying a lot on your shoulders. The weight of financial stress combined with emotional pain can be incredibly draining. Taking time for yourself isn't just okay; it's necessary. Resting doesn't mean giving up. It's about recharging so you can tackle things from a healthier place.

Dealing with debt and heartbreak simultaneously must be really hard. But remember, borrowing money isn't inherently bad—it's the circumstances that make it challenging. You're doing your best in difficult situations. Perhaps reaching out to friends or family who understand might provide some relief. It's also worth exploring community resources that offer assistance.

Feeling down and out of energy is tough, especially when you've been away from work for a while. Sometimes, getting back into a routine can be daunting. If you're feeling depressed, it's crucial to acknowledge those feelings and consider speaking with someone who can help. Small steps can lead to bigger changes over time.

Life has thrown you curveballs, but you're still standing. It's okay to rest and reflect on where you want to go next. Financial struggles and personal setbacks are part of life, but they don't define you. Consider looking into nonprofit organizations or counseling services that can offer support without adding more financial strain. Remember, you're not alone in this.
