So basically in September of 2025 I moved to Bengaluru for my engineering and made some local friends. Mind you even though I am from a small coastal town in Karnataka I was privileged enough to grow up with foreign cartoons, tv shows, movies, computer games which is mostly common in tier q cities. So I met few people and bond grew closer.

But then one day I got to know these guys are heavy drinkers and smoke weed and stuff. I was like fine it's their choice then they started uploading drunk videos of themselves on Instagram and oh boy the videos were just uncomfortable to watch man, they getting high from alcohol and weed , a guy was sleeping in his own puke , a guy was roaming half naked with a roll in his hand , face getting fully bloated due to stuff.

Call me a backward person or something but I am always against alcohol, cigarettes , weed, drugs. I might seem as a boring person but it's the childhood promise that I made . Alcohol was one of the reasons I got separated from my grandma as my uncle who was a heavy drinker made my father leave the house.

Now I am lonely again in life, doing my best to utilise the time for studies, games and gym. Maybe I was meant to be a loner who will judge people on their habits

I am a 19 year old M from India currently pursuing a ln Engineering degree in computer science. I am currently in A1 level of German and want to come to Austria for my master's degree.

Let me give you a background check :

I am a 19 yo who is going to gym from last 6-7 months. I live in Bengaluru for college but my native is a tier 3 coastal town in Karnataka.

My diet :

500 ml milk split with protein shake and a cup in the evening

200 gms of paneer

50 gms of soya chunks

200 ml curd.

1-1.5 scoop of nakpro plant protein or impact whey protein.

My aunt , who has this superiority complex because she lives in Bengaluru and is working in an MNC and earns well looks down upon us several times but okay I don't care cause I am trying my best to go abroad for masters.

She calls my mother and tells "protein powder causes kidney stone and kidney failure, tell him to get protein from natural sources like daal, rice, fruits "

First of all I am a vegetarian so powder , soya, paneer and curd necessary for me and I am 5'11 , 76 kg so I need to eat 90+ grams . She is like "80 gms of paneer daily is more than enough"

First of all you have mild diabetes, you drink and you have bone pain , sometimes you limp and you are not even 50 under 50 you are 🤡.

I straight up showed my mom few videos and explained how powder is made and how much protein is necessary for people everyday and now my mom is satisfied.

Then my aunt called again and asked about protein powder again , I straight up said "Yeah it's my life, I will look after it, my father has earned Enough so even if my kidney fails I will get a new one with dad's money. You look after your elder child who is still a minor yet smokes and vapes . He is fricking 85 kgs for 5'7 , he devours sugar like hell. Look at yourself you limp like an old grandma."

I know my relation with them is fricked for few months but I don't care I always knew I would be that arrogant distant child but it's my life I don't want diabetes at the age of 50 or 45.

Is he actually a rowdy or is it just because of his background and looks.

I'm planning to move to Germany for doing masters but I want to move to USA because of its Tech industry and environment.... Is it possible??

What typa clothes do people wear here , also will i look like a bum if i wear leather jackets ?

I'm from Gokarna and the only thing I had in my mind while growing up was settling in Mangalore but I don't know which areas are considered residential and are in close proximity to the city. Thanks 🙏

I am a 19 year old guy from India and I feel like people born in Usa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and EU regions have won the geographical lottery. It might not be a big deal for them but for me it's surely a big deal. I come from a country where it's impossible for you to live a peaceful honest life. Rich people are getting richer, poor people are getting poorer and middle class people like me are getting thrashed in every aspect. Clean air, clean water, good roads which should have been basic amenities are not being provided, the infrastructure is crumbling daily , our youth is getting intoxicated due to communalism. The politicians treat us like nothing and yet here we are voting for them. Hope inside me is dead. Even if I migrate somewhere I'll get bullied for my skin color and my accent and I have anxiety and stuttering issue which is like cherry on top.

And another thing I want to migrate to Usa or Germany for my master's but I think I cannot because I'm not that intelligent. I'm trying my best yet I am not getting good grades, it's like iam getting average grades even after putting good efforts. I was never like this before 11 and 12 (which is equivalent to last 2 years of High school in usa). People laughed at me , the classmates whom k really thought were my friends stopped talking me, sidelined me and I was made fun of just because I started getting less marks. All my life what I did was trying to fit in everywhere. Now I feel it's who I am just a failure who isn't capable of anything. I will try my best for DAAD and move to Germany for my master's else I'll just term myself as a wasted potential and just cope out. Thanks for reading I had these things in my mind from a long time.
