My instagram algorithm is filled with couples and it makes me feel so lonely. I’m sitting at home preparing for a competitive exam and not socializing much (i don’t have a lot of friends either) so the loneliness is hitting hard. I am a bit on the bigger side too so i feel ugly and disgusting because i don’t think anyone would want to be with me. I had a boyfriend 3 years ago who left me because he “lost feelings” for me. I feel so hopeless and alone

I’m grateful that it happened. Seeing 5 million followers in 3 days made me feel a little less alone in feeling suffocated and trapped, feeling helpless against every single system in the country which has failed us, be it education, health, women’s safety, infrastructure…. It gave me a little glimmer of hope for the future even if it is false and temporary.

I’m so scared right now. Flying air india a321. Can this plane handle the rain? What if lightning strikes? Please help

My parents expect me to get married and move into my in law’s house and adjust to their customs, just because my mother also did the same. When I opposed this and said that I didn’t want to live with my in laws, they said that they didn’t raise me with correct values and said that I would be disrespecting my in laws. So they care about their reputation in front of unknown people, and they care about an unknown man being separated from his parents than their own daughter. They said that later if there’s friction between me and my husband, they will not be able to help me. I feel sick. I feel trapped and I regret choosing to stay in this country just because of my parents. I wish I had left. Why do women even choose to get married? They also said what would i do if my brother’s wife said the same thing and left them on the street, so not living with parents = abandoning them?
