Reconsidering life
life has been really hard lately and i dont think anyone around me actually sees it
from the outside my life probably looks fine. people think I'm confident, funny, good looking, hardworking and good at what i do. I'm in the most healthy and loving relationship ever. but honestly i feel miserable most days not having a job is slowly messing with my head and its not even like im not trying. i spend hours everyday applying everywhere, messaging people, emailing recruiters, asking friends if they know anything, trying to learn new stuff so i dont become useless
but after a while constant rejection really starts changing the way you see yourself
I don't even recognize myself anymore. I'm just tired all the time i think i just wanted someone to know that im trying
Around July 2025, my friend paid for something on my behalf using his credit card (~₹8,500). I said I'd pay him back. No discussion about interest or timeline.
He started adding monthly "interest" saying he's passing on whatever his card charges. I've paid back ₹6,000 so far, but he says I still owe ₹10,622 — meaning total repayment would be ₹16,622 on ₹8,500 in under a year.
I don't know much about how credit card interest works so I genuinely can't tell if this is reasonable or not. Attaching screenshots of the Splitwise activity and his ICICI statement in the comments
Is this a normal amount? What should I actually owe here?
