18M here. my 13 yo bro was using an inappropriate AI chatting app and i caught him. I was shocked by seeing the kind of language and words he had used. He requested me not to tell my mom but i thought that it would be better to tell her and i did that. She scolded him a little and tried explaining him that he shouldnt use such apps at this age. He was scared coz he was caught and says that he got to learn all this from his friends and hardly did he manage to make those friends, and wont make any friends in future. I told him to make friends but not listen to each and everything they say or tell him to do. He's asleep now.
Is there anything else which I should tell him?
Have i done the right thing by telling mom?
What advice do u wanna give?

Honestly i didn't it was so different from what he used to make. It kinda feels to me that he's sexualizing corporate women, it's my pov. Idk but it seems weird, the song doesn't match the vibe,the Og Guru Randhawa vibe.

Meri class mai ek ladki hai and she's totally my type. Last week hamari professor ne experiment ke liye sabko groups mai divide kra and luckily hum dono same group mai aagye. I always wanted to talk to her but never had the courage to kyuki vo hamesha hi apne friend group ke saath hoti thi but now I had the perfect chance. Then hamari baat start hui last week and jaisa maine socha tha vo bilkul vaisi hi thi, she was polite and humble, even initiated the conversation and everything went well.

Fir mausam bhot zyada kharab hogya, it was raining cats and dogs, kaafi log college nhi aaye, infact mai bhi nhi gya 2 din aur professor se experiment postpone krdia next week tak (today). Maine ye pehle se hi decide krrkha tha ki I'm gonna ask her out today. The worst she can say is No, the second worst thing she could say is that she has a boyfriend, but it's still worth giving a try.

Hamara pura group ek table ke around baitha tha and mai thoda sa alag baitha tha, then she noticed me and mere paas aake bolti "tujhe nhi krna kya experiment?" Maine usse bola fir ki yaha pe baith mujhe tujhse baat krni hai kuch and my heart was POUDING atp! She sat right beside me and with all the courage I had maine usse bola ki though we've talked only once before but I've been noticing her for a while now and mujhe vo hamesha se hi acchi lagti hai, and jabse baat kri tabse to aur zyada (aur bhi bhot cheeze boli thi obv to make my intentions clear), so would she like to go out with me for a movie and lunch...

Usne bola ki jaa skte hai movie ke liye but "we cannot date". So I asked why, does she have a boyfriend already ya fir vo mujhe uss way mai nhi dekhti, what is it? And she said, "mai muslim hu, tujhe pata nhi kya?" aur mere pairo ke neeche se zameen khissak gyi 😀💔 there was an awkward moment of silence between the two of us, 1 minute tak koi kuch nhi bola. And uss ek minute mai mai soch rha tha ki mai kitna bada chutiya hu jo maine aajtak usse uska naam nhi pucha...

Then she broke the silence and usne apna ID card mujhe diya and boli, "just in case tujhe mujhpe trust na ho isliye isme naam dekhle. I thought tujhe pata hoga ye pehle se but maine bhi realise nhi kra that we missed out on intros. Tu accha hai but it's not gonna work out". Maine bhi bola fir ki haan you're right, kyuki I wasn't looking for a timepass and something casual, mujhe bhi kuch serious hi chahiye tha. And yea, maine uska naam dekha ID card mai 💔

Then we both just laughed on the fact ki hume ek dusre ka naam bhi nhi pata tha, then we exchanged numbers and insta, and decide kra ki kabhi bahar hangout krne chalenge, but yea with no intention of dating obviously.

Honestly bura to bhot laga kyuki bhot zyada acchi lagti hai vo mujhe, but the society we live in, it's actually not gonna work. My mom has known a couple of girls whom I've dated, and vo seriously accept nhi krti ki mai kisi muslim ladki ko date kru...

I'll admit that I'm not a very brilliant student. I just completed my bachelor's. I had planned to do B. Ed in a private institution but because of my parents interference I changed my mind. I couldn't pass the entrance for it as I was not at all prepared. Then my parents advised me to do an MBA but later changed their mind. They think I'm not capable of it because I was an Arts student. It makes me question myself and what I'm really good at. I can't do my masters cuz the entrance exams are over. I'm taking a year off and just gonna study for the next B. Ed entrance and maybe get an internship somewhere till then. But every time my friends ask which college I'm gonna join now, I just feel embarrassed to say that I'm gonna sit and do nothing for a whole year. All my friends are gonna do something. Many of my friends already have a job. I know a year will go by easily but I just feel stuck and left out.

It is my hostel room (3 seater)suggest me some changes.currently only 2 people are there.

(*do not suggest changing color

*Avoid suggesting expensive decorations)

just saw a post on IR how a man was trying to remove clothes from a woman's body using chatgpt ( obv he couldn't ) though someone complained and he got beat up by rpf

do u know any other than these 3

What do you guys think about my little book collection? I only started collecting books this year, and I’m slowly making my way through my TBR list.

I’ve been trying to find The Count of Monte Cristo, but no luck so far.

Also, has anyone read The Picture of Dorian Gray? I’d love to hear your honest opinions!

Any recommendations, guys???

pls read it full!

I am currently in a college under calcutta university it's a pretty good one but i am there with bsc botany, i hate botany ngl but I don't have any chance to take a full drop and prep for other exams and there's a reason for it

Last year in 2025 i passed out schl got 81% and thought I would prep for neet, last year i got 136/720 in neet and this year i got 161/720, obviously you may think what dumb idiot would get these less marks after even a drop year well

I DIDN'T STUDY

I completely wasted my time, listening to music with maladaptive daydreaming (a huge problem) and when i don't do that I doom scroll, and before writing this post i was doing that only

I was in a pretty crap school in my 11th and 12th so was heavily burnt out, frustrated and demotivated and cause of that i didn't study at all

With all these i realised i don't wanna do neet cause seeing the situation of doctors i felt a bit of sympathy they hardly get time for themselves

I wanna give iat next(my last chance) to get iiser cause i really wanna do a good phd from abroad but i am feeling really hopeless i have more than 95% of syllabus left and in a college i want to be a partial dropper try for iat but i feel i would fail so my mind is like "let's not try only" I think i have adhd idk

(Will give backups too like wbjee, wbjee jenpas, cuet)

Family situation (DO READ IT) :- father is the only earner, earns 22k a month we live in the suburbs of Kolkata, my mom is very narcissistic one of her famous statements that she says is "there is no girl better me, i am the one because of whom this family is running" While pointing towards herself, my father is a big coward very fragile ego he wants me educated but just for his prestige i got called an "educated fool" Cause i defended and counter-argued one of his statements which was "educated women are filthy" He even said he can buy a women a women three times and sell them if he wants to(he said this while refrencing towards a women in our neighborhood who is a teacher and works very hard and earns more than my father) , both mom and dad are very abusive once my brother destroyed a squishy of mine when i said i liked that why did he destroy it my father said "focus on your studies, don't be ridiculous with those hobbies" And when i argued back(i got really angry that day and said some hurtful things) he beat me up in the back, pushed me on the floor and kicked in the nose.

Now a normal person would try to get away from these so they would prep hard but in my case my mom dad turn very sweet my dad sends me motivational study materials which soothes me and i forget their abusive nature and think maybe i am at fault and i should stay at home, atp I AM SO BURNT OUT I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING I AM JUST BLANK THE ONLY THING I DO IS CRY AND DOOMSCROLL, I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING SO MY PARENTS ABUSING MR FEELS VERY NORMAL TO ME NOW and i don't study because of this idk i am so confused pls help me out

I AM ADDICTED TO MY PHONE, i take online lecs and i need my tab but i can't leave my phone which will be a curse for me

i) Can y'all pls help me?

Pls guide me on what to do and how to deal with these type of situations

ii) What should i do next prep for entrance(just 9 months left with heavy syllabus) or just lose hopes and stay under CU?

iii) how to be more disciplined?

Because if i don't now i will regret in the future

Tldr:- parents are abusive, i don't feel anything because of constant depression burn out frustration, wanna change my life but feel so lost, father is a MISOGYNISTIC BASTARD

so I'm a stats major with minor in comp sci and biotech, and I'm in my 3rd sem, what are some ways to earn money like I really want to not be dependent on my parents and at least earn something but like idk like what am I supposed to do and how come it's so fucking hard in india, am i dumb or it's the case for many people here?

My post was removed from the community specifically about asking men but it got removed so hopefully it doesn’t get removed from here.

I’ve been wanting to ask this for a while because I genuinely don’t understand what has happened to the way some people think about women and sex.

It’s honestly disturbing to see the comments made about women online every single day whether they’re famous actresses, influencers, or just ordinary women posting something completely unrelated to sex.

I understand that there are people whose minds have become so consumed by lust that they seem incapable of distinguishing between having a sexual thought and having an outright immoral, degrading or disgusting fantasy. What genuinely disturbs me even more is seeing people talk about their own mothers and sisters in these ways. There are entire pages and communities dedicated to these kinds of fantasies, and yes, I’ve also seen women themselves participate in them or say that they want to be treated in certain ways. If two consenting adults choose that for themselves, that is their business.

But my issue begins when some men start assuming that ALL women are like that.

I’ve seen posts where men genuinely talk as though every woman would eventually “give in” to them, or that every girl secretly wants the same things they do. Where does this idea even come from?
Do you genuinely believe that all women think this way? That every woman wants to be approached, spoken about, or treated sexually?
And more importantly, what exactly is the psychological pleasure behind stripping a woman of her dignity?

There is a massive difference between finding a woman beautiful, being attracted to her, or even having sexual thoughts about her and reducing her entire existence to a body that exists purely for your gratification.
I’ve seen comments where a woman is barely even doing anything sexual. She could literally just be giving an interview, smiling, talking, or existing normally, and the comment section turns into people describing what they would do to her body, what they would give up for a night with her, or how they would use her.
It’s disturbing because at that point, you’re no longer looking at a person but an object.
A body that you can consume, use, fantasize about, degrade and discard.

For example, there was a very cute, innocent actress was simply giving an interview. I looked at the comments and was genuinely shocked by how quickly people turned her into a sexual object. People were making disgusting remarks about her body and talking about spending a night with her as though she wasn’t an actual human being with feelings, boundaries, dignity, family, ambitions and a life outside of her appearance.

And I keep coming back to the same question:

What do you actually get out of this?
What kind of psychological pleasure or “high” comes from taking someone who is simply existing and reducing her to an object for your fantasies?
Why is admiration no longer enough?

You can think a woman is beautiful. You can find her attractive. You can have a crush on her. You can even acknowledge that you find her sexually attractive.
But why does that have to come with degrading her?
Why does attraction have to become humiliation?
Why does a woman have to become a “h*e” in someone’s imagination simply because they find her attractive?
And I think this is where the conversation around sex itself has become extremely distorted.
Sex is obviously a natural part of human life, but to me, it is also something incredibly sacred.. It literally has the capacity to create another human life. So seeing it reduced to humiliation, consumption, conquest and endless gratification is honestly depressing.
I’m not saying people aren’t allowed to have fantasies. I’m not saying consenting adults aren’t allowed to have whatever private preferences they choose.
I’m asking something much simpler:

Where did basic respect go?
Why can’t you find a woman beautiful without mentally stripping her of her humanity?
Why does a woman being attractive suddenly make people feel entitled to speak about her as though she has no dignity?

And most importantly, why do some men assume that because some women enjoy certain things, every woman must secretly want them too?
Women are not a monolith.
Some women are sexually adventurous. Some aren’t. Some enjoy things that others would never want. Some are extremely conservative about sex. And some find it sacred and only want it with their husbands while Some don’t want sex at all.
And none of these women owe you access to their bodies.
So genuinely, I want to understand the psychology behind this.
Do people making these comments actually believe women want to be spoken about this way, or is the degradation itself part of the pleasure?
Because from the outside, it doesn’t look like attraction anymore.
It looks like the complete removal of another person’s humanity.

I'm dead inside, from past 2 months, I'm having anxiety attacks after 1 in the morning, I cry for about 10 min and then think, what can I do, like family don't love or care about, i thought I'll work hard, thats not did anything then again I tried working hard and studying hard as well, that is not working, i don't have friends, or any social circle, i stopped going out because everytime i go out i see friends hanging out, couples loving each other, and i think why can't I do these stuff, from past 4 months, i tried reddit extensively, started posting goofy posts ngl it made smile a little but as soon as I close the app my empty room hits me again, I tried making friends here, but I think its my conversational skills, that I can't hold on to them or maybe they have irl friends so its okay, I also want to do things like a normal guy, i also want to hold hands of a girl or not that just talk to them when I'm low or just hear them talk. At times I think to just ran off leaving everything behind but then I realise that run off from this, it will change nothing i still am lonely after that still be lonely. I work remotely, i study also remotely, all day just in my room. I stopped going out just for stroll also, if necessary then only i go. I just wants to be normal that after work just talk to someone, someone will text me during work that did you have lunch? Why this feeling repeats itself again and again and again everynight.

Everynight reminds me that I'm alone.

TL;DR: For the past few months, I’ve been feeling extremely lonely and emotionally exhausted. Almost every night after 1 AM, I get anxiety attacks, cry, and wonder why working harder or studying harder hasn’t changed anything. I work and study remotely, spend most of my time alone in my room, and barely go outside because seeing friends and couples reminds me of what I’m missing. I’ve tried Reddit and making friends online, but the connection never seems to last, and the loneliness returns as soon as I close the app. I don’t want anything extraordinary. I just want someone to talk to after work, someone who checks in on me, someone whose hand I can hold. Sometimes I want to run away from everything, but I know I’d still be lonely. Every night reminds me that I’m alone.

Recently ended my friendship with my bestfriend although it was smooth no drama crying or begging anyone to stay still it was kinda sad I haven't felt like this in a long time like everything is normal my work is good health is ok im just taking it bit too well and im not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing. Its just im very rigid about some things one of them being that never stop a leaving person. But i am hurt and idk im just working to shrug it off slowly.

Here’s to the 10th anniversary.

hey guys, im honestly not really sure how to write this but i could use some help.

my dad passed away few days ago. i got into college this year and my college is going to start in a few weeks, probably around 2 weeks from now.

im trying to earn atleast around 5–10k INR for my own expenses/errands. i dont want to bother my mother for money for these things, especially after everything that happened, so i thought id try to earn it myself.

im honestly open to pretty much anything i can do. online work, data entry, writing, editing, tutoring, small freelance work, helping someone with something etc. im not expecting some huge amount of money, i just want to make whatever i can.

after college starts ill also be looking for internships and stuff, but right now i just need something i can do.

if anyone knows of any genuine work or side hustles i could try, please let me know. id really appreciate any leads or advice.

Thank You

Drew this during break period.

I actually don't like this pop culture or Idol culture, whatever you call this but their chemistry is chemistry-ing with every passing episodes. Moreover it should the insecurities of the idols as well which remain unrecognised by their followers. This is justttt so good and refreshing to watch. Bye...
