Okay, I know it is a bad idea. I do not really want to get into it. I am just so pissed at him. I have been in no contact with him ever since we stopped talking and it has been a long time. I literally forced myself not to even reply to his last text because I felt so disrespected. I was just so sad for myself that I decided I did not want to talk to him anymore. Neither did he reach out nor did I ask him to explain himself like I used to.

Anyway, I never once wanted to go back to him. Although I am not going to lie, I did think he should have apologised and all. All this time, I kept explaining to myself that I do not have to hate this guy and give him more importance by constantly thinking about him. But he never really left my mind. Things he said and everything that happened were always at the back of my mind. I subconsciously always thought that maybe deep down he did not deserve to be hated that much.

But suddenly I have all this hate. I have this itch to send him a hateful text saying "Knowing you was my deepest regret and I hate you" and all that. I do not want him to reply or anything. I just want him to feel miserable. I want him to hate himself, maybe even a little. I want him to realise that there is someone out there cursing him, even though we have not been in contact all this time. Neither of us knows what the other is up to. This guy really did fuck up my mental health. Thinking about how he was in the beginning, how he turned out in the end and how I always felt bad for him just makes my skin crawl. I have all this hate now and I am honestly mad that I did not say anything to him back then. I should have said things to him back then, I never let myself feel or mourn any of it. I chose to be the emotionally mature person instead. Bhaad mein gayi maturity. Keede pade use meri bala se! (Screw maturity. Let him rot for all I care)

Does Amazon deliver before the scheduled delivery slot?

I’ve ordered something during the Amazon Freedom Sale and the delivery date is tomorrow. I have chosen a specific delivery slot of 11 AM- 1 PM

I’ve ordered before with a specific delivery time slot but those were always orders where the slot was given on the day of delivery, just a few hours beforehand. This one is different because the slot has been given for tomorrow, so I was wondering if that makes any difference to the delivery timing.

Does Amazon ever deliver before the given time slot, or do they generally stick to the scheduled window?

The reason I’m asking is that it’s actually a gift for a family member and I want it to arrive only during a specific time when they won’t be home so I can keep it a surprise.

I know books are supposed to age with you. They are meant to be read, loved and show signs of that love. Well.....this is my way of loving them.

So I hav never wrapped my books. The problem is that I don't have a proper bookshelf,just a shelf above my bed. Over the years, many of my older books have collected dust and developed foxing. I know there's nothing I can really do about foxing on the pages but at least I can try to protect the covers.

Some covers get bent, some get torn and others end up with random creases. And I have some 2-3 white coloured books Watching them slowly turn dusty genuinely breaks my heart.

I started thinking about wrapping my books after seeing a few people on this subreddit do it. I also have a couple of hardcovers that I really want to keep in good condition. I watched a bunch of videos and people seemed to use either transparent plastic book covers or just regular transparent tape.

So I went to a stationery shop and asked for a plastic book cover. The plastic itself looked like it had already been through war or something but my introverted self was too awkward to say No, so I bought it anyway. When I got home, I wasn't very impressed with it. I would have ironed it if that was possible :(

I still tried covering a book but it didn't look great. Then I tried using tape and smh it actually looked better. But after that I came across YouTube comments saying the tape's adhesive will eventually weaken, the tape will yellow over time and it'll end up looking awful.

So now I'm sitting here with 300 cm of plastic book cover material and wondering what do I do now? Has anyone found a method that actually holds up well over the years? If I have glass wala bookshelf I'd have been okay not doing anything but I genuinely need some help

There will be a sale from July 4-6 on Amazon and I'm thinking of buying some books then. Will there be good discounts on books during that time or is it mainly a regular sale focused on other products like electronics etc?

I bought from them once before but that was way back in 2017. They were still pretty new at the time and if I remember correctly, delivery took about a week or so. The books arrived in good condition too. They were used books.

I'm thinking of ordering some books from them again because the one I want is cheaper on Bookchor than on Amazon. The only issue is that I need it to arrive around next Monday or Tuesday( 15th or 16th June) since my parents won't be home then. Otherwise, I'll get another lecture about spending money on books😭

I checked the estimated delivery date and it says around the 14th - 16th if I order today. My concern is whether it might arrive much earlier than that.

Pls comment if any of you have ordered from Bookchor recently? How long did delivery take for you if you are from delhi? Also, if you have bought new books from them, were they in good condition?

PLS READ BELOW FOR MORE CONTEXT ON WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR🙏🏻

To be fair, I am actually looking for a book similar to the kdrama Revenant.

Without spoiling the show too much, what I really liked was how it explored folkloric myths, rituals and traditional beliefs by building a tense mystery around a series of murders. The characters were constantly racing against time, trying to figure out how to stop the ghost before more people die.

A big part of the appeal for me was the investigation aspect like going through old stories, hidden histories, specific rituals and a lot of trial and error to understand why the spirit is haunting them in the first place and how they can finally put an end to it.

So I’m basically looking for books with that same mix of folklore, supernatural mystery, urgency, rituals and uncovering the truth behind a haunting.

I tried to keep the story as vague as possible to not spoil anything about the show. But yes, pls pls recommend any book with something similar to this.

I don’t know when I became this person. I used to have so many dreams and things I wanted but now I don’t feel any of that anymore. I feel suffocated, yet completely numb at the same time. When I hear taunts, it feels like I am being stabbed over and over and its as if something is lodged in my throat to stop me from saying anything.

I finished my degree almost a year ago but I haven’t applied anywhere. I’m too scared, scared that I’m not good enough, that I’m unprepared, that I’ll perform so badly they will reject me immediately. The fear gets so intense that I have anxiety attacks. I cry because I’m not the best.

I always thought I wouldn’t even be alive at this age. My parents and people around them seem disappointed in me and it feels like they are making fun of me. I keep telling myself I’ll start preparing soon but the truth is I don’t even feel like doing anything. I don’t want anything. I don’t even feel like existing.

This year, my suicidal thoughts went beyond anything I imagined, though even that scares me. I was never like this I used to want to be better, I loved learning. But now I’m so exhausted that even thinking about doing something for myself feels impossible.

I have pushed all my friends away because I can’t handle anything more. I had an argument with my friend regarding something else and I was hoping it would blow up so that I can cut myself off from them so that I can not deal with them too. I feel ashamed, anxious and stupid. I have no idea what I’m doing with my life or why I'm doing this to myself. I tell myself what's the point of living. I wish I could soomehow transform my life, I get so scared even before I start anything because I immediately think I’ll never achieve anything so what’s the point? There are people who are a 100 times better than me. Even when I try to begin something, like studying, I end up with intense headaches and my heart starts racing as I keep thinking about how far behind I am in life. Every day feels the same and the only constant is wishing I don’t wake up, both before I sleep and after I do.
