Hey, I'm 25m Indian based in Sydney.

I’m a civil engineer working on major infrastructure projects. Outside work, I’m usually at the gym, trying Muay Thai, exploring a new food spot, reading or building one of the many ideas that lives in my head.

I’d describe myself as ambitious, thoughtful and quietly playful once I’m comfortable. I enjoy conversations that go beyond surface-level small talk, but I’m equally happy laughing over something completely stupid, going for a long drive with good music, checking out a café or finding Sydney’s best paratha.

I’m building a life that feels meaningful rather than simply following the standard template. Career and personal growth matter to me, but so do warmth, loyalty, family, humour and having people around you with whom you can actually be yourself.

Outside work, I’m into the gym, Muay Thai, tennis, exploring Sydney’s food spots, reading and writing. I also enjoy stand-up comedy, long drives with good music, and building things, into entrepreneurship.

I’m looking to meet a woman around my age who is kind, emotionally mature, curious and has a life or vision of her own. Someone who appreciates depth but doesn’t take herself too seriously. No pressure to force anything—I’d rather start with a genuine conversation, see whether we enjoy each other’s company and let things develop naturally. For me, the best relationships often evolve from friendships. If it doesn't go ahead, a good friendship is always great to have!

If any of that resonates, tell me something you’re currently excited about—or your most underrated food spot in Sydney.

Hey everyone,

I’m a site engineer working on major infrastructure projects in Sydney, and I’ve recently started exploring opportunities in construction tech.

I’m currently speaking with people in the industry and validating which problems are painful enough to build a business around.

Is anyone here:

* Building a construction-tech startup?

* Working on a ConTech idea?

* Investing in or advising construction-tech companies?

* Working in construction and frustrated by a problem that existing software still hasn’t solved?

Would be great to connect, compare notes and learn what others are working on. Feel free to comment or send me a message.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I’m a 25M based in Sydney, and I’m looking to make some genuine friends.

A bit about me: I work in construction/civil engineering, I’m into fitness, gym, Muay Thai, self-development, good conversations, cafés, walks, books, business/entrepreneurship, and generally trying to build a better life rather than just drift through it.

I enjoy conversations that have a bit of depth — life, goals, mindset, relationships, career, random ideas — but I’m also down for simple stuff like grabbing coffee, going for a walk, trying food spots, gym sessions, tennis, or just hanging out. Open to male or female, looking for platonic bonds only.

I’m mainly looking for people who are kind, growth-minded, reliable, and also wanting to build a real friendship/social circle. Doesn’t matter if you’re introverted or extroverted, as long as you’re genuine.

If that sounds like your vibe, feel free to message me. Would be good to connect.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 25-year-old engineer from Australia, and I'm looking for a mentor who's built something meaningful after a difficult start in life.

I didn't have the most supportive upbringing. There was bullying, a lot of insecurity, comparison, self-doubt, and years spent feeling like I was behind everyone else. For a long time I coped by living in my head — overthinking, analysing, planning, learning, and trying to figure everything out before taking action.

Over the last few years I've worked hard to change that.

I've built systems, habits, fitness routines, career plans, and a much better understanding of myself. I exercise regularly, journal, read, work on my career, and I'm actively trying to build a future instead of just reacting to life. In other words I have clarity, but missing the other half.

From the outside, things are improving.

But internally I still find myself battling old conditioning. Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Comparison. Shame. The feeling that I need to prove myself. The tendency to retreat into thinking instead of fully participating in life. I often feel I have enough clarity, more than many my age but underdeveloped in action, confidence, etc.

What I'm looking for is someone who's lived through something similar and come out the other side.

Someone who understands what it's like to carry a chip on your shoulder.

Someone who has built confidence, wealth, relationships, purpose, or a business despite not having the ideal foundation.

I'm not looking for therapy. I'm not looking for motivation.

I'm looking for perspective, truth, accountability, and lessons that only come from experience.

If you've walked that road and are open to sharing what helped you, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone,

I'm a 25-year-old engineer from Australia.

I've been thinking about posting this for a while because asking for help doesn't come naturally to me, but here goes.

Growing up, I didn't have the most supportive environment. There was some conflict, tension, pressure, and instability at home. Like many kids, I blamed myself for things that were never mine to carry.

I learned to survive by thinking.

I became analytical, self-aware, and good at understanding problems, but I also spent years trying to think my way out of situations that ultimately required action, confidence, and experience.

Today, I have more clarity than I've ever had.

I know the kind of life I want:

• A strong sense of self
• Financial freedom and wealth
• Meaningful relationships and eventually a family
• The ability to build something that matters

I work as an engineer and I'm actively trying to build my future. I train regularly, invest, read, write, learn, into entrepreneurship and push myself socially even when it's uncomfortable.

But if I'm honest, it still feels like an uphill battle.

I often feel like I'm carrying a chip on my shoulder that comes from not having the support, guidance, or opportunities that some people seem to take for granted.

I don't want sympathy.

What I'm looking for is someone who understands that feeling.

Someone who came from a difficult background, felt behind, carried responsibility early, had to build themselves from scratch, and eventually created a life they were proud of.

If you've been through something similar and would be open to sharing advice or mentoring someone who's genuinely trying, I'd love to hear from you.

What helped you most?

What were the biggest mistakes you made?

What finally moved you from knowing what to do to actually becoming the person you wanted to be?

Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been debating whether to write this for a while, but I think part of growth is learning to stop trying to figure everything out alone.

I’m a civil engineer from Australia, though most of my interests and struggles have always gone beyond career alone. Since I was young, I’ve been deeply drawn toward understanding systems, psychology, human behaviour, ambition, business, wealth creation, technology, philosophy, identity, and how people transform themselves. My mind naturally goes deep into patterns, meaning, and underlying structures.

From the outside, people often see me as intelligent, thoughtful, ambitious, and self-aware. Internally though, I’ve spent years struggling with something harder to explain.

I think I developed a very strong internal world early in life. I became good at analysing, reflecting, understanding, and preparing — but not always at fully expressing myself outwardly or participating confidently in reality. A lot of my life has been spent deeply thinking instead of fully acting, despite wanting a big life very badly.

The strange part is that I’m genuinely ambitious and hungry for life. I want to build wealth, meaningful relationships, strong character, physical strength, businesses, projects, and a future family. I want to become someone capable, grounded, confident, and able to positively impact the people around me. I’m especially drawn toward entrepreneurship, investing, AI, construction/technology, and building things that solve real problems.

But alongside that ambition, I’ve also struggled with hesitation, over-analysis, self-monitoring, fear of fully expressing myself, and feeling mentally “ahead” while underdeveloped in real-world embodiment and execution.

Over the last year, I’ve been trying to genuinely change this through action:

* consistent gym and Muay Thai

* building systems and structure

* pushing myself socially

* becoming more action-oriented

* building projects instead of endlessly thinking

* learning to tolerate discomfort and uncertainty better

I’m currently also working on a construction-tech/software idea alongside improving myself personally and professionally.

I think what I’m looking for is guidance or mentorship from people who genuinely understand this kind of experience — especially thoughtful, grounded, action-oriented people who have built themselves through real-world experience rather than just theory. People who understand what it’s like to have depth, ambition, and potential, but also feel stuck in your own head for a long time.

Not someone to rescue me, and not therapy through Reddit. I take responsibility for my life and I’m already trying hard to move forward. I think I’d just value perspective, honesty, and connection from people who understand the deeper pattern here and have come out the other side stronger, calmer, and more integrated.

Even if someone simply relates to this, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing from you.
