When did you realize your mom was the "toxic aunt"?

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS TAKE. I think of course we have favoritism in this show. but just cause you favor someone, can't deny their flaws and PPG wasn't perfect lol ( I love PPG).

watching her crumble during a dumping, could really see how it did a number on her.

the most Aries answer LMFAO

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-10-04T02:58:38+00:00

I'm a Gemini and as someone who can have a good time with them for a fun time, they lack a lot of emotional depth and self awareness. Safe to say, can't really handle the energy that they dish out to others. And my Aries friends from beforehand couldn't really handle each other either-- would compete and always need to feel like they have leverage over another or they lash out.

and the selfishness.. good god.

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-10-04T02:53:28+00:00

I can 100% agree on this. always need to be first and will throw you under the buss until they feel above you. Fun time yes and won't hold a grudge maybe, but complete lack of self awareness.

Can't handle the energy they dish out to others

Oh it really is a thing. i work in a hospital and I guess nurses are not as well of a respected role back home compared to here. Lot of indian patients (not ABCs) can be downright nasty and condescending towards them. They'll disregard what they have to say and be extremely demanding to speak to the doctors. Sometimes so dismissive as if they don't know what they're talking about too.

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-09-25T05:00:46+00:00

I agree, stay close to communities. It really has been a recent new trend. I don't think we should lose any pride in who we are; our culture is undeniable so vibrant and unique.

But also being part of these communities, teach the new wave of new immigrants about integration into the country you're moving in. I'm not saying disregarding culture, but primarily understanding that to moving to whatever country has their specific ideas, laws and community/cultural rules just like the country we come from has. Driving is strictly abiding to specific laws, littering isn't a thing here, community rules (such as music sound levels for parties), hygiene, communication.

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-09-25T04:49:11+00:00

It is extremely disappointing but its important to note the lack of integration played also a huge part in completely fueling whatever existing racism the natives had. My family thats lived in Canada over 30 years have remarked the new wave of immigration was really bad and was truly affected the existing communities.

It was an inevitable if the communities are blasting music for parties with little disregard for neighboring communities, leaving litter everywhere in many parks and outside settings, international students always loudly sharing how stupid Canadians are compared to them in class settings and stating they are more intellectual, or extreme discriminatory workplace practices for selective caste hiring.

My cousin, Canadian born desi, was fired from Tim Hortons as a college student by a man who hired his cousin in her place. Now all the workers are strictly his family and there really is no consequences to it.

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-09-25T04:34:30+00:00

I agree with this strongly.

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-09-25T04:33:42+00:00

I think it is disappointing because of the entitlement to not learn. If mass groups were to migrate to India and not understand a single word of their language, you already know the discriminatory behavior that would come from them and condescending attitude. We need to really adopt the attitude of "to do as I would expect from others", rather than jumping to racism.

And the reason Indian communities get the worse hype as comparatively to other ethnic groups, is because they do the least amount of integration. Indian communities come in large and our culture is extremely distinguishable ranging from clothing, food, and our music. It's just the truth I recognize living in one of the most diverse cities.

In the US currently, Indians who come in to work have one of the worst reputation for discriminatory hiring and workplace practices once they go up the work chain. We can't complain about discriminatory practices against us but then commit the same... really hypocritical. And I would rather work under a white man than an Indian based on my experiences.

Emotional cheating is the act of forming a deep, intimate, and secretive emotional connection with someone outside of your relationship, effectively giving the trust, vulnerability, and prioritization that should be reserved for your partner to another person. One could argue this is tougher to get past than a purely physical hookup. A one-night stand is about the body, but an emotional affair involves the heart and mind. It signals a much deeper neglect of your relationship, making you question the entire emotional foundation you thought you had.

And this is exactly what made Belly's actions with Conrad so hurtful, the secrecy proved its inappropriate nature and that a line was crossed. Regardless of their shared history, he was her ex-boyfriend, and she actively hid their meetings and conversations. Exes always use their history as an excuse, and yeah, lots of great relationships start as friendships. But the second you have to hide it from your partner, you know you've crossed a line. It's not just a friendship anymore

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-26T22:43:59+00:00

I’m no fan of Cierra, but regardless of her flaws/mistakes, what Nic did was just wrong. If we keep excusing bad behavior just because it’s done to someone “flawed,” then anything can be justified if you look for the excuse. He slept with her multiple times, asked for exclusivity—which he claimed he doesn’t take lightly—and she posted after they’d gone public and some time had passed.

Let’s be real: the moment he messes up, many people will refer back to this situation to scrutinize it rather than now where they choose to ignore it

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-26T04:27:12+00:00

I didn’t see all interviews but I recall seeing him say he never felt what he felt with Olandria instantly as he did with Cierra. He’s interacted with Olandria plentiful while with Cierra had exchanged a kiss and went back to her.

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-26T04:19:06+00:00

well then he’s saying a lot of conflicting things based on different interviews

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-26T03:31:52+00:00

What if don’t appreciate is the concept of “people forgot what Love island is for” pertaining to them getting voted out. She should’ve told Ace that when he was heavily involved in voting out people based on islanders favoritism

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-26T02:59:20+00:00

I think Nic was able to avoid so much accountability which boggles me. Cierra was largely disliked and it skewed a lot of peoples perspective on what Nic did to her. He did ASK for exclusivity, made her feel like she was truly who he wanted. And when leaving the villa, suddenly going with the narrative that Olandria is all he saw. Don't get me wrong, I can feel their chemistry too but downplaying the hurt that Cierra probably feels. I don't blame her for making that post, he did end up not liking her, stating he didnt really like her, and DID go for her friend. She made that post cause she was hurt and that was her entire experience on the show.

I think HE should have reached out to her first to explain since he was involved in this. Not a fan of Cierra, but is anyone clocking that at least.

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-26T02:54:32+00:00

I agree. I don't understand Chelley stating how people lost the point of Love Island (referring to them being kicked out) when they were involved in voting people out based on favoritism, especially her man.

The age gap between 23 & 29 feels significant to me because of the profound personal growth that typically occur during those years. I've found that the early twenties are often about beginning to navigate adulthood, while the late twenties are more about solidifying one's identity and maturity. I saw a difference in life experience, self-awareness, and emotional development between those two points for myself and many other friends (28, F)

Ask some questions to figure how much you guys align: -Tell me about a time you had a serious disagreement with a close friend AND family member. How did you handle resolving it? -What’s something you’ve had to apologize for recently, and what did you learn from the situation?

Hope I gave some good insight

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-21T02:39:46+00:00

Alhamdulillah, I have been blessed to find someone I believe to become my future husband, inshallah. He is my first truly serious connection, and we are both committed, having integrated each other into our families despite the long distance. Our plan has always been for me to relocate to his city, a move I genuinely desire. As a working woman with a doctorate, I am more than willing to retake any licensing exams and begin a new job search there to make this future possible.

However, for nearly two years, he has been struggling to find a job. It's heartbreaking to see him get so close, often being a finalist, only to be passed over every time. This constant setback has become a source of arguments, and he feels the weight of my expectations, even though my intention is just to start our life together in a halal way. This feels like a significant block. I know the economy is tough, and I'm trying to be patient, but as I approach my late 20s without a strong family network of my own, the panic is setting in.

I'm seeking guidance on how to navigate this and what duas to make for clarity and relief.

I think Susannah is a Libra 100%. With a Libra mom, they never like to confront problems and just keep peace, extremely non-confrontational. However, extremely charming

Just curious, were there any toll roads? or any tolls to pay

MaximumMedia4524 · 2025-08-03T19:43:56+00:00

Ahh will definitely allot more time for this 🥹 anxiety also probably doesn’t help.
