If no one is coming to save you then you are absolutely and magnificently fucked... There's a reason society exists and the "everyone for themselves" mentality leads to chaos.

I think the idea behind "no one is coming to save you" is to get people to stop wallowing in self-pity and helplessness. It is to remind you that to a large degree, you are in charge of your own destiny and you are responsible for the circumstances you find yourself in, regardless of what put you in those circumstances.

If you find yourself broke, maybe you lost your job, or maybe you just weren't born into wealth. That's tough, but if you just sit around wishing you were born rich, or that the job market was favorable, nobody is going to come to your couch and give you a million dollars or offer you a job! You have to put yourself out there, apply for jobs, start a business etc.
If you're sad and depressed, no one is going to automagically call you and make you feel better. It is your responsibility to pick up the phone and seek out therapy, or call someone who will genuinely care.

Same as with everything in OPs list: horny? jealous? heartbroken? resentful? These are all problems with well-documented solutions. Figure out what you need to do to make your situation better, then go do that. Instead of wishing, praying or hoping things will get better.

The people who need this aren't the folks with a stable internet connection and a few hours to comfortably waste on Reddit. Conversely, I've never met anyone in abject poverty who was waiting for the system to fix itself and didn't work tirelessly to improve their situation; so who is 'no one is coming to save you' even for?

A lot of people in this country have built their collective understanding of marginalized oppression on a theory that attributes individual behavior or vices as the primary drivers of poverty. In reality, businesses, bodies of government, and financial institutions predominantly owned and regulated by corrupt elites in this country shift the blame for inequality onto individual outliers, using them as justification for structural injustice. OP is the poster child of a corrupt theocracy, they just don't seem to know it.

This is beautifully put and true. A story: Back home in a small town in the rift valley I worked under my parent's small business (a common occurrence with people from my community), this was after form 4. During the weekends, there used to be a beggar who came to beg by the counter where of course I was stationed. He almost always reeked of alcohol and his eyes were also a bit bloodshot but puzzlingly he always came wielding a jembe. He'd never hear us telling him apana, he'd do the same work regardless; clearing out the front trench of the business and come for his "pay". Really you had no choice :'-D

Kenyans are a hardworking people but capitalism thrives on creating divisions and enriching and empowering a few to the detriment of many.

This is enough evidence that NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU. It implies that you have to work your *ss off. Finding those people is a good starting point to eliminating that self entitlement that you deserve help from nobody.

It's interesting that they keep saying no man is an island and how you need people in your life when shit hits the fan and you show up for people in the spirit of Ubuntu 😂😂but when it actually happens to you....NO ONE is coming to save you😂😂😂 needing people has always been a scam. A tool of conformity.

It's important to hold people accountable. If someone abandons you in your time of need and yet they had the capacity to help, when you get out of that hole be sure to let them know. Remind them of their acts.

If you surround yourself with people who believe that "no one is coming to save you," don't be surprised when none of them shows up for you in your hour of need.

Well that can be quite true but I guess you only really know they are those kinds of people when shit happens...so still the surprise factor will be there

Not really, the only thing each of us has is each other. Some people are difficult to deal with yes but that doesn't change the fact we are all each other has.

I agree, sometimes tho you think you've built it and when shit happens you realise it's not what you thought it was...I'm glad for you, you have a community that is not the noone is coming to save you type.

Bro, uko pekee yako, usikuwe falaaaa, especially as a man people will need you only if you have smth to offer, dont be lied to by the smiles.

Not that the smiles are fake or anything, it's just human nature, everybodys got their own personal agenda

smthing really scared me as a kid growing up is that no matter how much your parent or spouse or anyone loves you, they cant save you from death and you cant also do the same. Hapo ndo the laws of the universe take charge and you know its only you, your coffin and your almighty

Today I was quoted a proverb which I only understood almost 14 hrs later, I might not have realised it but I was propagating what my own enemies wanted me to.

Mkuki wa nguruwe mtamu kwa binadamu uchungu.

So what did you come to understand from the saying?

But let's be a little logical, mkuki kwa nguruwe ni mtamu aje sasa? Nguruwe yupi aliwaambia si uchungu pia kwao?

define save anyway. sometimes we need a little save, some help, a word of encouragement, a little support to get to the places we seek. no one will take initiative for you to elevate or change but when you do take those little steps, you will meet people whose vision aligns with yours and they will offer help according to their virtue.

Tell that to Indians and Somalis who spend all day everyday saving each other.

Successful values create successful societies.

freefromthem

this is true i have a family member who is not present for his kids so I along with many others team up to pay their bills we've paid for years some even longer than me now his oldest son is going one of kenyas best colleges im proud of him in reality if noone helped only Allah knows but I think he would have been a street kid. Allah promises reward for good deeds the Prophet said Stinginess and faith can never be combined in a slave of God's heart.

"No one is coming to save you" in as much as we are promoting positive dependancy, this rule should always guide you.

when there is someone coming to save you utabaki tu umezuba waiting to be saved na ata the person you thought was your way out turns out to be your biggest disappointment.

This one time i was in a sticky situation and the only person i thought would help(a relative) bluntly told me no one was coming to help and i should find a way and save myself 😮‍💨

From that day on i Save myself most of the times

Take full ownership of your life! Stop making your life other people's responsibility.

It takes a village. One should strive to work hard but cooperation and help from others is the foundation of successful society. It sucks if you have no one to rely on.

😊 I've often noticed that the people who complain about life giving them the short end of the stick are the first to abandon others in similar situations when they are up.

Pick up a trade or a skill.

Believe in yourself.

Be content.

The problem with humans is that we’re too weak and dependent by nature’s design to see this reality. People prefer to complain, blame and beg instead of being responsible for their actions. This is something that will never change.

What one can do is that be responsible for your own life and realize that every decision you make is made by you and no one else. We expect humans with their own problems to come fix ours. Impossible lol

In all of Kibe's craziness I think this is one of the few things he got right. He once said that when you are going through shit, it is up to you to figure out exactly what has gone wrong. Once you know the cause of the problem and potential solutions, then you can ask for help. People are always willing to help, family, friends sometimes even strangers, you just got to know how you want to be helped.

That's not true, stop spreading hopelessness and despondency. If no man will save you, Jesus absolutely can and will.
Matthew 8. The gospel is called the good news because it's not beholden to the world or to man, but only to God. It matters not where you are, what you've done, who you've done it to ... if you're willing and call out to Him, He will save you. I'm a walking testimony of that. "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." - Isaiah 45:22
Even if you don't believe, hope.
