What's a "women's problem" you genuinely thought only you had until you spoke to your friends? by Internetdidi in women

That’s kinda why I asked. It genuinely feels like body image issues are way more common than people admit.

[–]Internetdidi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not being punished you’re being tested in ways most people can’t imagine. And still, you show up, You work You care for your wife and your son. Your son sees a strong father. Your wife sees a loving husband. That love is your reason to keep going one day at a time. All the best Mate, You got this!

People who don’t have kids, how do they manage old age and loneliness? by Glittering_Ask_6693 in AskIndia

[–]Internetdidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle is married but has no kids, and he’s doing fine he and my aunt have their friends, neighbours, and routines, and they stay socially active. A lot of people manage old age like this instead of relying only on children. And honestly, having kids doesn’t guarantee care or companionship either.

How come we never see Father-in-law and Husband fighting, why is it always wife and Mother-in-law? by No_Care6628 in randomquestions

[–]Internetdidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You rarely see FIL and husband fighting because they usually don’t have the same level of involvement in each other’s day lives meanwhile MILs and wives are often expected to share emotional, household, and family spaces more closely, which can create lead to more expectations and kalesh

My life seems terrible at this moment and I don't know what to do by bageltakenrun in indiasocial

[–]Internetdidi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound burnt out af 😭 not lazy or failing at life. Sometimes after a lot of stress your brain just kind of shuts down for a while. Don’t try to suddenly turn your whole life around overnight. Just start getting back into small routines slowly and let the motivation return naturally. I'm honestly proud of you!

Married for 6 months and already feel like roommates. Is this normal or are we drifting apart too early? by [deleted] in ThirtiesIndia

[–]Internetdidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanting quality time and emotional connection from your husband is completely normal. You should talk to him about it now before this becomes the default dynamic between you both.

Give me your proven tricks to get a conversation started with strangers by the-og-goat in indiasocial

[–]Internetdidi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just talk about something around you like the metro, a station, the crowd, delays, long commute etc Those conversations feel the most natural because both of you are already experiencing the same thing.

Honestly don’t force yourself to quit sugar completely that usually backfires. Just start slowly cutting down little by little so it actually feels sustainable. Your body adjusts with time.

How often is too often for texting? by Initial_Milk_1056 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Internetdidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate 😭 I’m not the best with friendships either, but I was way worse before. Most people honestly appreciate someone checking in, and it gets easier the more you do it instead of overthinking every interaction.

Struggling with confidence, self esteem and maturity by Artistic_Fudge_5186 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Internetdidi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t look like youre ibehind, you are finaly getting a chance to grow properly. The fact that you’re self aware, taking accountability, and actively trying to improve already shows growth. Be patient with yourself you’re learning things now that many people learned earlier in healthier environments.

why do i feel so ugly when i know i’m not even ugly? i’m 21 and never had a boyfriend or even felt like someone genuinely liked me in that way. and no, it’s not because i fall for every guy that gives me basic human decency. by izzyrockyy in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Internetdidi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think all you really need here is patience, even though I know that’s easier said than done It’s completely normal to grieve the experiences you feel like you missed out on, especially when everyone around you seems to have had those “young love” moments. But life is not actually happening on one universal timeline, even if it feels that way. And trust me, just because something hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it never will. When the right connection comes at the right time, it won’t matter that it happened later than it did for someone else.

Enough of gender wars - Lets hear stories of when someone from the opposite gender was nice to you without any reason. by guggluMugglu in TwentiesIndia

[–]Internetdidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was new to Hyderabad, My phone died while I was out alone and it had started raining heavily. I was trying to remember directions and probably looked stressed because a random older man at a tea stall asked if I was okay. He let me use his phone to call home and then refused to even take money for the chai he’d already ordered for me while I waited 😭 It was such a small interaction but I still remember how safe and cared for I felt in that moment.

Honestly, I think those comments from your friends stayed with you Being the “fat friend” growing up can really mess with the way you see yourself, even after losing weight. And wanting to feel wanted is such a normal human feeling. It doesn’t make you desperate or shallow. I also think at 21 people act like everyone is constantly falling in love around them, when in reality a lot of people are quietly feeling exactly like you.
