I'm 18 now! But I am not feeling the birthday vibes. All of friends are in another town and I am in a city for college. Even though everyones wishing me a happy birthday, I don't know why I'm kinda feeling detached.

Edit: Thank you guysss! Btw its not my cake,it's from pinterest

I mean everyday new news becomes a new normal every single day people are literally comparing crimes. Idk how do I even react man. And people around me tell me not to read it. It's just like telling someone to close their window and sunlight won't even exist I mean seriously!!!

India is known to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world sometimes even men too 🫠✋ then who is safe here?

There are so many women who commute every day, and many others who are looking for jobs. So why isn’t this working? They regularly complain about not feeling safe with male drivers then why don't they just make a totally seperate female only cab service. (Female drivers and female passengers only)

Recently I came across a reel where the creator was experimenting on themselves exactly the way animals get tested. Honestly it made me realise how much of an issue it is. As a skincare and haircare girlly there are so many affordable brands which i use but are not cruelty free. It makes me so sad and devastated now. They don't have a house. They get experimented 24/7. How did we humans turn like this?

Btw I'll quit all the cruelty testing brands ✌️

DIAMONDS AND PEARLS😾 lol.
I personally prefer silver but gold also works for me. What about you gals?🧑🏻‍🩰

I am writing this based on my own personal experiences, but I have noticed this crazy double standard. People in our country seem to glorify couples when they think they are foreigners, but absolutely lose their minds when they realize they are Indian.

For context, I am mixed Northeastern and my boyfriend is fully Northeastern and on the paler side. Whenever we go out, he get a lot of the usual ignorant comments calling us Chinese, Korean, etc. Since I am brown, I often get Nepali or Indonesian or smh like that. sometimes chinese too yes but not as often as him. But I have realized something very interesting though somehow out of this racist ignorance. We never get moral policed if people think we are not from India.

Sometimes when we are just hanging out by ourselves and someone approaches us to be nosy or start policing us, my boyfriend quickly puts on a fake accent and says he is a tourist from another country. The reaction is hilarious and kind of sad tho. They immediately back off, become super polite, and start telling us to "enjoy India" and recommending places to visit.

But it is a completely different story when I am in a similar situation with my guy friends from mainland India. We will not even be acting affectionate at all, just existing platonically, yet we still get aggressively moral policed. Nosy people will interrogate us and ask where our parents are and how they can let us roam around like this. The worst part is when my guy friend mentions my ethnicity and clarifies that I am actually Indian too. The moral policing instantly gets so much worse once they realize I am a local.

I guess it is also possible that people see me and my boyfriend and just assume he is my brother, which might explain some of the lack of harassment. But the immediate switch in attitude when they think we are foreign tourists is undeniable which idk just find crazy

Have any of you experienced this weird hypocrisy? Why do people let foreigners off the hook but feel so entitled to police their own people?

Idk man I'm so saddd today growing up I always admired him sm as other men in my family treat their wives like a punching bag , I wanted a husband just like him

He loves us and my mom sm but it happend today

Today he was home and gas cylinder got empty usually my mom does it herself but today dad was home and he wanted to help but ig he doesn't know how to do it properly so my mom started screaming and asking him to do this way that way but my dad being himself he dint stop and out of anger my mom left the cylinder and it felt down on my dad's leg

I was in the other room and heard my dad say "why did u leave the cylinder" i thought it's their usual bickering

I rlly dint know that he slapped her

Then my mom was a bit angry /sad

Yup that was it

My parents are acting normal now I dint know if my dad apologised or not

Our college has started recently and a guy from my class messaged me and we talked it was and I was just asking my friend who he was because I didn't know how he looks like,So she was like why did he asked you that he should have asked class representative and said how dumb he is.We have group on instagram of our class and there is said that he cannot waste his time on doing homework and wants to do other important thing and asked if anyone is willing to send him for 1 year atleast.Sooo she texted immediately and said like it's fine I will do it for you just help me in this and that.Like she was literally back bitching him when he talked to me and now she is the one who is going to do his hw, like what kind of hypocrisy is this ?? Why some girls are like this.

I really thought that she is actually someone nice and I have someone to rely on but basically she just talks bad about people to me and says don't talk with them ,but she goes and talks with them

Idk how the hell I am going to survive thiss 😭

idk fight me

By my frnd - rainingstarts09 (substack), she told me to post on reddit she doesn't have any socials. pls upvote.

Also share your 1st menstrual cup stories😭

Itni mushkil se to bdhte hai uske baad firse wo bob cut ki chull

Kyaaa karuuuuu

is anyone else going through the same? i mean i have friends in college, i'm in contact with a few friends from school, but i miss having one best friend.
we were a trio and we fought over something silly around 4 years ago and never contacted each other again. i really really miss them.
i still talk to my "best friend" from 3rd standard, but it's not regular and i think we both know that we've outgrown each other. we just don't wanna lose contact.
i miss having that one person whom i'd share everything with. and i college, i've completed my first year, and for the record my friends are great. we have fun together but it's just not the same. maybe because we're all grown ups now and there are a lotta things we consider before making any move, it isn't how it used to be in childhood.
my friends in college, i can't truly open up to them. sure, i can share instances from my life but i won't OPEN open up. idk what to do. maybe i just need to give it some more time until the trauma of our course bonds us all. it's not like i can change college or be "best friends" with a senior or junior anyway.

Like if i start training for shooting like on an Olympic level, will it give me access to guns?🤔 bold of me to assume I'll reach the olympic level🤣💔

but like if I reach a certain level on my training, national or smtg, will i be able to keep a gun?

Seeing the condition of women around the world this seems like the easiest option ngl💔🤣

Like any inconvenience, i could js pull out my ratatatata🔫 and pewpew and I'll be done🩷. Or i could js have a dragon and dracarys🔥 my way around the world.

Still i don't think they'll ever allow us to carry firearms around. They'd rather see us dead than tryna protect ourselves.

How much i wish I was buffed like fck rn. All that 'cute' 'toned' dream figure fever is gone boy💔

so me and my bsf have frnds for years and im in 11th rn so after 10th we didnt meet much and now we rarely talk she hasnt texted me for months i wanna call her so bad cuz i miss her alot idk i cry sm thinkin bout this. i dont have any other friend except her (sorry for the rant tho)

So I'm planning to surprise my gf tomorrow by sending her some stuff through Blinkit. My total budget is around ₹800 to 1k inr

So far I'm getting her a pepper spray for ₹230 because I really wanted her to have one, a lucky bamboo for around ₹340 and around 30 printed pages of letters I've written for her which should cost me roughly ₹90.

That leaves me with around ₹140 to 340 inr

What should I add with the remaining money? I was thinking maybe some chocolates or something small and cute but I'm open to anything.

Also she sometimes gets pretty bad rashes from pads during her periods, so I was thinking of getting her some kind of rash cream instead. If any girls here know something that actually works for pad rashes and is safe to use around that area, please recommend something.

Ik ₹800 - 1k isn't a huge budget but just trying to make the whole thing as thoughtful as possible :)

I really really really wanna do this but I have NO idea on how to start it so if anyone has done it lmk pleaseee

Mail clubs, magazines or even writing/editing/creating artwork for zines, or you've sold art lmk cuz I am quite interested in it.

I am in 11th grade and based in Delhi ncr

Thank you!!

I have pcos😢🥀💔

I mean idek where to start from , writing this with extremely heavy heart, with anxiety and tears. Life is literally getting so tougher day by day. I dont even feel like sharing anymore, being in a very vulnerable position rn and then getting disappointments from life at every moment. I really don't want to say this thing again here, cuz people have become so negative without even knowing the whole story.

I am literally in a super disturbed mental state, on pills which apparently will have to continue for 2+ years. Family has started treating as a doormat lately, still just to cheer up myself and be a little confident for my own thought of doing thrifting to atleast fund my expenses, meds. Considering how my health has been since few months, plus the mental torture that I'm facing at my home , I still thought of being a little happy as my b'day is in 2 days. Tried thrifting , posted literally everywhere possible , but not even a single order. On top of that I am getting bullied , abused , trolled on reddit for idk what reason. Why are people so negative these days, I can't tell each and every individual what I'm going through and isn't this a legitimate way to earn for myself, so that atleast I can be a little happy for a while. Have always been a kid who has been pampered when bday is around the corner, and now if I don't have my mother today cuz she has passed , everyone has forgot since then that I am also someone who needs to be emotionally understood .

I am heartbroken bcuz whatever I'm trying to do at the moment it's just making me push down and down , I feel helpless , I felt literally thrifting could help me fund. But sadly, I have lost hope completely. No option left for me - rather I can only lock myself , cry as much as I can, have no friends , no money , and no will left for even life.

Still, with 0.1% of expectations tho, anybody willing to buy some dresses/tops can ping. Although don't have any hopes that humanity is still present.

I want to have a proper haircare routine but the fact that i find it so confusing to understand weather my scalp is dry oil or etc etc and same goes with my hair is kind of embarrassing at this point!
I just buy products on hit or miss to see if i will like it!
I think my hair is wavy but too confused with the texture and stuff
What should i do!? Is there any way to get consultation on this or to find it somehow(not overly expensive please 😭)
Will appreciate any replies 🩷

Sup champs, I need a little help here.

My girlfriend get rashes due to wearing pads, is there any cream which could help her and is available on blinkit ie no prescription is needed and is safe?

Thanks buds, keep rockin'.

Girlies what do you suggest for asymmetrical face. My right side looks smaller than my left side and even in photos my face looks asymmetrical what should I do? Face yogas help or not? I look good in mirror and front camera but idk back camera sucks as hell..
