I(23F) have lived in boarding school since I was 13 years old. 2 years ago I moved back home because the career my parents choose for me, I finally mustered up the courage to leave it. The first year was horrible. We didn't speak, especially with my father. Then around Feb last year I got an internship (WFH) but the pay was very less, I knew they would laugh at me so I didn't tell them. When they heard my dad laughed at me so hard but I had to tell him because I wanted a laptop but couldn't afford (my parents are rich). So I got another intership with better pay at a bigger company (WFH) and asked for the laptop again. This time they bought me one and they didn't believe me. So he would sit down beside me and check whether I was actually working or not. After 3 months of salary he finally believed.

A month and half ago I left that job thinking once I finish my college practicals I'll apply for somewhere bigger. It seemed fair. My parents had wormed upto me, my dad finally started talking to me after years. But as soon as I left my job it changed, they didn't take one single penny from me, my dad already has great income so it wasn't like they were dependent on me.

In the past month, many things have happened. They said I was insane, last time they called me insane when I wanted to choose my own career. My parents gossip between themselves that I wanted to go on a solo trip with my savings because I want to meet my boyfriend (I haven't dated anyone in the past 4 years), once they get my elder sibling married this year, they'll marry me off in the next 3 months, they have been talking about my marriage since last year, I think they have a boy in mind too. I have bigger dreams but they don't have faith.

Best solution for me is to leave home but the thing is I'm just in my 2nd year of college so it's hard for me to get a real serious job that'll pay enough to shift in another city. My laptop is at repair once I get back next week, I'll jump on searching another job, I can't afford to go after my passion now.

TLDR : I can't minimize it to a few sentences, if you don't wanna read all that it's fine. But I wanted to know if anything similar to what the title says happened to you? How did you deal with it?

My boyfriend (ex) vanished from my life almost 4 years ago, he never mentioned break up. One week ago he stopped replying to my messages he got drunk and beat up my friends boyfriend even hurt me, literally in the middle of the road on diwali night. I told myself that was the last straw, he apologized but only when I urged him to. I tried to maintain some distance but turns out I can't live without him. We met when we were 16 going on 17, we were each other's firsts. We were together for 3 years before the diwali night incident happened.

I always considered myself emotionally matured but this boy whom I saw growing upto be a man, even though an awful one had turned my life upside down.

Four years later I still think about him every day, every night, all the time. I reached out to him he responded a few times but he responds after months, I told to erase the past and restart together, I sent him snacks and gifts with my internship money but I don't know, thenI told him to have mercy on me and just say breakup from his own mouth but he never did.

I'm not asking how to get over him or something, I just want to understand the psychology behind it all. What makes a man act like that?

I don't own an iPhone and I don't plan to buy one either. I want a camera that takes both good videos+audio and photos.

Purpose is vlogging and posting pictures.

Budget would be maximum $450

Hello ladies, I'm an absolute beginner, never had a camera to myself. Can y'all suggest me a good camera, well under 30k. Some cameras I'm familiar with are digital, camcorders, vlog and the instant photo one. Currently as my first camera I'm looking for something in the middle. Quality or footage is my top priority. What camera except iPhone do y'all use.

Posting here coz a woman always has better opinions.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a camera. I don't know anything about it since I never had one.

As a beginner I'll try to explain what I'm looking for in general terms.

• I really liked the iphone 17 camera.

• My basic needs are [Photo] or [Photo + Video].

• Budget would be anywhere from $100 - $300 (In Indian currency I'm comfortable to shell around 30k)

Reason being I don't wanna spend on machine I don't understand and I have never tried photography before so I'm not sure whether I'll enjoy it or not.

• Some cameras I know and like are some digital photo only cameras, camcorders, vlog cameras and those cameras were the photo comes in an instant. But as someone who has nothing I'm looking for middle ground here.

• The quality of the photo/footage is the first priority.

Hey so I'm turning 23 next month and for the first time I have a good chunk of money in my hand due to internships.

My first pick was obviously to travel but my parents outright said no so now I'm thinking what to do.

Few things I have considered and backed down from are :

Skincare (not special enough)

Phone (will buy on bbd sale)

Camera (first time so don't know which one to get)

Kitchen aid (I bake a lot)

Converse Chuck Taylor Suede (not sure about the suede)

Cloths (I mean)

Lamp

Flask bottle

I would really appreciate some input from the ladies here. I love functional things, pretty things, literally anything.

Edit : guys these are the things I backed down from, you don't have to choose from here. I'm really looking forward to newer ideas.

Going through several posts of this community I realised that many of us face the same issue in different fonts which is not surprising since we are of the same age group.

• Overthinking

• Career tension

• struggling with habits

• Coping with unhealthy habits

• heartbreak and emotional turmoil

• Body image

Etc.......

For those of you who are trying to build/rebuild your life what life hack (easy habit) worked for you that might help others.
