Few years back i had decided that I would donate at least 1000rs every month to anything. I did for few months but couldn't keep up because of laziness and i didn't want to donate to the same place every month. Also they would keep calling to donate more. 1000rs is not much for me right now (Plz don't beg in comments 🫠) but it was hard to see money go when i am such a frugal person when it comes to spending in other places like food, clothes or personal stuff.

Yesterday, a group came and asks to subscribe for monthly donation of 700rs for some orphanage and I couldn't say no. I become pretty gullible sometimes 😅. I wanted to avoid monthly commitments but did it anyways. Maybe i will keep a reminder to cancel the mandate in few months.

I want to know from you guys, Do you guys donate (monetarily or voluntarily) to organisations or some cause you support ? If yes, (how much/what) is it ?

It is 3am and this thought is hitting me again. I once read somewhere in childhood that excessive masturbation can lead to infertility in guys. Though there is no scientific proofs to validate this claim, i still fear that I might be infertile.

I have been masturbating since I was in my early teens. And it was way more than average. I will say I am an addict. Still now, i jerk off atleast twice a day even with a busy schedule. I have tried too many times to take control but i still relapse.

Does anyone else also suffer from this addiction and have that insecurity that they might not be able to bear a child of their own ? I am overthinking now like this might be a reason for my divorce (i am not married though😅) and end up being alone forever

An old school friend of mine suddenly called me. I already had a feeling he’d ask for money, because he never really calls just to check in. But he’s a good friend—whenever I go back home, we always have a great time together.

That day, I was already pretty irritated because a few other friends had borrowed some money from me. I was getting tired of constantly lending money. It’s not like they don’t return it—they do—but still, I don’t like giving my money out like that.

So when I picked up his call, after a bit of formal hi-hello, he said he needed a favor. And I immediately replied, “Bhai bas paise mat mangna”
The thing is, I was actually ready to help him too, since he’s a good friend. I was expecting he might ask for around 15–20k, and I’d negotiate and probably give around 10k.

But as soon as I said that, it must’ve hurt his ego. He actually only needed 2000. Honestly, 2000 isn’t a big deal for me to lend—it’s a small enough amount to understand someone’s intent. He then said, “Just give me 1000, I’ll return it by the day after tomorrow.” I sent it, and he returned it the same evening.

Now today, I heard his POV from another friend. Apparently, he had called me with a lot of hope because it was an emergency. It was the first time he had ever asked me for help like that. And when I said “don’t ask for money,” it really hurt him.

Hearing this made me realise that I shouldn’t have said that. Now I feel like he may never ask me for help again, and maybe our bond won’t be the same as before.

If I meet him in person, I’ll try to do some damage control. But whenever money comes between friendships, it tends to mess things up for me. He’s the kind of friend who doesn’t really know my mindset about money, since in all these years of friendship, money never came between us.

It just feels bad—like I might’ve lost a friend.

It could be as small as maintaining a snapchat or duolingo streak.

Mine are
- going to cult everyday
- doing one daily leetcode problem (even if i have to cheat 🤪)
- play some of those linkedin games (mostly zip and patches)
- doing 1 lesson for kannada via airlearn just to keep the streak going

I guess i just do this because all of these apps has some gimmick like a pet which is happy if you maintain the streak.
