If you don't, I genuinely think you're missing out on one of the most valuable relationships in life. Good friends are incredibly important these days, especially for guys.

Whenever I see people say that you can't share your problems with your male friends because they'll just brush it off with, "Let's go have a drink," I honestly can't relate.

I've had my best friend for the last 22 years, and I'm a 26-year-old guy. I also have other close friends I've known for 10, 12, and 9 years. Not once have I felt like I couldn't talk to them about something important. I can call them anytime and discuss anything.

If you're under 20 and don't have a best friend yet, make an effort to build that kind of friendship. In my experience, having a true best friend is far more valuable than being in a relationship.

​Whether Ketan or This Guy , or many others, it seems like there is a recurring theme among those who have tragically taken their own lives. They are often described as respectful, loving, caring, and kind individuals who believed in supporting their wives, standing up for them, and helping with household chores after work. Unfortunately, many of these men allegedly faced betrayal through infidelity and severe harassment from their spouses or in-laws. Has anyone else picked up on this?"

Anti-Indian hate isn’t new we just didn’t have phones to record it before.

People treat hate against Indians, especially Indian men, like a new internet-age thing. It’s not. In 1972, Idi Amin gave Uganda’s entire Indian population 90 days to leave the country leave behind their businesses, property, everything they’d built. No viral video, no hashtag. The world found out after the fact. The hate was always there; we just lacked the tools to document it in real time. Today it’s the same resentment, just more visible and better funded. A lot of anti-Indian content online is amplified by Pakistani and Chinese accounts with an obvious interest in making India look bad and this isn’t speculation anymore. In June 2026, Singapore’s government ordered YouTube, Facebook, and X to block posts targeting its Indian minority after tracing them to a China-based platform. The posts attacked Indian migrant workers and framed the community as a demographic threat.

That’s a government confirming what people have been saying for years: a real chunk of this hate is manufactured and pushed deliberately. The Western version is less covert than people think. Indian-origin professionals hold a disproportionate share of leadership roles in US tech, and Indian Americans are consistently one of the highest-earning immigrant groups in the country. Success bred resentment, and that resentment found a political home. Charlie Kirk openly said America didn’t need more visas for Indians, calling it the immigration that “displaced American workers” most. When Marco Rubio got asked directly about anti-Indian racism in the US, he didn’t deny it he just shrugged it off as “stupid people” and “bots.”

Then there’s the manufactured stuff: a viral video claimed a Korean YouTuber was groped during Holi in India while dressed as a pregnant woman. Fact-checks found the harassment footage was actually from Bangladesh the only real India clip was him enjoying Holi normally, no disguise. He clarified this himself. Got a fraction of the views the fake version did.

Compare that to the UK’s actual grooming gang findings, disproportionately linked to men of Pakistani heritage no pile-on branding an entire nationality. Or Denmark, which brands itself one of the safest countries for women while its own Ministry of Justice data shows real rape numbers far higher than what’s reported. Nobody builds a narrative about Danish men from that. And honestly, the worst part isn’t even outsiders it’s watching our own people pile on harder than anyone else, just to look “enlightened” to a Western audience. Easier to throw your own under the bus than to point out the criticism is selective and often just wrong.
