Suppose you're manifesting an SP and there's a 3P involvement. You try to avoid knowing anything about the 3P or even thinking about them.
But occasionally by coincidence or when curiosity gets better of you, you check your social media.
And if you have not blocked your SP, the social media shows their posts, their likes and reposts which directly or indirectly suggest that they are moving closer towards the 3P.
Like for e.g. it shows them people calling them a couple, them planning a wedding, your SP liking wedding reels and wedding dress/rings suggestions.
How do you ignore such overwhelming evidences which seem to go against your manifestation?
Those saying to delete the social media, what if social media is the only remaining connection between you and your SP? Like they are your crush whom you met through that social media app.
How do you just break the last remaining connection between you and your SP?
Experts and those who have been through similar situations kindly chip in with suggestions.

Would you advise to people going into AM setup or otherwise to avoid making it official before engagement or roka happens? R
Sorry if it happened and sorry for making you relive it. But can you answer a few questions:
Have you ever seen such couples in your med-school?
OR
have you (guy) ever dated a taller girl
have you (girl) ever dated a shorter guy
OR
would you ever consider doing so in the future?
BENGALURU: WHEN Faustino Oro came within a whisker of beating Abhimanyu Mishra's record of the youngest to become a Grandmaster, the US player was both relieved and sad at the same time. "I was following some of his games (when he was within sight of the record)," he tells this daily on the sidelines of the fourth edition of the Global Chess League (GCL). "I was hoping that he wouldn't break it (smiles) but it was unfortunate (that he didn't). He came quite close and I was expecting him to break it.
In the end, the Argentine, who became a GM earlier this year, fell short by under two months (12 yrs and six months compared to Mishra's 12 yrs and four months).
Mishra, now 17, was also slightly envious considering the support Oro got from stakeholders, including from Argentina's chess federation. That envy, at least partly, is a result of how letdown Mishra feels by the lack of support his own career has received.
"In the US, it's unfortunate," he says. "After I became GM during Covid, my father approached 200-300 people overall for sponsorships. Somehow, every single one of them fell through. You could see they wanted to support chess... but maybe some inertia in the system. We tried just about everything to get sponsorship in the US but nothing has really worked out... no hate or anything to Fausti but when he was going for the record, you could see how he was given a lot of resources. I didn't get 5-10% of it."
A lot of people outside of chess may think of the game as inexpensive but at the elite level, the costs can very quickly multiply when you take into account travel and accommodation. Because only the top players receive invitations to most of the closed tournaments, players like Mishra — above 2600 but below 2700 — will have to keep crisscrossing the world to try to get to that 2700 level. But the development is seldom linear. That's even before you add the top dollar you have to pay for a reputed coach. "You are talking $200-250 an hour. So if I'm being tutored by somebody for four hours over a weekend, that's $1000 right there," Mishra, part of PBG Alaskan Knights at the GCL, says.
Currently rated 2630 in Classical, being part of the Kasparov Chess Foundation helps but he has to be creative to earn bread. "It's very difficult. I have played some simuls against kids to keep up... but I have to do what I have to do to make ends meet." Among the 'ideas' he had — something he may still explore — is to switch federations (unlike other games, it's a fairly straightforward process). "The thing is I still like to play for the US. I was born and brought up here. But I will probably do it if this lack of support continues."
It's one reason why he has remained in the zone between 2600 and 2700 for almost three years (he first breached past 2600 in November 2023 as a 15-year-old). Even if the ratings have remained in this narrow zone, he has had some eye-catching results in this period, not least when he beat D Gukesh at the Grand Swiss last year. In the process, he had also become the youngest player to ever take down a reigning world champion in Classical. "I actually thought it was my chance to make history," he says on how he approached the game. "If I lose this game, nobody will remember. I decided to go all in and the Italian I played worked."
Now, the challenge is to put together a series of performances like that.
I know this is a very specific question but still. A friend of mine belonging to a lower caste from a rural area in Maharashtra is dating another friend of mine who's a Bihari Bhumihar Brahmin girl but born and brought up in Mumbai, for 2 years now. Today I got to know that the girl hasn't told his parents about this coz she thinks that they might not agree to this relationship. Obviously she should've been clear about this from the start but that cannot be changed now and the only solution is to try and convince her family. If they say yes then great but if they say no, then idk what will the two do.
For those who have no idea about Breaking Bad, Norris' character Hank Schrader was a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent on the show!
Season 4 Episode 8: Pink Tops
What led you to this moment and how long did it take you to recover from this incident?
We all know prep phase, waiting for results, counselling is one of the most awful phases of your med-career. You want to do a lot of things but prep and then anxiety stops you from doing those things. You think once I enter a PG course, I will do this, I will do that, sort of make a bucket list.
So those who were in this phase last year or few years before, how has your life changed since then? Did you guys able to do anything or everything you had planned to do while you were in this phase?
Everyone rn is so tensed about the recalls, cut-offs and all, so figured let's see how people who went through the same couple of years ago are doing today.
