I liked it. The beginning was a bit slow but that's normal but the actress was really good. Every scene was good enough to hold my super fried attention span. I liked how they didn't just move on from Sara immediately after yk. She was just there with them like that.

I felt really sad for Nikki because we never got to know her at all but from the snippets of whatever we saw we can see she's just a normal girl trying to live. The end was really sad.

I am open to suggestions for movies or series similar to these but not gore heavy though. 🌻

A similar kinda question I have is why is being in a relationship or dating such a big part of being a woman? Why do most women of all ages sit around and talk about guys, relationships,love lives so often instead of other things?

Only when you venture out to a special circle you can avoid these topics or else it seems to be such a common topic.

This is not a hate post. I'm trying to understand what make it so important women to talk about guys so much throughout their life whereas the opposite gender doesn't bother much about it which I think should be the norm.

I don't mind doing activities together but when someone steals your entire personality it's just weird. I keep running into people who do this. At first I just thought I was thinking too much but later it becomes so obvious. I never pick anything good from them because they mostly leave whatever they are interested in just after meeting me.

The people around me have pointed it out for years every single time how the other person morphs into a mini me be that a friend or a partner and how creepy everyone feels. Ugh why can't I have people around me from whom I can learn something instead. Why should I be the only person to give and give only

During my teenage years I realised all my friends back then were very focused on dating,they never changed. They are still the same. They would choose their situationships,boyfriends even just random guys friends over girls who have been there for them through think and thin.

Now in my early 20s whatever friends I have are starting to have views which are very conflicting from mine. For example one of my friend just declared she's fatphobic. She hates all fat people, she doesn't care if it's due to a medical condition or mental health or whatever. She said she even feels disgusting looking at them. I tried explaining it to her and she kept saying if they don't want to be hated on they can simply exercise, the more I talked with her the more I realised she's just not someone I can vibe with genuinely.

My another friend keeps lying to guys to make it look like she's their dream girl. If it was like she likes them I would understand to some extent but no she keeps doing this to multiple guys at the same time.She keeps making all the guys block me because she thinks they will reach out to me and like me more. Whenever I tell her even if they do im not going to reciprocate but she thinks I'm mocking her.

I know I have my flaws but I don't think I can be friends with someone if they are like this. so I think I should accept the fact I'm not gonna find a friend who will be with me through my milestones

In a group chat someone shared a video about an obese woman's weight loss journey. The person who shared it, shared it for the reason the creator's name was exactly the same as our friend's name. But my other friend said ' Ewwww' I asked wdym by ew? She said she hates fat people and she can't stand looking at them. I said Are you being serious? she said yes.

Then she went on to say how she was fat and she easily worked all off so she sees no reason someone should be fat. I said this woman is clearly working out and you are still getting disgusted at her,your reaction contradicts your sentence.

Then she told me yeah but she let it get to that point. I said what about people who cannot lose weight due to medical reasons? they said well they should disclose it. I said they do not have to disclose their medical information to anyone. That is their right. Then she went on to say well if they don't want to be hated they have to disclose it.

Then I told her if even at this age she is spewing this sort of bs I don't want to associate myself with her. I don't want to be your friend anymore.She just went offline and came online and started acting all normal.

I do not feel comfortable being in someone's presence who will hate anyone just like that. I really don't think I want to be friends with someone with this sort of mindset but I still wonder if I'm over reacting since the other people in the group didn't care at all.

These are all new people I met in a new setting. I have known them for like a few months now so I only got to know this information just now. I can share the screenshots but they are in a different language and will be over 10/25 so I decided to summarize everything.

Since I have made this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/Hijabis/s/M9lL96REaO

I am constantly getting DMS from guys and they are saying pretty disgusting things. I do not want to close my DMS because I'm active in some communities where people reach out to me for help due to my nature of work. So please mods look into this. I have gotten 7 message requests the same day I posted and all of them are saying very vulgar things. Since then it has been increasing.

I do not have any experience dealing with boys. I have no one to guide me also since I am not emotionally close to my family. I am in a stage where I have to start looking for guys and I'm just not really sure how to decide who is good or right for me since everyone always displays a fake persona at first. All the marriages around me are bad and the only ones which worked out are the ones where they have been dating each other since uni or school life.

My flatmate is using the washing machine in the common area 8 times per month. For 2hours each time. She claims she has a small amount of clothing items so she runs out of clean clothing quickly.

I'm not American or European so these are not dollars.Our common area bill has risen from 60 to 170.It was 60 even after using the common area stove,chimney,

washing,machine, water filter etc.The only change that happened was the washing machine.

I spoke to her about it and she just said well I need to wash my clothes, I said can you do it 4x/m she said no. It's getting tougher on my side since my common bill allocation was <100.It was perfect for months.

This has been going on for a while she wasn't like this before.

The weird part is she will tell me all the cons of whatever I want be that a book, a tablet,a hair brush etc. It isn't contained in a single category. She will keep saying ' do you actually want this? cuz these are what the reviews say, I personally think this isn't worth the money, it's not a good investment '. All these even after I say I have done the research and I am going to get in. Before or during I do my research she doesn't say anything. Only when I decide it she starts saying why I shouldn't get it.

This has escalated to a weird bit. Recently I moved abroad. She was always against this and even discouraged me. Now she wants to move abroad as well and all our conversations are 'i really want to go abroad I feel like my life will be so much better outside'. This is the opposite of what she said to me when I started considering.

I got a tablet after much contemplating. She kept talking about how this is a waste of money and not useful. The moment I started using it she starts saying ' life is so much easier when working with a tablet, I really want one'. The statement changed within 24hrs after I got the tablet from it's not useful to how convenient life is with it.

I'm at a stage in life where I do not feel like sharing anything with her because I know she will start saying the cons first then start wanting it for herself. I think the latter part is fused with some jealousy also.

Should I distance myself a bit or just fully cut her off?

I tried scrubbing it gently but the coating came off. The burnt part remains. I tried boiling water in it, it helped a bit but not that much. Now even if I boil water it tastes like burnt charcoal. Not sure what's the next step.

Do suggest budget friendly options for solutions as I'm a student on a tight budget. 🫠

Two girls sitting behind me in the cafe during breakfast hour talking about a guy.

Person one was talking about how it was so unexpected for the guy to leave her so suddenly after being together for 2 years she was really blindsided.

Person B asked you guys broke up last year right?

Person A yeah around October 2025

Person B I think you are remembering wrong? He's been with my sister since the end of 2024.

Both of them went silent after that.

I am confused. Did I overhear a real conversation or was this just a performative play? Because a lot of it seems unrealistic right?

My current room is comfortable, the management is also great for this apartment. I have 0 issues with the house. The only issue is my flatmate who uses so much electricity that the utility bill in the shared room is so much higher than other units around me. She also keeps mouldy food in the fridge, never takes out eh trash, leaves hair in the washroom sink and floor always after blow drying (a lot), used the washing machine 8times per month to wash 2 or 3 items. sleeps in the living room constantly which makes it harder to move and work around the common spaces.

I have talked about all these things but she never stops. She says she is sorry and she was in a hurry but she actually never is, she says she forgot but it's a constant thing. When she moved she was never like this but as time went on she kept doing this.

now the thing is I have an option to change my very expensive room to a smaller room. I will be saving up so much and the room is also to my liking but I will have to put up with this roommate and keep paying higher utility bills still but on the other hand cheaper room, good management.

I can move out completely to an okay-ish room with completely new flatmates that I'm not familiar with so they can be worse or better than my current flatmate.

So bad flatmate but cheap room+good management or cheap room+good management but unknown flatmates?

EDIT: I asked her for the money and she has agreed to pay because I showed her how expensive it was for me to buy the products then the tax on it also. Thanks for the advice everyone!

so partly the fault maybe on me since I asked her if she needed anything from here I can bring it but I didn't know she would send me a whole list of skincare and makeup products. Those easily total up to 300+ and it's going to be very expensive for me. I'm not sure if she's going to pay me back for this because when I showed her the total and said so this is what you will owe me, is that okay? She just kind of said in a joking manner that she thought it was a gift though?hahaha.

Now I'm confused. Should I just say this is not how much I wanted to spend on a gift or just say I don't wanna buy such expensive things out of my own pocket?

idk what's going on because she has been a very good friend and she understands financial issues really well so it's very odd for her to hand me this and expect me to buy it for her. If it was like one or two products it would have been okay to some extent but it's actually 9 products. She said to bring the full size because those are kind of regular use.

I keep meeting people who will always tell me we should get dinner/lunch together whenever you are free, we should go watch this movie together, we should go to this cafe and try this new item etc. Then they will make it look like they will be wanting for my text about when I'm free.

I do reach out always and say I'm free on this this dates , if they are free we should totally go!

then they say they actually aren't free. I will be all okay about it but then they ask that next time for sure? but then I will say next weekend? they again say they are not free

so now since I offered two times I get awkward and don't offer anymore since idk if they actually are just polite and can't decline or for real busy.

But they never reach out anymore to schedule it. This is a recurring thing with many people around me so I'm very confused if this is just a saying to end on a good note and I'm not understanding it.

At first she would hide it by making it look like me and my sister were just jealous of our brother and trying to rebel. But the more I grew up I started calling her out on it, the difference in behavior toward our brother vs us. Then one day she just started laughing and saying

"When you have your own kids you would understand, girls always leave after marrying so what's the point of raising them with leave if they are gonna leave whereas boys will always look after their mama and stay with mama after marriage also. "

I said ' then why don't you complain about nana favouring her sons more than her daughters if you were gonna do the exact same thing?'

she said ' I didn't understand back then but now I am older and realise why she did what she did'.

The entire time she kept laughing in a weird way like haha now you know the truth woops. Like no guilt no shame nothing.

It's been a few years since that conversation but I feel like since she said it to me so directly she has started becoming more relaxed about her favouritism since the truth is out. I love my brother but I find it very hard to love my mother as we are getting older because everyday I realise how she exploited me.

She never let me hangout with friends by saying she's sick and needs help in the house, she kept waking me up during my holidays to make breakfast for the whole family because she kept getting headaches in the morning but she would still sit outside so that when anyone comes she can say she's 'guiding me'. She continuously kept making me do so many houseworks that I had 0 energy for anything even my own studying.

I just don't know if therapy will help at all because I can't get rid of her due to us being from a culture where we just don't cut off a person. Even if you stop talking to that person others will continuously try to talk to you for years about that person to fix the relationship. I have cut off my cousin almost 2yrs back and still people don't stop talking about how sisters should stick together this is too much etc

I have been wearing hijab since I started learning more about religion. I like to dress very nicely when going, before wearing hijab I had a lot of options but now I try to dress modest and honestly it is expensive for me to buy abayas and all. I need to layer every single t-shirt with something different to make it modest.

I just might be bad at fashion stuff but before I could follow the generic styles with low budget but now with hijab Im struggling because the styles online are on the expensive side. So can anyone tell me what should be my go to's for everyday dress up in a very tropical humid country?

It wasn't even any heavy walking or super cutback on food. I just walked after every meal around my block for 30mins. My body started to feel better than the rest of the days I even felt more productive and optimistic.

For the food I started cooking at home and decided not to eat outside. The basic concept was to eat rice with any sort of protein with veg for two meals. I made sure to eat one fruit or one veg everyday with each meal. I also made sure to drink minimum 2L of water and sleep for 7-8hrs.

My body visually started looking toned and people repeatedly said I look well rested. DAMNITTTTT
