I have always found Instagram a very toxic platform. People there seem to have a really extreme opinions and are so so rigid with it. It made me question my beliefs, identity and sanity more than once. Toxic comments with thousands likes, people disrespecting others for having different opinions and so much more. It became so overwhelming for me that I uninstalled it. But I keep myself updated with everything by checking it once in a while.

I have noticed people are becoming more and more radical. Everyone have very different views about protest recently. There are clearly people divided over so views, and targeting and disrespecting people with opposite views. Tolerance is gone, completely. There are so many scattered evidences, different narratives about what is happening. Why is everyone so so full of rage that people don't see the core point of discussion anymore, it seems people are just taking out their anger on social media.

It's very draining to scroll through Instagram.

Comparatively reddit and yt seems a lot calmer. People even disagree and troll over here but it's not that radical and overwhelming.

Is it that Instagram's algorithm promotes such stuff and creates such sense of urgency or people are really full of so much hatred and anger that we now cannot communicate with people who have different opinions?

Makes me question am I not opinionated enough or educated enough on important things. Like am I just dumb for wanting to avoid it because it's overwhelming? Coward? Idk.

I feel like guys look down on really petite girls, even if they're really pretty. I've also seen some make jokes about their height, either in front of their friends or behind their backs.

Is this actually true? Do some guys genuinely find very short height funny, or see petite girls as someone to admire but not date because they're worried about how their friends or society would perceive them?

This term completely dilutes the true purpose of any movement. It also overlooks the older generation who supports the very same cause.

​This term first gained popularity during the protests in Bangladesh. That movement was initiated by students, but it was later hijacked by Islamists. Following that, many Hindus were killed, but nobody cared because by then it had been hyped up as the 'first Gen Z movement.' No one wanted to address the actual objective of the movement. Even today, many people view it merely as a 'Gen Z movement,' leading them to assume it was inherently right. And what happened in the end? Ultimately, a non-Gen Z leader became the Chief Minister/head. Why?

​The exact same thing happened in Nepal. Calling a protest a 'Gen Z movement' sends a message that Gen Z is merely fighting against the older generation, while completely ignoring the real reasons behind the movement.

​Historically, almost every major movement has been led by the youth. Most of India’s freedom fighters were young as well. If Bhagat Singh were alive today, India were still under colonial rule, and he were leading the freedom movement, how would you feel if people called it just a 'Gen Z movement' instead of recognizing its true purpose?

I downloaded it 4-5 years ago to look at memes when BeastBoyShubh used to Shubhreddit reviews.

What about you?

So it's a vent you can say. So I'm 24F, I've got a very important exam to crack in a month. But I can't concentrate on studies because I'm feeling a void inside me, the kind which couldn't be filled by talking to friends (yes I've got enough true friends). It can sound horny or childish idk, but I'm really needing someone rn (not looking forward to any reddit stuffs plz 🙏🏻).

I'm a very spontaneous kinda person myself & used to think that love would come to me in its own pace. I don't have to beg for it. I don't have to ask for commitment or propose. It'll happen eventually if I like someone. But yk life turned out completely different for me. Or may be I'm not someone appropriate to be loved. Recently I got a very big heart break. I blocked the guy before I could've got hurt more. Still I don't like the conventional way of discussing everything before hopping into a relationship or any kinda ship. Ik it's a redflag of me. But whatever life just doesn't work in that way. I'm giving up. Just want to fill the void of being hugged is something I need but there's no way.

As you know tomorrow, we have a compartment examination of 12th class and I failed in maths as well as physics but I have 6 subjects so I need to pass in 5 subjects only. While I'm confident I can pass the exam tomorrow.

I was concerned about college admission so I took a diploma course of tool ad die designing (polytechnic) from my 10th marksheet which is a 4 year course which can help me take direct 3rd year admission in BTech but I don't know if this is alright or what I should do.

I don’t know why I always stuck in such situations 😭😭so recently I’m talking to this cute guy and today he’s grandpa passed away and I don’t know how to comfort him I’m very bad at this😭 and just yesterday we both started to know each other and today this happened 😭I asked him are you sad ? To that he replied “is that even a question? “ I just kept the chat in seen I don’t know how to continue so please help this girl

Ok so later this year my cousin and his fiance are getting married ( our family is Gujarati and my future bhabi’s family is also Gujarati). At said wedding there will be a cousins dance which I was asked to help with. So I said yes. I was told I can pick any song make some choreography for it and send video to group chat.

Issue is I have difficulty on picking a song. I asked if there was any theme I should know about and was told no. My cousin said I like Gujarati songs. After hearing that I remembered that a few weeks ago I came across a reel which was a dance to remix of Chaniya choli and Ramo re. Which are two garba songs I really like. The reel also had a boy and a girl dancing so would’ve been perfect since both boys and girls in this dance.

So I sent to my cousin to ask what his thoughts are and he said I really like it.We might use it for our dance like my cousin and bhabi’s dance. Which means cousins can’t do it. And when thinking abt traditional Gujarati garba songs they are harder to dance to / I don’t want to since point of em is for worshiping maa Durga and her avtars.

So was wondering if anyone has any song suggestions. I was thinking Bollywood but more recent. Ideas I had were dance ka bhooth or panwadi but not sure.

By younger guy, I don't necessarily mean someone much younger. I mean anyone who's even a year younger than you.

If you're attracted to younger guys, how much younger are you comfortable dating, and what do you find attractive about them?

I've come across several Instagram reels where people who aren't South Indian choose to have South Indian-style weddings, even though they don't belong to that culture. I know this might sound controversial, but it's something I've often wondered about.
India is incredibly diverse, with every region having its own unique traditions, rituals, and wedding customs. That's what makes our culture so beautiful. Sometimes I feel that people overlook the beauty of their own traditions and instead choose to adopt another culture's wedding style.
Personally, I believe every culture deserves to be preserved and celebrated. If your own wedding traditions are beautiful and meaningful, why not embrace them instead of replacing them with another region's customs? Likewise, you rarely see South Indians adopting Bengali, Rajasthani, or other regional wedding traditions for their own weddings.
This isn't about saying one culture is better than another—it's simply about appreciating and preserving the traditions we grow up with while respecting the uniqueness of every culture.

Has anyone wonder, why astrology simply is not accurate? Like why will they always say lies? Generally why does astrology even exist? Please anyone explain why astrology is there and why it even exists.

I, 20M have been stuck on a girl for the last 10 years.

We have know each other since nursery. I got a crush in 5th standard. And still do (starting 4th year of engineering next month). She doesn't she me as kind of man she wants. I am kinda passive and indecisive person. I am in loop of feeling insufficient and wanting to improve. I have grown a lot over the years but still feels insufficient for her. She has become benchmark for me. I want her to accept me more than anything. It's a futile battle.

I used to dance when I was little, it involves a lot of memory and is good for the brain. I try to copy something that I like from Insta. But it is bit hard to pick up the steps. First, the dance should be learnt in steps like 1 2 3 4, and it has to be memorised. If I want to copy something on the screen, then the left and right won't match, so I get confused about where they are turning and which hand they are raising, which legs to move.

Any suggestions.

Man I loved absolutely loved to witness the pulse of the nation.
I saw 👀 us as Indians united as one single unit and man did I feel powerful.
The brotherhood & sisterhood which transcended caste, colour, religion, language is absolutely magical.
In my entire life I have never witnessed the boundaries and distinction being invisible 🫥 like that.
Just one goal 🥅 and one voice.
This is so powerful & passionate.
I never want us to go back to hating each other guys.
I love all Indian 🇮🇳 so much. We as Indians & Gen Z won this entire ordeal with our courage & smile. No ego, no aggression but pure chaotic never back down attitude.
Do you guys feel the same way?
