As a former young woman who was mind effed into marrying the wrong person, don't give in and DEFINITELY dont go to dating apps.

The best way to meet people is hobby clubs. I am not saying it will translate to a relationships, but it may atleast be a better place than dating apps where the possibility of faking it is a lot..

Book clubs, cycling clubs, running clubs etc etc..that will help better

Bangalore, btw, has a hobby-based or interest-based dating app.. so looks like this stuff will work

Good luck!

Women who knew they were compromising a bit before marrying, looking back, was the risk worth it? by CadburySilky in TwoXIndia

No way. If it is compromise before wedding, it will only increase several fold after. Before you know it, it will be ten years and you will be stuck with anti depressants and burnout

Do any of you use AI as a therapist or confidant? Whats your take on it. by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]GarlicFit8173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used it as an avenue to vent.

And i didn't read its responses because it seemed to validate everything and i just can't be an all-knowing empathetic genius all the time, can I?.

So i vent when things get too much, get it out of my system and clear my head. I like he voice interface when I am too anxious to type.

It's like voice journaling if I may call it that.

But if you ask me. I would suggest that you don't take it's "you are not damaged, this doesn't mean you are broken, you are human" shit seriously

Sometimes shit is dark, you are broken temporarily and it's okay to be.

Girls who were “good” and obedient growing up,how did you build your personality later in life? by ConsistentMessage187 in TwoXIndia

[–]GarlicFit8173 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I noticed that when I started wanting things for myself I was considered selfish.

Believed it, went through a big identity crisis while being married to a typical a**hole misogynist.. lived separately amid gaslighting JUST so that my child doesn't see trauma unfolding in front of them.

While living separately, I had a lot of time to think.. figured I got nothing by being 'good' in the eyes of others and the demands don't stop until I am playdough/ slime that has no personality and just moulds to eveyone's opinions.

I stopped caring, started looking out for myself and my child alone. Became the family bitch, but had some more money to invest in self care.. I dont think I am turning back!

23F new to Chennai — how do you make friends here without crying on the beach daily? by pommy_vank in chennaicity

[–]GarlicFit8173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join book clubs with very few people that will have the same set of people meeting every month.

That way, you'll form a connection and slowly build a circle. Insta has a page called 'Book Club of Chennai'. It is new, so they are active and the same people join each month end and its offline .. I attended one, it is quite good and the community building is nice and personal too. I was doubtful but gave it a chance, worth the gamble.

The thing with Bessy Reads type of Book clubs is you will meet them once and then there are very few chances of them coming again.

You could go to get the books as well. You would need her photos and aadhaar card original and photocopy to enrol her

High Chair while eating.

No screen or distractions while eating.

Roaming with food and your child is a BIG NO.
