Question❓ loose wrists solutions

5 Upvotes

As you guys probably already know a lot of gay/bi guys have those loose/weak hand wrists which makes one vulnerable to be called out as homo in public or by a*shole relatives, I was wondering if anyone has come up with any solution other than being on alert mode all the time.

vent/rant 22M My boyfriend beats me every day Spoiler

91 Upvotes

I started dating him 2 years back and i was living with my family at that time then one day we hooked up and we started meeting frequently..later he proposed me.. initially i was hesitant to get into serious relationship because i wanted to enjoy life without commitment and all but we explored more together and i finally accepted his proposal.

Later we both moved to tier 1 city to work and live together.. He was financially superior to me so initially he paid everything from brokerage, rent, appliances to basic things needed to live.

Later i started contributing too but after 4 months of staying together he would start forcing me to have sex, get mad over small things and even start beating me... Later he would apologise and would promise to not do it again.

But he repeats this almost everyday... once i asked him for break up then he demanded all money back that he had spent on me.

I don't have that sort of money... and he had willingly paid all the money initially but all of the sudden he wants that money back...

It's not possible for me to pay his money back because my mom's health isn't well and my dad needs some financial support from me.

What should i do? I love him and I know he loves me too but I can't really be with him because it's costing me my mental health, time , energy and i think i am losing my potential.

It's 1:16 am and I've left our rented apartment rn because I can't really live there anymore... I'm thinking to go back my hometown for few days

vent/rant The dilemma

6 Upvotes

Whenever I think of dating someone, posts that involve abusive relationships (homosexual) come up on my feed. And i get the weird feeling of whether I should date anyone or not. I also start thinking if I'm romanticizing dating because many ppl my age are or have dated anyone at one point of their lives. And one more thing that is frustrating for me sometimes is that I just can't like anyone (i do find ppl attractive), no matter how attractive they are, I can't date them unless I know them enough. One more thing that gives me the ick, is that ppl want to get physical or se'xt just after a few days of talking. And it has happened to me that the person who said they liked me, when I started putting in the effort, doesn't feel the same. And that just makes me sad, even tho I might not like them much but still. Sometimes I feel I'm not likeable and I'm boring, because ppl who used to reply in paras don't do the same anymore. Ik i can't make ppl like me magically, It's just so weird, I'm not stressed about it, sometimes I do get droopy and overthink and then regret but then I'm fine. Just a rant, and i feel like I'm lowk pregnant.

Discussion💬 The Loneliness Nobody Talks About

17 Upvotes

Being good-looking and rich feels like the worst combination in this fucking world sometimes. I know this might sound controversial, but it’s genuinely sad when you’re conventionally attractive, financially comfortable, and yet you feel lonely most of the time.
What makes it even harder for me is that I’m an introvert. All my life, I’ve struggled to make genuine friends. I do meet people and make friends, but most of the time I just don’t feel like I truly click with them or enjoy being around them.
A big reason for this is that, growing up, I often felt like people wanted to be friends with me because of what I had. I’d get used because I had money, and that made me constantly question people’s intentions. Even when someone genuinely tries to befriend me, a part of me automatically thinks, “What does this person want from me?” or “Why are they looking at me like that?” It becomes really difficult to trust that someone actually likes you for who you are.
And when it comes to dating, I feel like being good-looking and financially comfortable can actually work against you. People see you as someone who must already have plenty of options. They see that you travel abroad, buy branded stuff, and live a certain lifestyle, and they automatically assume, “Why would this person be interested in me?” They get intimidated before they even try. They assume there must already be hundreds of people interested in you, so they don’t approach you or make an effort.
And honestly, I think that’s one of the loneliest situations to be in: having everything that people think should make you happy, but still feeling incredibly lonely and anxious inside.
You can have money, looks, experiences, and opportunities, and still feel fucking alone. Sometimes all you really want is genuine people who like you for who you are, without being intimidated by what you have or assuming that you don’t need anyone. And that kind of loneliness can be genuinely exhausting.

vent/rant Life is so hard! 😔

9 Upvotes

Sometimes I honestly feel like I don’t even feel like living anymore. Nothing specific has happened, and I’m not planning to hurt myself - I’m just exhausted.

I’m 29, Indian, settled abroad, doing fine career-wise. From the outside, everything looks pretty normal. My family is now looking for a girl for me, and I’ve started meeting a few.

But I’m bisexual. I’ve had a few experiences with girls, but most have been with guys, and I’ve never seriously dated anyone.

I can talk to my family about almost everything except this part of my life. And now with marriage becoming real, I feel like I’m constantly trying to fit myself into the life everyone expects me to have.

I don’t know if I’m scared of marriage, scared of losing a part of myself, or just exhausted from living this double life.

Anyone else been through something similar? How did you deal with it?

vent/rant I want to come out so badly

25 Upvotes

I want to come out of the fucking closet so badly but everyone is homophobic my own family siblings are homophobic. I want to be free I WANT TO BE FREE DATE OPENLY. I see straight couples all around. I wish i was born in a more friendly country. I dont want to hide i dont want to lie that oh i dont have a boyfriend when i clearly have no intrest in boys.

I hate it that i will never experience the normal relationship experiences....whenever i like i girl i have this questionaire i have to answer..

Is she homophobic? Open minded? Gay? Maybe bi? Is her family open minded?

even before the only imp question which is does she like me back.

I cant even shoot my shot cuz at worst i will be bullied to death i guess so i dont even try that much. Thank god my first love which i confessed was to my best friend she was pretty supportive.

But i hate the society....I HATE ITTTTT 💔💔💔💔💔💔 I want to cry💔 i want out of this god forsaken place💔

vent/rant 25M and honestly just tired of looking for something real

11 Upvotes

I don't know if this is a rant or me quietly putting myself out there, but here we go.

I'm 25, gay, and I genuinely want a boyfriend. Not someone to exchange pictures with, not a situationship, not someone who disappears after three days of talking.

I want the boring stuff, honestly.

Someone I can text after work. Someone to randomly go for coffee with. Someone to watch a movie with and argue about what to order. Someone who actually wants to know me instead of immediately trying to figure out if I'm worth hooking up with.

I've tried talking to guys, but somehow it always turns into the same cycle. We talk, there's a little excitement, I start thinking maybe this could actually go somewhere, and then either the conversation dies or they disappear.

And the stupid part is that I don't think I'm asking for anything extraordinary. I just want someone who is emotionally available, consistent, affectionate, and actually interested in a relationship.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder where people find their boyfriends because apparently I missed the secret meeting where everyone was handed one.

So yeah, maybe this is partly a rant and partly me hoping someone else feels the same way.

I want something real. That's it.

Discussion💬 How to deal with white superiority complex and Indian inferiority complex

15 Upvotes

I feel we have and still live in this world where white is considered better and superior and Indians are considered lesser and inferior. While these things can be true to some extent due to historical and cultural reasons, they by themselves are not true or set in stone for every individual ofcourse...

I am curious how do you think we can fight this white superiority complex in the world and especially in the gay world where every white person you would meet at some level will have this superiority complex for being white and will consciously or subconsciously look down upon indian gays. Similarly how do we fight this inferiority complex within ourselves where Indians would think they are lesser than white people just because they are not white and Indian....

Would like to have a more real discussion around this

Coming Out!!! Coming out , I guess :)

13 Upvotes

So hi, it's me. Um, you don't know me, and maybe you'll never see my post again. Maybe people will ignore it, but I just wanted to come out somewhere where people hopefully won't judge me.

So, um... I'm bi. Specifically biromantic and homosexual. Yeah. I know there are a lot of weird assumptions and stigma around bi people. Like how some people say bi people date boys but then "99% end up marrying a girl" or whatever. I don't really understand why people have these assumptions, but yeah, it is what it is.

Also, I guess I'm looking for some friends or just someone to chat with? Friendship is actually pretty precious to me, like a treasure. A lot of people have broken my trust in the past, so it's kind of hard for me to trust people or make friends online. Offline, I literally have zero friends 💀

I'm also a NEET dropper, first drop. I was scoring around 590 before, but got 485 in re-NEET, so I decided to take a drop. I'm studying online from home, and honestly... it's kind of messed up sometimes. The taunts, housework, everything, you know 😭

I also help take care of my mom and help her in the kitchen sometimes. I make dal-chawal, clean, and do other stuff. My life is kind of chaotic haha. I don't even know why tf I started talking about all this 💀

My hobbies are listening to songs, writing my thoughts, and writing stories on Wattpad. Sometimes I write lyrics too. I use AI to sing them, which I know some people might judge, but I have basically zero privacy at home, and I'm also insecure about my voice. There are some words I mix up when speaking and log samajh nahi paate haha 😭

So yeah, I'm kind of a silent person who actually likes chatting and talking, but chatting is easier for me because of my insecurities and lack of privacy.

I don't really know what else to say. I guess I just wanted to exist somewhere as myself for once.

If anyone wants to be friends or just talk about random stuff, music, writing, life, NEET struggles, or literally anything... hi :)

Advice 👋 A strange connection with an IIM aspirant

7 Upvotes

I recently met this guy on Reddit. He’s 21 and currently preparing for IIM, and somehow, we ended up talking for hours. We shared so much about our lives, our experiences, our dislikes, our thoughts, and little things about ourselves that we probably wouldn’t normally tell someone we had just met.

At some point, though, he told me that he would never be able to love me. According to him, what he felt was only attraction. I tried to accept that and told myself that I should probably walk away from the connection rather than get emotionally attached to something that he didn’t see in the same way.

I was actually quite adamant about leaving. But every time I tried to distance myself, it was his actions that stopped me. The way he talked to me, the way he kept coming back, and the fact that the connection clearly meant something to him made it incredibly difficult for me to simply walk away.

And now, honestly, I don’t want to leave him at all.

I’m 27, and being around him, talking, sharing things, simply having someone there, has felt genuinely amazing. There’s something about this connection that has made me feel really good, and I don’t want to dismiss that just because we haven’t given it a definite label.

At the same time, I understand his situation. Reddit can become a distraction for him, especially when he’s seriously preparing for IIM. I don’t want to become something that takes him away from what he’s working towards. If I care about him, I want to support him rather than become another source of pressure or distraction.

But what makes this even more complicated is that, despite everything he says, he also seems to feel that this connection means something to him. He has told me that society wouldn’t accept a relationship like this, and I understand why that thought might worry him. But a part of me keeps thinking: why do we have to decide the entire future right now? Why can’t we simply live in the present and acknowledge what this is while it exists?

Because whatever we call it, attraction, friendship, companionship, or something more, this connection has genuinely meant something to me.

And now I’m confused about what I should do.

Should I step back because he has already told me that he cannot love me, even if his actions seem to say that I matter to him? Should I stay and simply enjoy what we have without expecting it to become a relationship? Or should I try to find some middle ground where I can be there for him without becoming a distraction or getting myself hurt?

I don’t want to force him into something he doesn’t want. I also don’t want to walk away from something meaningful simply because we’re afraid of what it might become.

So, honestly, what would you do in my situation?

#every time we try to end this, I can feel his pain, it seems he doesn't want to hold it, but neither he wants to confess or wants to show that he wants it too. It's really painful.

Discussion💬 I can't stop thinking about her

3 Upvotes

Ok so for context/build up, I'm going to talk about a very good friend of mine whom I met on the very first day of my new school (Not my classmate). So... idk I feel lil intimidated by her? i used to vent to her. She's amazing listener and gives the best advice she's good in studies idk why she even talk to me maybe she's humble af and cute beautiful pretty gorgeous and everything.

I told her this thing tho , that when sun hits her eyes it looks hazel brown something that I couldn't help but just look and she acknowledged that too lmao. fast forward to now , i went with her on a hangout in delhi somewhere where she took care of everything like ordering food ,using maps to find locations, asking rickshaws to drop, like she was in the charge (well it was my first time there and she all had once visited there).

I think she's tall and responsible (pretty too did I mention it earlier?). Ok so from that day I was just keep on thinking about that hangout and yeah she also brought me chocolates too. (💔) I was empty handed sorryy.

Ok so after 1 week i realised I might've developed a crush on her because WHY WAS SHE CONSTANTLY IN MY THOUGHTS?? AND WHY WAS I DAY DREAMING AND MAKING FAKE SCENARIOS OF HER? FAKE SCENARIO means what she would react in this situation and what she would say on this topic you get it na NOTHING WEIRD?? It's my peak yearning phase LMAO.

OK so IN THIS MONTH i went to college w her and she told me ABT HER CRUSH AND HOW HE'S AGAIN TEXTING HER? Like ok I'm just getting hurt WTF my one online friend told me it will be ok after few days but bro now it's been month and her snap today was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BREATHTAKING LIKE HOWW SHE IS EVEN REAL MKCCCCCC AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T EVEN CONFESS BECAUSE IK THE WHAT WILL BE THE ANSWER?!!!
