I am a very sensitive person. I suffer from Depression, Social anxiety and Depersonalization Disorder. Thing is I am not particularly proud of my heritage, being an Afrikaner. (Mixed Dutch, German, French descent, and Afrikaans a language derived from Dutch) My people were responsible for Apartheid, murders, torture and other crimes against humanity. I was a child and teenager while it was still happening and just consentrated on myself. The government controlled the media and at that time I didn't really know a lot. But I knew the rest of the world didn't like us. Even today I still feel guilty and can't seem to be proud of my people. But only the minority of Afrikaners feel this way. I guess it's more about bad self esteem on my part. I should work on it and love myself for who I am. Just for interests' sake I'd say Afrikaners are known for being hard working, straight forward, sometimes stubborn, good problem solvers, practical, entrepeneural, sport loving, braai(barbeque) and party loving, outdoorish etc, etc. I would like to know what your ideas on Afrikaners are today.
