Please ask interesting questions I swear I'll be brutally honest (except for the things that discloses my identity)

Guys I’m new here, joined about a month ago and whatever I comment or post is just based on my own experiences, education and values. I don’t judge anyone for thinking differently and I try my best not to be rude or disrespectful

I just got a notification that my account might be getting blocked so I went through all my comments again to see if I had said something offensive by mistake but I couldn’t really find anything

Please baghair waja k downvote na kiya karo🙏.

We all know what narcissism is, mostly because of the internet and pop psychology. The word actually comes from Narcissus, a character in Greek mythology who saw his reflection in a pool of water and became completely obsessed with it. He kept staring at it, trying to reach the image he was seeing and eventually wasted away. After his death, a flower grew in that spot which was named Narcissus.

In Urdu, you probably know it as Nargis ka phool. And interestingly Nargisi koftay (the ones with the whole egg stuffed inside) got their name because when you cut them open, the yolk in the centre resembles the core of the Nargis ka phool, surrounded by the white like petals.

THAT'S MY MOST FAVOURITE RANDOM FACT

And I know this because I studied psychology and I’m also weirdly obsessed with cooking and Greek mytho

I’m a 26(M) and I’ve been skinny for most of my life. For the longest time, I weighed around 47 kg. Around 21, I gained a little weight and reached 50 kg. Then at 23, I started going to the gym for a few months, but my diet wasn’t great because I live alone and managing food alongside studies was difficult.

I joined the gym again at 25 and stayed consistent for about 2 months. My diet still wasn’t ideal, but it was definitely better than before. At that point, I had reached around 57 kg. Unfortunately, I got into an accident and dropped back to 53 kg.

I’ve always wanted to build a good physique, but my biggest issue is consistency with food and routine because I live alone so I eat once a day because of laziness and now have job timing issues too. Another thing that keeps bothering me is feeling like I started too late. I’m almost 26 now, and I keep thinking things would’ve been so much better if I had started seriously at 18.

I’d appreciate any advice, suggestions, or realistic guidance from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

Applied Psychology graduate here. I’m bored, so drop your psychology myths, misconceptions or random questions. I’ll try to answer them

I’ve never really used Reddit before, so this is actually my first post here lol.

I currently live alone in Lahore and I’ll be shifting to Islamabad next month while my family is in Oman. I recently graduated in Applied Psychology and started working in HR at an American company. Most people in my department are almost double my age and lately I’ve been feeling extremely alone.

Most of my university friends are busy with their own lives now which I completely understand, but the sudden lack of meaningful friendships and conversations has affected me more than I expected mentally and even physically.

I’m not here for anything romantic, so please don’t get the wrong idea. I just genuinely miss having people to talk to, share random thoughts with, hang out with or even just have good conversations with. I’ve always been a social butterfly so this phase feels really strange and isolating to me.

It honestly feels weird posting this publicly lol. Might delete later.

I’m not here for anything romantic so please don’t get the wrong idea. I just genuinely miss having people around to talk to, share thoughts with, hang out with or even just have good conversations with. I’ve always been a social butterfly so this phase feels very strange and isolating to me.
