Arey I just looked up protein powders and it’s expensive af, especially I can’t afford to spend that much on that..

How is everyone meeting their protein requirements? I need atleast 100g protein daily, and all I’m doing is eating 2 eggs and hung curd, what else can I eat!!

I eat pesarattu, dal, roti occasionally

I’m 21F and recently started my first relationship ever. I always thought I was straight, but when I was around 20 I started developing strong feelings for my girl best friend. I would replay small moments like holding hands, think about her constantly, wait for her text by constantly checking my phone, feel jealous of her ex, and get extremely excited whenever we spent time together. Like I used to imagine kissing her and being close to her all night. That’s when I started questioning if I might actually be bi. Eventually I found out she is bi and she liked me too, and we started dating.

The confusing part is that I really do love her. I love cuddling, holding her, kissing her, and talking to her all day. I find her adorable and I feel happy around her. And many times I felt that she loves me much more than I love her, I felt I could never match her in terms of love.

And when it comes to physical intimacy, I sometimes feel much less than she does. She seems to feel a lot of excitement and connection from those moments, while I sometimes feel neutral or disconnected, and it makes me feel guilty because she is such a loving partner. She really knows how to satisfy and tries her best but I end up not feeling arosed, I feel normal. It felt new and exciting at first but now it just feels normal. But when I’m alone and i do things to myself I feel turn on, but only for a few minutes then it’s gone.

I don’t know if something’s wrong with me because I enjoy the intimacy but only for like few minutes and that’s it. I wonder if I’m asexual or if my drive is much lower?

I worry that maybe I don’t love her enough, or that I’m not actually attracted to women, but I don’t feel any stronger attraction when I imagine a man doing the same things to me like she does.

I’m confused because my romantic feelings for her feel very real, but my physical feelings don’t always match the way I expected it to. Like I crave holding her hands and kissing her but I don’t necessarily crave intimacy? Maybe very rarely

It’s only been 2 months and I’ve never dated a boy before so I’m genuinely unsure about what this is.. like I feel like I’m cheating on her because I’m unable to feel intimate with her. And also when we were not dating, I used to make up a lot of scenarios and they all felt good but now when we’re making those scenarios come to life, they don’t feel much exciting to me?

Is it all because I’ve imagined too much and already got on before dating her that now nothing is exciting me? Or am I asexual or am I straight or do I generally not have high drive ? I’m just so confused.

Girlies I’ve been going to the gym lately and I’ve started with minimal workouts. I did planks and I started seeing stretch marks near my belly area

It’s like wherever I’m losing fat, stretch marks are appearing, how do I stop this from happening? At this point I don’t even want to lose fat because already I have so many stretch marks on my shoulders so I avoid sleeveless, now if I get on my stomach too then I’ll have to stop crop tops

How to stop getting stretch marks !!

I’m currently in early 20s, job ochindhi recent graduate. I live at our own home with parents, ma house is near my office only so minimum travel.

Antha okay kani, I don’t feel independent. Roju I just go to work, come home, weekends aythe inka intlone. Inthe inka life. I feel like I’m wasting away my 20s. I want to have fun, go out and stay overnight, intiki rakunda, or go anywhere I want without taking permission at home, dance freely to loud music, cook myself ivanni family tho unte chala kasthm. Manchi house undhi, comfort undhi kani I don’t feel independent.

I feel like evartho vellali anna, ekadki vellali anna permission thiskuni vellali, time ki ocheyali, inka update isthu undali, I know it’s not wrong but sometimes I feel stuck, I’m an adult I want to do stuff, I want to travel on my own, I want to explore, have fun, kani I cannot.

Asalu I’m scared my 20s will be work, home, anthe ani. No fun. Nothing.

I can’t move out because like I said house is near to most IT offices. And they won’t allow me to live on my own in the same city. Vere city antara, I have my friends and my fun people here, malli rebuilding ante thelidhu but for now as I got a job here recently, idk how to have fun. Solo trip ki vellali anipistadhi Kani nuvu ammayi, you should not step out adhi idhi ani restrictions.

Ivanni intlo chepthe pelli aynaka undu independent antaru, like wtf I want to live by myself like on my own terms, ipudu veelu apudu inka evaro control lo undali ante I can’t!

Let me have some fun when I can! Malli pudthama enti? 🫩

Girls I’m nearly 5’8 and I want to buy palazzo pants to wear under kurta, or even flared gold palazzos that go well with any type of kurtas but whenever I order on Myntra, Amazon, etc the length is always short on me..

They are always above ankle length and looks odd.. where to find longer palazzos for tall girls that go below ankle, any small business or Insta stores are also fine if you’ve tried them, just want them to be long lasting and good quality!!

I recently started dating the only best friend I ever had in my life. Expect for him, I don’t have anyone who I can call my “best friend”. We confessed and had mutual feelings so decided to date each other.

But I feel scared in the back of my head, I feel worried, I get anxious thinking about the future. Honestly both of us come from very strict families and we possibly don’t have a future if we want to stay with family. And not just that but we are only a few months into dating, in the honeymoon phase so everything is going well but I’m really worried, what if after few years of dating we find out we’re not compatible and we break up. Or due to any other reason if we break up in the future, I’ll not just lose my partner but also the only best friend I have.

Sometimes I regret confessing my feelings because at least then I would have had my best friend with me forever, but now if we break up, we’ll go back to strangers and block each other. I won’t have anyone in my life, to even get through it.

I know nothing has happened, everything is going great but in the back of my head I get really anxious and worried. I keep getting negative thoughts. I keep feeling like I’ll be left alone in the end. Even when I’m hanging out with him or feeling loved by him, I keep getting negative thoughts that this won’t last forever, this will be a hurting memory in the future, I won’t have him with me for long…

I shared this with him and he says that he would’ve maintained distance with me even if we never dated, because he always thought it was one sided from him so he thought it’s better to stay away from me and avoid me so his feelings don’t get intense.

But either way I keep thinking what if we never started this, I just cannot think of losing both my best friend and my partner at once. That too, we were best friends for many years, just started dating like 2 months ago.

I’m on iOS and I sent a specific type of photo to my partner in view once of WhatsApp at around 1AM. I checked my gallery to make sure and nothing was there. Then I put my phone on charge and slept. The next morning I wake up and see that the specific photo which I sent on view once is saved to my gallery in “Recently Saved”. And not just that but I retook the photo like 2 times but I never sent it, and those retakes also got saved.

Like they were not there yesterday when I slept but suddenly appeared in recently saved today and that too some of those pictures were never sent, and only one was sent on view once.

I’m really worried and I tried it again with other photos but it’s not happening now. It has never happened before either. This was my first time sending those specific photos and it seems to be happening with them only.

I’m worried if my phone is hacked or if my images are saved and leaked. Is this a bug! My WhatsApp backup is turned off btw. I’m scared.

Basically I started dating like a month ago, it’s my first time dating so idk what this is. I’ve had a crush on my partner for a few months and we were good friends before we started dating. My partner confessed he had a crush on me for much longer than I did, like years.

When he says stuff about me like he cried for me many times, and even for small things like when I hangout with my friends, he apparently feels low because I don’t text him much and he feels jealous of my friends cause they spent a day with me. Which is cute but he asked me how I feel when he hangs out with his friends, but honestly I don’t feel much, I feel good because he’s spending time with other people and not just always with me. He asked me if I feel jealous but I said no and he felt disappointed.

Also in many others ways there’s a clear difference between how I feel and how he feels, it’s kind of like i can never match his level of love, he just loves me too deeply and I don’t think i can love him back that much.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed when he says stuff which I never felt for him but he felt for me, I feel sad because I’m not giving back what he’s giving me, I feel guilty for not feeling much for him. And sometimes I wonder if I’m even in love or not. Sometimes the overwhelming feeling gets too serious and I push him away, try to avoid him..

Is this normal? We’re just 1 month into dating and it’s kind of affecting me.

Nenu typical Telugu family nunchi, I’m an F and currently financially independent. But I don’t get the concept of marriage, ante I don’t want to be stuck with the wrong partner and have to spend my entire life with them.

I don’t want to be married and especially I want to be childfree, which marriage complicates it a lot. And i want to stay somewhere, enjoy and live my life in my own terms, and die peacefully one day. I don’t care about carrying my family blood or what not.

Naku na life happy ga undi, elagu ee generation lo living till 60s is a great task so I don’t want any children to take care of me during “old age” cuz I don’t see an old age, nor I want to be dependent on someone to take care of me.

Asalu how do I make my family understand all this, epudu chusina Pelli Pelli antaru as if my life is only valid if I marry, as if I’m only living for Pelli.

Recently relationship start chesa, aythe I had a crush on my partner before and we were best friends but later they confessed they had a crush on me for much longer and mutually we started dating.

Inka everything is going great, honeymoon phase but naku oka vishyam aalochisthe bhayam ga undhi. Basically na partner loves me so much more than I do, ante it’s reached to a point it’s intoxicating them. Total ga na paina depend aipotam inka full day natho matladatam and think about me, inka chala dependent aypoindu. I feel like na kosam they waited years anta because we were friends but they never considered me a friend so finally after waiting years, now we’re dating ani maybe but they are so invested in this.

Sometimes I feel bad enduku ante I cannot match their level of love ani inka sometimes I feel scared, nak emaina aithe or edaina situation future lo osthe when we have to break up (future is definitely uncertain atp) so I don’t think they can take it. Chala depend aypothe it’ll destroy them totally.

And they have a past with hurting themselves so I’m scared asalu what will happen ani. Nenu chepa that don’t depend too much on me ani and don’t think too much about me ani but ala chepthe they are feeling like I’ll breakup with them anduke chepthunna ani, kani I don’t want them to make me the whole point of their life. Idhi ela chepali? I want them to be happy with or without me in their life. But ala chepthe they are thinking I’m leaving them ani.

Basically nenu ma parents tho and siblings tho everything share chestha, like even small details about my day or life..

Recently I started dating, idhi na first relationship, but I’m feeling guilty because intlo lie chesi velthunna hangouts ki and they have no idea. Emaina adigithe kuda face paina im lying to them, feeling guilty about this but there’s no other option..

Ivanni intlo chepthe definitely they won’t let me out, and they think I’m some innocent ani kani I do all kind of vile stuff. It feels like I’m hiding one identity from them ani.

But I’m an adult and I want to do things I like but still edho guilty feeling that I’m disappointing them ani

Nenu switch aina kabatti chepthunna. Don’t use refined sunflower oils for daily cooking, andharu freedom ani fortune ani etc etc oil use chestharu daily cooking or deep frying ki kani it is slowly killing you.

Refined oils eh manaki health damage chala chesthayi malli adhi daily use chesi plus deep fry chesi thinatam is not good. Price point wise, refined oil 5L costs around 900rs whereas cold pressed oils cost around 1200-1300, so barely 300 rs difference.

Aa 300 rs kosam health ni karchu pettakandi, switch to cold pressed groundnut oils, adhi kuda use only limited amounts, don’t overuse oils. Inka ghee also can be used. Idhi just awareness kosam im posting because I’ve noticed everyone around me use these refined oils, advertisements kuda chala chestharu kani it’s not at all healthy. Oka 300 rs extra aina sare don’t compromise your families health.

So naku oka best friend undu. Lately we’ve been getting overly attached to each other. Ante we’ve been meeting constantly inka physical closeness chala ekuva aindhi between us. Like we hold hands, inka sit close and ala we’ve been close with each other since last few days..

We both mutually have feelings for each other anukovachu, from his actions I’m sure he does and I know I do too. But before everything he’s my best friend. Aythe both of our love language is physical touch so anduke it’s kind of getting serious these days, like gestures increase aithunayi.

But one thing enti ante I don’t see any future together for us, like I’m 100% sure that this will not work out, he knows it too. Reasons are many but we both know this is not permanent nor will work out for both of us. So it’s better to not get serious, or it’ll only hurt us both more.

So I need tips on how to just divert all these external things we’ve been doing and go back to being best friends again, I don’t want to lose my best friend over temporary feelings. Only since few weeks we’ve been feeling a little more but I think we’re still at a stage where we can fix things and go back to what we were before but how ? Please give tips.

I know many will say leave him or block him but I’m convinced that this is temporary, this can be fixed in some way..

I’m currently 2026 batche and my final sem results are not declared yet, so in the tcs bgc form it’s asking for CGPA but my CGPA can change after my final sem results. It says no changes can be made once the form is submitted so should I wait like 1 month more for my final sem results to be declared and then submit the bgc form and then proceed with bgv documents upload?

Or should I just fill the form with current CGPA and upload whatever docs I have now ? It’s been 2-3 weeks since I got the form on the portal, still I haven’t filled it, it’ll take like 1 month more for my final sem results to be declared.

Please help me with this..

Guys it’s difficult for me to get cute tee shirts or tank tops to wear at night because most of them especially if they are pastel colours, they are see through or they show my nips.

At home I don’t feel comfortable not wearing anything inside my nightwear because I live with my family (dad, brother, mom) and otherwise I live in hostel.. but during summers or even during sleeping bras feel quite uncomfortable for me..

So please suggest me what to wear under nightwear or what kind of nightwear tops do you guys wear? Even if it’s oversized, my nips pop out most of the times…

I’m finding it hard to discover myself. Ante naku na gurinchi thelidhu, naku em ishtam, nenu ela enjoy chesthanu, em activities Nannu excite chesthayi, ivanni slowly I forget over the years..

Last few years nunchi all I was doing was people pleasing. Nenu chala pedha people pleaser ni, like my whole focus was on my friends and what they like, how can I make them happy ani. And overtime adhi ela aindhi ante, it became like my happiness was dependent on them. Vallatho spend chesthe nenu happy, lepothe I’m sad. Any plans with them I feel happy, but if I do something alone I feel lonely.

Inka like motham vere people paina depend aindhi, na happiness kuda nenu valla response inka vallatho spend chesina time tho measure chesthunna.

Then it hit me, they all are happy with or without me ani, nene oka pedha red flower la valla chuttu thiruguthunna. Andharu happy gane unaru last ki I lost myself. Few years ago, I knew what I was, I was happy with myself. Especially lockdown lo I had no one to talk to, still I never felt lonely nor I cared about anyone and I was genuinely very happy with myself.

How do I rediscover myself and start enjoying my own company especially being a people pleaser.. I know friends and connections are important ani but I don’t want to make them the centre of my existence, they should be an add on to my already happy life. But idhi antha ela cheyali, I feel empty if I don’t message my friends daily, kani i want to break that loop, how to find myself and na likes and dislikes ela thelusukovali ?

Na close friend undhi, we are like best buddies. Aythe thana birthday ki nenu oka personal letter raasa, it was very difficult for me to write about her in just one page, chala think chesi, evo few memories and few thoughts raasa aa letter lo, I also cried reading it myself after I finished writing.

Aithe thana boyfriend adigadu anta em rasindhi letter lo ani, so she took a picture and sent it to him. Idk but I feel hurt because adhi nenu chala personal ga raasa, definitely I didn’t want her bf to read it. She told me he was laughing while reading it, I felt so bad.

Nenu ela ante, even if I love my friends I never ever express it much, they don’t too, but we know deep down. First time ila letter rayatam to express my actual thoughts.. so idk if it’s normal but I felt like our personal thing was shared with someone ani. And I feel hurt because atleast nannu adigi share chesina it would’ve been better.

Am I overthinking? How do I move forward with her, because I’m hurt ?

I want to experience the upcoming Spider-Man movie (Spider-Man brand new day) in the theatres but I haven’t watched any Spider-Man movies before or haven’t watched any marvel movies too..

Please let me know what movies I need to watch in order so I can enjoy the upcoming movie. (Only suggest required movies as I don’t have much time to watch the whole marvel universe 🥲)
