Which part of adulting were you not ready for?
See more comments
1.Realising that you'll have to go for an arrange marriage
2. parents getting older, their deteriorating health
3. Forcing yourself into behaving like an adult and thinking or responding more logically rather then respecting your emotions, when you really want to just be a kid spreading love everywhere.
4. Realising that nobody actually knows what the hell adulting is and that mostly everyone is faking through it.
5. Realising how messed up the world really is and that religion drives more people then law/order/logic.
6. Attending funerals.
7. Heartbreaks and not being able to find love at all.
8. Endless responsibilities and expectations from family/society
Losing friends.
We thought we'll always be together, and then college happened and then work.
I've still not got over this. How is it that once such tight friends now don't even bother to respond on WhatsApp

1. Realising parents are getting old and there is still a lot I want to do for them.
2. Arrange marriage scenario - seriously it is a different kind of headache
3. Going through changes and being getting comfortable alone. It's hard, when you see your friends and people around you moving in life, going abroad, having marriages and you are just trying to figure yourself out.
4. You miss your innocence and freeness to talk with friends. Now, you have to think like multiple times and have to change yourself as time passes by.
5. Seeing a Transition where you could talk your heart out and now Keeping everything to yourself and then just overthinking on it.
6. Crying, and then wiping out your tears yourself.
7. Expectations from family and not able to fulfill it. Other societal.expectations and comparisons that lead you to doubt yourself
8. Going out yourself alone for comedy shows, movies, shopping, exploring and you don't try to bother people as I have dealt with experiences where people didn't had time for me where as I used to make time for them from my busy schedule. So, you change yourself and expectations are set to zero from everyone. Try to figure out yourself each day, try to stick to a routine, you follow it, either pass or fail, introspect yourself, and repeat that process again to make yourself each day better.

Expectations vs reality of love marriage. The worst place to be. 😅
Realising how Indian society puts parents on a pedestal and in reality, they are just human beings, and often very bad examples of one.

Fear of loosing this youth time , Getting left behind in this success race , Fear of Not getting enough respect in this society , Not able to achieve the things as thought.....
For me Adulting == Constant Fear ... I am no longer that carefree or say Bindaas.

The wisdom actually feels nice 😅
Also funny, ki bachpan ainvayi ziddi the
Female here.
Finding that "soul mate". Fighting the family to marry him. Spending all my savings on marriage rituals and for the luxurious life of spouse. Having a child with that spouse. Within a month, finding out that spouse has been having multiple extra marital affairs since before marriage. Finding out that he had a physical in car in apartment parking lot while I was upstairs alone at home, struggling to put my 3 month old child to sleep.
Behaving like a spy in my own house every moment sucks. Because he used to be my everything, my only best friend, my love, my heart. The process of detachment has been very cruel and hard and took me over 2 years of everyday fighting. Still haven't told our families. Caught in between thoughts of a fatherless child and gathering IRREFUTABLE proof as he is a seasoned liar.
Respect to you & all the best.
I see you taking control of your destiny and building a happy life in the long run while your husband is recklessly whiling away.
In the light of above mentioned circumstances, you can ignore him and quietly build your own wealth and shape your kid and not let him reach to his child.
So that once your son is matured enough, you can separate from him. I understand how painful it is for kids to not have a mom / dad.

Nothing actually
Losing friends (some moved away, some changed after getting money and some are genuinely busy)
Suddenly losing dad so you're a de facto person who is supposed to handle everything but you're young and introvert so can't handle stupid people around you.
Having an auto immune disease where you couldn't have done anything to prevent it but still listening a way to cure it from everyone.
Arrenge marriage is a different beast altogether I can write a book on that.
More importantly having no one who's mentally strong enough to actually listen to your problem so you have to suck it all up and put a f**king smile on the face because you're not man enough if you can't handle your problems.
I was not ready for Arrange Marriage. But forced to do because of societal pressure in Feb. Currently planning to get divorced by Next Feb. Realised there is so much life left than handling relationship dramas
She has some psychological disorders which I am couldn’t able to handle. Pursued for counselling many times together. But blame comes on to me from In laws side at the end. They are more focused on whom to blame than resolving the matters 🥲
