How does it feel to have a sibling? I am a single child and have always wondered how would it be to be with a sibling. Yes I was always alone and there is this pressure to excel cause you just have this undivided attention. But on the positive note you also feel more loved and pampered because of the same. I recently got to know from my parents that i did have a younger brother who sadly passed away during birth. Since hearing this, I’ve found myself reflecting on how different life might have been if... 3 2 replies

How do you guys handle being blocked/ghosted outta nowhere I’ve been talking to this friend for around 2.5 months. While we didn’t chat much recently, they still remembered to wish me on my birthday yesterday, which I really appreciated. But this morning, I woke up to find that they had blocked me on Discord. It felt so sudden and unexpected, and I can’t figure out what might have caused this. Has anyone here gone through something similar? If so, how did you process it? And I've been kinda going hyper about it as I miss talking to them,... 2 3 replies

Why do people in this sub always blame politicians? I have read 2-3 answers related to problems in India, and most of the comments simply blamed politicians. I watched a video by Acharya Prashant where he mentioned that if he were to contest elections with a focus on development, reducing pollution, creating more jobs, etc., most Indians wouldn’t care much about it. Unless he talks about a specific religion, caste, language group, or community, no one would vote for him. And, to some extent, this seems true. I’m not saying politicians shouldn’t be blamed or held accountable, but... 5 8 replies

Why Is It So Hard to Find Someone You Truly Vibe With? I have around 7 friends, and while half of them are female, I can’t say our humor aligns. It’s not like I can’t send them memes or reels, but they just don’t seem to get it. Our wavelengths just don’t match. They’re all from different age groups too. So, I end up saving memes and reels to myself, wondering if this is all because of ADHD or something. It’s the last day of the year, and I do have friends who’d be one call away for a party. But... 3 9 replies

Why Are Scam Transactions Not Being Reversed? Hello everyone, Lately, I’ve been reading a lot about the ongoing issue of scams, where people are losing significant amounts of money. Victims often end up making UPI transactions or bank transfers to the scammers' accounts. My question is: Why are these transactions not being reversed even after reporting the case to cyber authorities? Once a UPI ID is identified, the police should be able to trace the bank details and freeze or block the account, right? After that, the individual's information could also be retrieved. So, why can't... 4 0 replies
