Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

Because, trust me, the world moves on a lot faster than we think.

So the next time society glares your way, ask yourself: is it really worth giving your peace to their fleeting thoughts?

That moment, I realized something profound—most of the people staring weren’t even judging; they were just... looking. And the ones who judged? Well, they went on with their day just as I went on with mine.

What started the whole idea of femboys? What is the whole point of a femboy? Did a boy or a man just randomly start dressing or acting feminine or something?

It was the first time I wore a saree in college. Excited yet nervous, I draped myself in my mother’s teal-blue saree, which she had lovingly ironed and handed over with that proud twinkle in her eye.

Are we afraid of society's norms? Maybe. But more often than not, we fear the stories we write in our heads about those norms.

And so should we.

What is the attitude of the Swedish people towards sending soldiers to Ukraine to fight for the freedom of Europe?

“Did I drape it wrong? Does it look too plain? Do I even look good?”

I was ready to bolt when my friend walked up to me, grinning ear to ear. “You look like a dream,” she said, loud enough for everyone to hear.

The problem with caring too much about what others think is that we hand over our control to people who might not even notice us the way we think they do.

So I’m getting piano lessons and my teacher wants me to get an upright piano instead of a keyboard. An upright piano is way above my price range, so what do I do? And what’s the difference between an upright piano and a keyboard?

Ah, society and its norms—always looming, always judging, isn't it? Let me take you back to an incident that forever changed how I view this question.

Take care!

As I walked into the college, every pair of eyes seemed glued to me. Some admiring, some smirking, and a few whispering. My palms were sweating, and my steps faltered as my mind spiraled into a series of anxious thoughts.

Do you agree that firearms are the most common weapon used in homicides of spouses, intimate partners, children or relatives? Should this data influence gun control policies?
