The parents have asked that the girl and guy should talk and it's better to get to know each other. Girl's family hasnt met up with the guy cause he's abroad. They did take the girl's number so the guy can contact. Haven't had contact yet. But the girl got to know from the person who introduced the families that the guy is completely dependent on his parents to make this decision for him. Which feels weird to the girl as she'd like someone who is interested in her.
The guy's family seems to have a really good bond with each other and the parents, like friends.
What are the reasons someone wouldn't wanna choose for themselves in today day and age? And is it a bad thing?

I'm just starting and I dont want drastic changes anyway, but my goal is to reduce some fat, tone up, better posture, and gain muscle for health purposes.

Can 15-30 min workouts with smaller weights combined with walking help? What results can I expect? I know diet is important too.

I'm trying to look for small sustainable things that I can actually do. Any tips?

Can you also feel if someone is thinking about you even if you arent in contact but you do have a connection with them?
This has happened with me a few times tho obv there is no way of being sure unless that person tells you but how many of you experience this? I find it a very cool thing

I'm asking for brown skin which loves to hold on to pigmentation for dear life. It takes me years to get rid of pigmentation, months for even a small pimple mark. FML.
What's something that really really works for skin like that? Please give recs from personal experiences where you have seen results.

Might be a weird question but I'm sure some people can relate.
I've been through some shit in my life but at the same time I've had a lot to be grateful for.
The shit taught me how to be stronger and also I've studied psychology and know about how to actually heal.
But at this point in my life I feel so detached from my own life, due to some trauma my memory has also become quite bad. I do have my memories from my past but also I can't relate to anything from my past. It is like I can't even say if that was me who went through that or mostly what I felt.
I guess I'm mostly so detached from the feeling of all the versions I've lived. It's hard for me to relate to any of it even if in those moments I felt intensely (i know i did).

So we've all heard this thing about to not let our feelings consume us but rather to be an observer. How does one actually do that? Also what's the difference between feeling your feelings and just observing them? Actually looking for practical ideas esp in an over charged/stimulated situation.

So, I prayed istikhara for the first time during this Ramadan with a very open heart to help me make a decision. And things started happening in a direction and my heart felt very content like this is the answer. However, after some time, things completely shifted and started going in the opposite direction of what initially happened. And i'm very confused. Has it happened with someone?
