The saddest part about this season is watching people slowly get emotionally broken while the audience is expected to treat it as “content”.

Yes, contestants like Himanshu, Diksha, Keona, Anushka — all of them had flaws. Nobody on the show is perfect. But the level of constant targeting, mockery and bullying towards certain people felt genuinely uncomfortable to watch after a point.

And what hurts more is that some of the people who were treated the worst were also the ones who seemed the most emotionally genuine.

Himanshu & Diksha especially deserved so much better. They had chemistry, loyalty, emotional connection, mutual respect — and unlike many others, they didn’t keep changing partners every other week just to survive in the game. Yet the bias against them was visible throughout.

You can dislike contestants without dehumanising them.

I’m 22F and I’ve been stuck on the same guy for 5 years someone I never even really had.

It started on my first day of university. I saw him from behind just a tall guy in a pink hoodie and something about that moment stayed. I didn’t even know his face, but I remember the feeling. It was new, intense, and weirdly certain.

Eventually we crossed paths, he noticed me, and we became friends. We talked, sat together in lectures, texted a lot. There were small moments that felt like they meant something like he’d look back when we passed each other, or ask me to save him a seat. We even planned to meet (which failed once in a very movie like way ,he showed up late, drenched in rain, but we missed each other).

Then I found out he had a girlfriend of 2 years. That should’ve been the end, so I stepped back. But things didn’t just end cleanly. He’d come back randomly calls, conversations, small attention then disappear again. At one point, his girlfriend called me while his friends laughed in the background. That was probably the moment something in me just shut down. I cut him off after that.

It’s been 5 years. He’s had multiple relationships since. I haven’t really had one that meant anything.I tried to move on, even dated someone else, but it felt forced. It didn’t last, and honestly just made things worse. I don’t feel that same pull toward anyone else. It’s like something started with him and never properly ended.

I used to be a lot more light, I think. Now it just feels like a part of me stayed stuck in that time.

Has anyone else experienced something like this being unable to move on from someone who was never really yours? How did you get out of it'
