Hey, 23M from Kerala, India.

I've been single for most of my life. I've had two relationships, both of which lasted around a year, and I've been single since December 2023.

Lately, life has been feeling a bit quieter than usual. Not necessarily bad. I actually enjoy being alone most of the time. I go to movies alone, get food alone, go places alone, and I'm perfectly fine with it. But sometimes it gets really lonely. It's just so quiet.

I think what I miss is having someone who's just... there. Someone close enough that you can tell them everything, even the most pointless things. Or someone you can just sit with in silence and still enjoy the moment.

I do have friends. When we're together, we're talking, trolling each other, laughing and doing all that stuff. But once everyone leaves and goes back to their own lives, it feels lonely again. Like the noise disappears and you're back to being alone.

Home is pretty quiet too. It's just my parents, my grandma and me, and we don't really talk much. My father and I haven't spoken in around three years. That's a whole other thing and I don't really want to get into it here.

I have some online friends too, but it's still nothing like having "that person."

I miss having that person you can send your most random thoughts to just because they crossed your mind. Someone you can tell about the weird dream you had last night. Someone you can randomly message at 1 AM and just start rambling about something completely stupid.

I've tried dating apps for around 1.5 to 2 years now. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Happn, Arike, all of them. And honestly, it's been terrible. Barely any good matches, and the few I did get somehow made it worse.

Some people just used me to vent about their problems and then disappeared. Some called me boring because I don't smoke or drink. One person told me my spelling of "Hi" was cringe. Another said they weren't active on the dating app and gave me their Instagram, so I texted them there... and then they basically disappeared too.

Some only show up when they want to vent about something going wrong in their life. I'll listen, I'll talk, I'll try to be there, but when it comes to actually knowing me or asking anything about my life, there's nothing.

I've had enough conversations where I ask questions, try to keep things going, show interest, and the response is just "hmm", "mm", "haa", "ok", "liked your message", or "I'm busy, ttyl."

And after a while you just stop trying.

I think what I'm looking for is actually pretty simple.

Good morning messages. Good night messages. Someone asking how my day went. Someone asking about the things I'm interested in. Random updates like "hey, I'm here", "I'm going there", "I'm doing this." Someone sending me something and saying "this reminded me of you."

Someone who doesn't disappear once the initial excitement wears off. Someone who actually wants to know me, not just someone who likes having someone around when they're bored or sad.

I want my person.

Someone I can lean on when life gets heavy. Someone I can be that person for too. If they need me, I'll be there. I just want the same kind of presence in return.

I don't think I'm looking for some perfect relationship or some movie-like romance. I just want someone who genuinely wants to be there, and wants me to be there too.

And no, I'm not posting this looking for a relationship or trying to find someone through this post. I'm just saying what's been on my mind lately.

Sometimes you can be completely okay with being alone and still wish you weren't alone.

Hey, I'm from TVM, 23M. I've been single for almost 4 years now. Had 2 relationships... well, I don't even know if I can call the first one a relationship.

Met this girl during a 3-day Plus Two camp. Man... her eyes. Fell for them instantly. We talked throughout the camp, exchanged numbers on the last day, and after the camp we kept talking on calls every single day. Never actually met her again after that camp. One day I finally told her how I felt. She took 5 days to reply.. When she finally said yes, I was over the moon.

Then... boom.

One random day she just disappeared. Ghosted me completely. After a while she came back, and my dumbass thought she missed me and wanted us back. Nope. She had found someone else and literally came back just to tell me she found someone else.

The second relationship... yeah, that was probably my first real love.

She was a friend of a friend. Started chatting on Instagram, hit it off, and surprisingly she confessed first. We were in a long-distance relationship for about a year. We barely met—maybe once a month—but honestly it was nice while it lasted. And before anyone asks, no, there wasn't any physical stuff or anything like that. We eventually broke up because of a bad fallout. That's all in the past now. She's married now, and genuinely, I'm happy for her and wish them the best.

After that I was mentally down for quite a while. Didn't even want to think about relationships anymore. Thankfully my friends pulled me out of that phase.

Now I'm at this weird stage where I see a girl, admire her for two seconds... and that's it. My brain just shuts down. I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do next.

Last year I downloaded every dating app you can think of. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Happn, Arike, OkCupid... if there was an app, it was probably on my phone. Used them for almost a year.

Know what I got?

Five matches. Total.

Three of them talked for like 5 minutes and either ghosted or unmatched me.

The other two...

One girl asked if I smoke, drink, or do weed. I said no, I don't do any of that. Her response?

"You're boring. I don't want to spend my time on you."

The other one matched with me. I sent a simple "Hi" to start the conversation.

She replied saying... the way I spelled "Hi" was cringe and that we wouldn't work out.

WHAT KIND OF AN EXCUSE IS THAT?

After that... nothing. Not a single match. Not a single like. Deleted every dating app yesterday because I was honestly just done.

Instagram isn't any better either. I see someone who seems nice, I follow them... and then what? I don't even know how people start conversations anymore. I don't know how to figure out if they're single, interested, or if I'd just end up looking like a creep.

The thing that gets me the most is when I go out. Movies, cafés, beach... everywhere I see couples around my age or even younger. Some are laughing together, some are arguing, some are making up five minutes later. And I just sit there thinking...

Am I really that unlovable?

I don't think I'm that bad looking. I don't think I'm a bad person either. Maybe I'm a little boring, sure. But this boring?

Sometimes I see the most toxic, controlling ettayis somehow ending up with absolute gems of girls. Even the kid I used to tutor got into two relationships during the time I've been single. Dude's only in first-year degree.

I'm not looking for hookups or flings. I'm not chasing some movie romance either. I just want someone genuine. Good communication, trust, loyalty... that's literally it. Feels like even that is asking for too much these days.

Anyway... here I am typing all this on Reddit while blasting Maula Mere Maula on Spotify.

Bro...Can some romantic shit happen to me for fuck's sake?

Any good counselling/ therapist/psychiatrist at trivandrum??

I need to go see a counselor/psychiatrist/anything for my mind feels like I'm going in a wrong direction (not drugs or some shit)

Can anyone suggest me a good doctor? How are the rates, hours and is there any meds? Idk what to ask .. please help

I ride a TVS NTorq Race XP 125 and honestly the crash guards provided by the service center are complete garbage.

Last week my mom had a minor fall with the scooter. The crash guard itself is still perfectly fine… not even scratched properly. But somehow the right-side lower body panel got completely shattered and broken.

Like what’s even the point of the crash guard then 💀

I need suggestions for actually strong and protective crash guards for the NTorq. Something similar to those thick black crash guards people use on the Yamaha RayZR 125 that actually absorb impact and protect the panels.

Any NTorq owners here using good aftermarket guards?
I don’t care much about looks anymore — I just want proper protection for the scooter.
