Before anyone jumps down my throat, I’m not even talking about this from a religious or traditional perspective at all. Look at it purely from a practical and psychological standpoint—the whole concept of polyamory is just messy, unnatural, and honestly, kind of draining to even think about.

​First of all, human emotions are inherently protective of the people we love. Romantic love, by definition, thrives on exclusivity and a unique bond between two people. Trying to divide that exact same deep romantic energy among multiple people doesn’t make you "more evolved"—it just dilutes the connection. You aren't giving 100% to anyone; you're just giving fractions of yourself away.

​Second, the logistics are a nightmare. Standard relationships already require so much communication, compromise, and emotional labor. Multiplying that by three or four people sounds like a full-time corporate job, not a relationship. It feels less like romance and more like a never-ending group project where everyone is constantly insecure and trying to "schedule" affection.

​And let’s be real about the "compersion" (feeling happy for your partner finding love elsewhere) thing. Ninety percent of the time, it just looks like people suppressing their natural boundaries and swallowing down massive amounts of jealousy just to seem open-minded or to keep a partner from leaving. It feels deeply unnatural to watch someone you love be intimate with someone else and pretend it’s totally fine.

​It’s constantly pushed online now as this "progressive, superior" way of loving, but honestly? It just feels deeply chaotic, emotionally unstable, and kind of off-putting. Some boundaries exist for a reason, and keeping romance exclusive is one of them.

​Am I the only one who thinks the normalization of this is getting way out of hand?

I’ve honestly reached my absolute limit. I’m so exhausted and I don't know what to do anymore. I don't see any way out other than just putting an end to all of this. I’m a Muslim, but my faith has become incredibly weak. I'am a t, and I haven't stepped foot outside or even seen the street for the entire summer break.

​I have zero friends. Nobody talks to me. My family is awful—they are toxic, and I hate them with a burning passion. I’m not allowed to go out alone because "it's shameful." I’m so tired. What am I supposed to do? I just want someone to save me, or I’m going to end my own life.

​My t years are completely slipping away. There were so many things I wanted to experience and do. I'm just so tired. Why was I born in this country or with these people? It's a strict Arab country... even if I ran away from home, I literally have nowhere to go.

Hey everyone, I need to rant a bit about the recent direction of the Life is Strange franchise (specifically regarding Max's story return). Does anyone else feel like our choices in the original game don't even matter anymore? It feels like the devs are just pushing for standard happy/convenient conclusions and completely ignoring the branching paths we spent hours crafting.

​First of all, if you chose the Sacrifice Chloe ending in LiS 1, the new game feels so incredibly empty. There are so many missing pieces. Sure, I know they technically acknowledged the past by throwing in some text messages and emails from characters like Chloe's mom (Joyce) or Victoria, but honestly? That just feels like a lazy, cheap cop-out to check a box. Arcadia Bay was full of rich, complex characters, and if we chose to save the town, we should at least see the actual, physical impact of that choice. Why couldn't they properly bring back or physically show these survivors instead of just giving us text-box cameos? It completely strips away the emotional weight and makes that heartbreaking sacrifice feel pointless.

​Secondly—and this is a major pet peeve of mine—what happened to Warren? The original game literally gave us the option to romance him. You can literally literally give him a final kiss right before the storm. The devs built up this genuine choice between Chloe and Warren, but in the recent content, it feels like they completely erased the Warren route. They act like Pricefield is the only canonical option and force it down your throat, completely ignoring the players who actually liked Warren and chose him. Warren was a beloved character, and erasing his potential relationship with Max feels like a massive disservice to the lore.

​Just to be clear (and please don't misinterpret my words): I am absolutely NOT homophobic or against LGBTQ+ representation in games. Not at all. In fact, Chloe is literally my favorite character in the entire franchise. I love her personality, her vibe, and her arc. I just personally don't ship her with Max, and that should be okay! That’s the beauty of choice-based games. We were given a choice to develop feelings for Warren, so why did the sequel content completely ignore that?

​It honestly feels like the recent games are playing it too safe and catering only to one specific side of the fandom, while stripping away the emotional weight and consequences that made the first game a masterpiece in the first place.

​What do you guys think? Am I missing something, or did the writers just get lazy with the continuity?

زهقت من قعده البيت وعايزه بكره اخرج لوحدي وعشان معنديش صحاب هبقى لوحدي وانا بقالي كتير اوي ما نزلتش لوحدي وبسبب التشدد امي بتقولي هو اخرك تتمشي على فيصل بس فا حد يقولي فعاليات ممكن اعملها

I want a movie or series where they're enemies who don't love each other, but the tension between them is really high. It could even be anime, that's fine, but I really want it to be like that, with lots of tension and both of them having difficult lives.

حد يقولي ويبسايت كده حلو عليه مسلسلات وافلام أجنبيه عشان بقالي ساعه بدور

I’m 16, and I honestly don’t even know how to start this, but I feel so incredibly trapped. I have so many dreams and so much life inside me, but I'm being suffocated by a super strict, conservative family and a society that feels like a cage. My heart aches every single day. I'm not even allowed to hang out with friends; my parents call it 'disgraceful' and tell me I should just stay home.

​I look at other girls my age around the world actually living their youth, and it just breaks me. I keep asking myself: Why was I born here? Why this country? Why this family? It feels so deeply unfair.

​This constant pressure and isolation have drained everything out of me, even my faith. My relationship with my religion is almost gone because it’s constantly used as a weapon against me. I am just so tired. No one around me understands, and my family always minimizes my pain because they think a teenager shouldn't feel this heavy.

​I’m completely losing hope. I’m exhausted to the point where I don't even want to exist or be in this world anymore. I have no one else to talk to, and I just really needed to scream this out because the weight in my chest is getting too heavy to carry alone

I just want to end it all

I feel indescribable pain in my heart. My teen years is slipping away before my eyes, and it's all because I was born in a strict Arab country.

I have many dreams I want to achieve, but they seem impossible. I'm suffering immensely psychologically; I want to end it all.
