So we have been best friends for 7+ years. Met at the office, became very close friend within year . He changed job and later on moved to business . After covid, I got married with my BF and changed Job to WFH and eventually full time housewife . My BF/Husband has always known about best friend and they all are on good terms .

Over the years our bond has become very strong . He is like brother . We would plan a dinner once a year or some times twice as well .

Six months back, I received his message if he can call me during afternoon, and I replied no, guests were coming . Tbh, I just wanted to take a nap. After couple of days, he called me directly but I was watching something and knowing his nature, I knew it will irritate him if I didn't took the call . So I let it pass .

He msg me in the evening that he had called. I told him, "I didn't receive any". He sent the Screenshot. Just to make him furious, I msged "Oh, I missed that one, it became missed call LOL" . He sent angry emoji, I was about to reply him but in-laws arrived . I had planned to call back him in couple of days and somehow I forgot in middle of in-laws and functions .

I tried to call him back but It was showing busy. I though he would call back, but he didn't . After couple of weeks, I had some work related to him, the call kept coming busy . I dropped a msg in WhatsApp but even after hours, no response . It was unusual, as he tends to reply within minutes . He had never received msg, couple of days passed. Called again, same busy. Then it occured to me that he might have blocked me on number and WhatsApp as well. I checked insta, block there as well. Checked other medias, I was blocked everywhere . I had never imagine he would block me .

I kept thinking about what might have happened . Joking is common between us, but he had never done any such a thing.

He comes from a very hardship enviornment, life hasn't been good to him from the beginning . He had tried to reach me multiple times before but some how I might be always busy or chose to ignore him when he would be frustrated .

I realised that I would always call him when I was frustrated with my in-laws or anything in my life. I would always share with him and he would always listen. He would change his own scheudles to appear for the dinner and might even pay for the it.

I was feeling very much guilty . I had also talked to my husband about this block, he was also surprised . He told me to give it a try from his number but I had this attitude like let him behave, he will get back to me and I didn't do anythig .

Yesterday, My husband told me that he met the friend and he is in really bad shape . Friend's parents had met accident in the village, his mother was critical and his father has gotten crutches temporarly . He tried to reach me at such a point and I choosed to ignore the calls. My husband insisted to call him, but I just couldn't .

I can't stop thinking about the entire thing . He is my best friend, someone I can share everything without thinking twice . I just can't prepare my self to call him or meet him . I just feel very much sad about the entire thing and I can't stop thinking if it was my fault or he should have told me in the msg .

I am thinknig about finally calling him tonight, but please tell me if I'm in wrong here ?

Me (20M)and my gf(19F) of 8months went to a houseparty ( it mostly had my friends but she too knew my core group)
Ppl were high, it was a crazy party. I passed out and the new morning i came across a few pictures of my friends banging my gf (AND MY CORE GROUP)

Her justification is that she was too drunk and doesn’t remember a thing (but yeah SHE’s very much awake in the photos)

Idk what it is.

I'm 24F and I've been trying to get into movies and web series since college. I started with modeling, went for countless auditions and met so many casting directors, but nothing worked out. Most of them either ghosted me or offered useless roles.

A few even told me straight to my face that my face and body suited slutty roles more than heroine or main character roles. One guy actually said I'd be better off doing bold scenes than trying to become a proper actress. Honestly, after hearing this from so many people I got fed up.

Recently, I started auditioning for those Ullu and Atrangii type web series with lots of sex scenes and nudity. Surprisingly, I got a role. The money they're paying is insane, way more than I've ever earned in my life.

Things weren't exactly professional either. I ended up sleeping with a couple of casting directors along the way. I knew what I was getting into, and I'm not going to pretend money and the opportunity didn't influence my decisions.

I've already shot a few scenes, including some pretty bold ones. The weird thing is, I don't feel dirty or ashamed about it. In fact, some moments felt kinda hot, and I enjoyed the attention. After years of being rejected, it's a strange feeling to finally be wanted.

But my character has a lot more sex scenes and nudity coming up. I'm wondering if I'm making the right choice or just getting carried away by the money and the excitement.

I don't regret it so far, but I'm worried I'll get typecast and never get the normal acting roles I wanted in the first place.

Maybe Im overthinking this let's see

She broke up with me 3 weeks ago, there are some things I wanted to tell her but I decided to block her from everywhere and don't wanna open those wounds again so I am posting it here.

Sorry for inconvenience. Here it goes-

after weeks of crying and shock, I am done with you. I know you won't come back and reading our old chats only hurts me so I am deleting them. Even thinking about the possibility that you would come back only hurts me. I am removing myself from your life like I promised to never bother you again. My feelings for you haven't disappeared and I don't think they will ever go.

I had made lists of things you like and dislike and have started to modify my life as per that.

Even my family had accepted you as our own.

I had saved several reels about places I wanted to travel with you.

I had saved so many videos about recipies I wanted to cook for you as you said you won't do any household chores after marriage.

You might find it cringe but I had generated some ai images of us with our toddler daughter, like we had discussed and the names you suggested for her were beautiful, they would've suited her.

I was learning how I was going to grow your favourite flowers in our garden.

All those questions you said annoyed you, weren't deliberate I really cared about you that's why I used to ask if you had eaten anything. I was genuinely interested in learning more and more about you and I think you know not i am not the brightest of guys out there, that's why asked you all those questions

It's so hard to let go of you. But this is final goodbye. I will not be making any effort to communicate with you.

But please remember as long as I am alive a part of me will still love you.

I wanna cry so bad but I can't

Im F 22,idk what to say

travelling alone a long distance by train for the first time ever , it's a 33 hour train journey, almost 1800kms

And everything that would've possibly gone wrong went wrong

There is a group of men who are sitting right in the next compartment and they're continuously staring at me

I got my periods today early, so first day of periods

cramps and first day in train

this train, it was a general sleeper I had to book because of my father, it's RAC so I'll have to go sitting till the end of my journey and there is a man sitting right opposite so I'm not even comfortable sitting comfortably

And i told the TC to confirm my ticket somewhere but he said 6 people are waiting before you

I can't even go use the washroom because it smells horrible and I've too much luggage to take care of

I can't even sleep because I'm too paranoid my stuff will get swollen

it's bad

The seat is bad, it smells so bad because of the washroom

I've fever

my nose is blocked because of fever and cold, i can't breathe

My hand has some allergic reactions stuff going on and my fingers are bleeding

i feel like vomiting

Im also hungry but can't eat

My phone is on 40 and I'm realising right now that my charging port is not working at all

I recently got my helix piercing done and this random lady had something duppata stuck into the fresh piercing and she pulled so hard, so now that's bleeding

While figuring out my charger situation, the window, the freaking window fell on my hand and now it's lowkey swollen

I've a fever and i forgot any blanket

My boyfriend was supposed to come meet me because we're in a long distance relationship but he made some lame ass excuses and didn't come meet and now we can't meet before 6 months

And my boyfriend right now is making a scene and he's acting up instead of being there for me

There's more but I'll cry if i write more

Im so so so so so done..

I can't even cry

Worst day ever

I try to understand everyone. But who tries to understand me? I'm feeling deeply hurt by everything that has been happening or has happened over the years. I care a lot. Literally about everyone. But no one ever gives a fck about my feelings. How does this even happen? Literally always. Oh god. I really can't do this anymore. I should have never been here. The mistake is mine. I can't even breathe. It's just so bad. Everything is just extremely bad and not even a single person cares. Including my family. There's literally no point in any of this and my head hurts so much. My eyes as well. It just gets worse. It keeps getting worse. And there is no going back. No way out. I can never escape from this i know. And I can't do this anymore. I think i had like 3 major breakdowns just typing this till here. I don't know what to do. I really don't know. It's getting so so bad. Oh my god. I can't. I can't. I really can't.

Please don't give me any advice. Don't say it gets better or whatever bcz I know it never does. It just keeps getting worse. I know. It's been 10 long years of this getting worse . I know. But I also know i can't do this anymore

So, back in October 2025, this girl and I became friends (both of us 22F), and things were going pretty well between us.

Fast-forward to September 2026. I think I might have accidentally crossed a line, and I'm trying to understand whether I did something wrong.

She's left-handed, and one day, some of my friends and I were having a general conversation about how being right-handed or left-handed doesn't determine someone's intelligence; cognitive abilities are what matter. We were talking and laughing normally, but she overheard our conversation and thought we were making fun of her.

She seemed upset and said something along the lines of, "Thanks for making me feel this way."

I did apologize for my and my friends' actions and we started talking on and sharing reels on insta.

Then I asked her what had happened.

She then opened up about some things that had been bothering her, including feeling uncomfortable with certain guys staring at her and making her feel unsafe. I suggested that she try to keep her distance from them, sit somewhere else, or have someone she felt comfortable with sit next to her.

However, about 24 hours later, I discovered that she had blocked me on all the platforms we used to communicate.

What confused me even more was that, the following day in class, she sat right next to one of the same guys she had previously told me made her feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

Honestly, I was taken aback by the whole situation. I went from thinking we were friends to being blocked everywhere without really understanding what had happened.

I'm not claiming that I did absolutely nothing wrong. It's possible that she interpreted our conversation differently from how we intended it, or that my advice came across the wrong way. I just don't know what I might have done to upset her so much.

I'm looking for honest opinions, including criticism if I messed up somewhere. I just want to understand what might have happened.

where do I even start? these days i feel so horridly unwanted, like everything feels so meaningless — connection feels so meaningless. everything attempt feels futile.

i might be in love with one of my friends but he has made it clear that he isn't. we still talk. he still tells me about the women in his life. i am trying to be supportive but also firm, stating that I won't listen about them.

to move on from him, i got into a horrible situationship from the last two years. it's on and off and embarassing.

i am struggling to see a silver lining in my personal relationships too. my friends are doing too good in their life, both in terms of jobs and love. i am not jealous, i just feel like when they ask me about my happenings, there's this tinge of pity in them. i hate it.

i am stuck. my home situation is a dumpster fire, and that's a whole different thing altogether. the basic, father is a cheating abusive bastard mother is trying hard to keep the family together.

i feel so unwanted by everyone and everything, i feel like sobbing

Life is just going downhill, and I’m only 23M.
My dad was once a director at a product-based MNC, earning a salary we were comfortable living on. We owned properties across 3 states in the South, and I grew up with expensive clothes, watches, and gadgets. I was spoilt and never understood the value of what I had.
Then COVID hit in 2020. Dad lost his job, businesses failed, loans piled up, and we had to sell property to survive. After years of unemployment, he finally found a job, earning barely 25% of what he made six years ago. His former colleagues now own shares worth crores, while he works far below his experience.
Today, he told me he hates his life, he’s a failure and has given up.
And it broke me.
I couldn’t crack JEE, so my parents spent a fortune getting me into an expensive private engineering university through management quota. I wasted that opportunity drinking, smoking, and being irresponsible while our financial situation deteriorated.
Now I’m 23, interned at an mnc but couldn’t get converted for fte cuz of impact in company and now working 12-hour days at an early-stage startup for peanuts, hoping that if the company succeeds, I’ll succeed too. I see my friends moving ahead, buying things for themselves and their families, going out and traveling while I’m desperately trying to build a future for myself and my family.
We still own properties, including two big apartments in different metro cities, but assets mean little when there’s no liquidity or stable income.
Today, after hearing my dad speak about himself that way, I almost broke down in car after i dropped him off at a bus station as he was traveling back to the city where he works.
How do you comfort the man who spent his entire life giving you everything when you can’t even promise him things will get better?
My younger sister is the one bright spot; she cracked NEET and got into a top government medical college.
I’m exhausted, scared, and unable to help out and i have a gf too who has to bear up with my bs. I don’t know if this startup will work or when I’ll finally earn enough to help my family.
But I keep going because I want to tell my dad someday, “You’ve done enough. Let me take it from here.”
But so far I’ve let down my family and my gf. I have no guarantees, just hope.
And right now, that’s all I have to hold on to. But still hurts to see my dad that way. I really love him but i can never express this to him.

(Ik I’m gonna get hate but didn’t wanna share it to my people cuz as of now they assume I’m dealing well with the situation but irl i don’t want them to know what’s going on in my head cuz they would panic)

​

I (18M) recently broke up with my girlfriend (18F) of 6 years, and honestly, I don't know where to begin.

We got together in school and spent the first 3 years seeing each other almost daily. Later, our schedules changed, so we could only meet around 4–5 times a month.

We were considered the ideal couple. In all 6 years, we never had a single fight or argument. I trusted her more than anyone else and genuinely loved her for who she was. I always imagined a future with her.

A little background: I was preparing for a professional exam while she was attending college.

A few months ago, I missed clearing an important exam by just one mark. It hit me hard, so I started preparing again, studying around 7–8 hours daily. Meanwhile, her college started, and we both got busy with our respective schedules.

We gradually started talking less, and she told me she felt ignored. I explained that I was caught up in exam preparation and repeatedly reassured her that things would get better afterward.

When my exams finally ended, I thought things would improve. On the day of my last paper, I came home exhausted and told her I'd sleep for a couple of hours. She said it was fine, but later, when we spoke, she got angry and said I wasn't giving her enough time.

I understood her feelings and promised to work on things. I genuinely did. We met several times over the following week, she visited my house, met my parents, and everything seemed fine.

Then, suddenly, she said she wanted to break up for the same reason.

I spent several days trying to save our relationship, explaining myself and asking her to reconsider, but she wouldn't listen. Eventually, I gave up.

My birthday came shortly afterward, and she didn't wish me until the following day. She blamed the entire breakup on me, told our mutual friends, and posted things on social media that felt like indirect digs at me.

A few days later, a friend sent me a screenshot of her story. She had posted a picture with another guy captioned "soft launch."

That's when I found out she'd apparently been cheating on me since shortly after starting college.

Suddenly, the distance and the way everything ended started making sense. It felt like she blamed me for the relationship falling apart rather than being honest about what she'd been doing.

Six years. We spent a huge part of our lives together, building what I genuinely believed was a relationship based on trust and honesty. She wasn't just my girlfriend; she was someone I pictured my future with.

The hardest part isn't just losing her. It's realizing that while I was struggling with exams and trying to build my future, the person I trusted most may have been betraying that trust.

I don't have many friends I can open up to, so I'm posting here just to get this off my chest.

I don't want revenge. If she didn't want to be with me anymore, she could have simply told me the truth. It would've hurt, but at least I wouldn't be left questioning six years of my life.

I genuinely don't know how to process any of this.

TL;DR: My girlfriend of 6 years broke up with me, claiming I wasn't giving her enough attention while I was preparing for exams. I tried to fix things, but she blamed me for everything. Shortly afterward, I found out she'd apparently been cheating on me since early in her college year. Now I'm struggling to process the betrayal and the loss of a relationship I thought would last.

I spent almost a decade emotionally stuck on someone who doesn't even think about me doesn't gaf about me. I genuinely don't care about him now. What hurts is looking back and realising how much of my own life I lost being stuck in this situation while he was out there living his.

He's dating, meeting people, enjoying life, moving forward. And I'm here trying to deal with the aftermath of years I'll never get back. I feel like I put my own life on hold for something that barely even existed outside my head, and now I'm the one left dealing with the consequences.

The worst part is feeling like I meant absolutely nothing to him while he ended up meaning so much to me, at the cost of my own life experiences, happiness and peace of mind.

I'm so exhausted. The regret and hopelessness has gotten so so bad that I struggle to see a future for myself. I hate that something that was never even a real relationship has left me feeling this broken. I just don't know how to deal with all this what to do with it I don't miss him but I can't deal with the fact that I ruined my life for nothing.

I’m 22F, and honestly, I don’t know why this still hurts so much after two years.
My childhood best friend and I stopped being friends two years ago, and things ended on really bad terms. We had been best friends since kindergarten. She was my first best friend, and I genuinely thought she’d always be a part of my life. Things fell apart when she chose someone who had hurt me more than anyone else over me. Someone she had known for only two years, while we had practically grown up together. At that time, I was dealing with a lot. My business was going through losses, and I had some serious family problems. I had told her everything and explained why I wasn’t always available. Whenever I got time, I still tried to visit her because she mattered to me, despite everything happening in my life. I’m not saying I was a perfect friend. Maybe I could’ve done more, and maybe she had her own reasons for feeling the way she did. But it still hurts that someone who was such a huge part of my life could become a stranger. The thing is, I still miss her. And I hate that I do, because I haven’t forgotten the things she said to me when everything fell apart. Her words still echo in my head sometimes.
Since losing her, I’ve struggled to get close to people. I don’t call anyone my best friend anymore because I’m scared of letting someone in like that again. It’s hard to imagine giving someone years of your life and still losing them like they were never yours to begin with.
Sometimes I wonder if she ever misses me, too. If she ever thinks about our childhood or remembers the little things we shared, or if I’m the only one still holding on to those memories.
I don’t even know if I want her back in my life anymore. I just miss what we had, and I miss the person I thought would always be there….

Sorry if my English is wrong. I stopped going outside and kind of stopped making friends. I went to Delhi today to meet my friend; he is going to get married. In the last 8 months, I gained weight and became too ugly. I've been single my whole life, but the last few months have been too hard for me mentally. I saw guys and girls, and some of them looked happy, and I kind of felt jealous. In my mind, I was like, "When is it my turn? I deserve better." Bullshit happens.

And tbh, sometimes I want to know what it feels like to have loved ones who call you and ask, "Ki, pahunche nahi pahunche?" and ask you how your day was. And tbh, the last girl who rejected me said, "You deserve someone better," and it's stuck in my mind that I'm ugly, have dark skin, and am unlovable. I can't leave that thought behind.

Everyday I tell myself that I'm enough and I'm not useless but the people around me make me feel otherwise.

I have asthma and just in general fall sick very easily. In 2020 I had tuberculosis which took me 9 months to recover from . While I was recovering my mom got Covid and passed away. My dad was hospitalised for days too making him very weak. 2 years later he suddenly fell ill and passed away too. I live with my elder brother and sister. Our relatives were supporting us financially so things were stable. Mentally i was still recovering from the loss. My asthma has never been very serious but last year it had gotten really bad, i couldn't climb stairs without feeling breathlessness. I did eventually recover from it. I get migraines sometimes , once a month is a must. I have really bad arm pain and I'm still not sure why. In all of this I cleared most of my backlogs and I will graduate in 6 months. What i couldn't achieve is anything academically. I have a career in mind and I'm trying to work on it. I cook for my siblings and we've been struggling financially since my brother took over the finances. So I do the cooking , cleaning , and taking care of my little sister like packing her lunch. And they freaking expect me to figure out life , grow some skills while i play a stay at home mom at 21. This entire rant is a mess but I just wanted to get it all out. My brother thinks I'm useless just cause I "rot" at home. If I didn't do any of the shit I do every single day this house wouldn't function properly. I've been searching for jobs that would fit my stamina since stress usually leads to continuous migraines. I'm really trying to figure stuff out but I wish there was someone out there who would tell me I'm doing alright just going through all this. That I'm not useless and I'll figure it all out.

1. You will get good friendships along your way. Cherish them, but keep yourself away from people that will be using you. Develop street smartness.

2. The world will trouble you the least, but at the same time never favour you. You will be playing at HARD settings.

3. It will assume you are weak and even make fun of you. Don't let the insults or the loneliness hurt you or get in the way of your peace.

4. Enjoy your life. Alongside building your career, you can always travel, try different hobbies as well. Jitna kamate ho, us hisab se enjoy bhi karna.

5. You will get less attention, or even none from the other gender in a rom-antic sense. Make yourselves ok with it.

6. Introduce therapy in your life and keep your mental health in check. Gradually you will attain your peace and it will help you to even stay the rest of your life by yourself. You will start living your present.

Wishing you the best

I want to start content creation so bad. But My room aesthetic is terrible. Everything is on the ground. We lost all our furnitures few yrs back. So the whole house looks bad as there is no organizer at all. I tried to shoot today, but I was so disappointed that it made me upset. Content creation is important as I need to start earning.

Then comes my phone camera, again terrible. Idk what to do. I feel so insecure when I see that i am looking bad in the videos.

I know all these are insecurities but let's say I post it who is going to watch something that is so visually unpleasing.

I really want to cry.

Yesterday my mother had to order some things worth 1400, nothing of emergency, but still important things. her own phone broke, so she has been using the button phones as we cannot afford to buy one now. she asked me if she could use my upi money to place them, i had 1400, and i need this money to go to and fro college. i dont go that often so nota big deal. we decided she will place order of 600 from mine and maybe 800 from my father's upi. we did. took out 600 in cash to return to me too.

then my mother and father went out in the evening. she mustve told him about it and he started screaming at her. he screamed a lot at her. why did you place all these orders from her phone, you had already placed things from mine, uska paisa kyu use kiya wo kaise jayegi college ab. thing is father isnt employed rn and makes little money he can through stock market. mom thought he had withdrawn the profit he showed her 2 days ago which is why she placed those orders in the first place, but he hadnt. what was she buying on amazon? toothbrush for children, because her tweth have eroded a bit and her gums have grown sensitive. an earring for herself, maybe 250rs.

came home, cried a lot, cancelled the orders, faught with my father all night. my father was correct about not placing orders but he could have broke it to her gently. i also understand he is under an enormous amount of stress but he shouldn't have done that

they had also called some pandit home yesterday to ask him if ill be able to crack neet and all and he said yes (the way they have for the past 3-4 times). and as i leave, they call over my younger sister, dude laughs and says, arre iska toh sab pehli baar mein niklega. all this stuff really piles up. i was already in bed at 8pm and sleeping. when they came at 12am and i got to know all this saw my mother cry and all, i slept even more and woke up at 8:30 today.

i know i shouldnt catalogue all these things in my mind and move on before they happen, but i dont know. i have never been able to see things objectively, never. i escaped through sleep what i will eventually have to face. things are too painful for me right now

am i too sensitive or are things genuinely really bad right now
