1. Hi Team, I am from Mumbai and I am pursuing my degree now. I have a darker complexion compared to people here. My friends are really nice but may be un-intentionally they pick on me based on my colour. It gets annoying and I feel very low. I don’ t stand up for myself as I feel I’ ll lose my friends. But all this is breaking my confidence. Please Help. Dark is daring! Dark is deep! Why do you bother about your skin color at all? Don’ t be intimidated by the immature people around you who pick you based on your color. Be proud of what you are. End of the day, it’ s your character and personality that’ s going to make all the difference and not the color. Stay calm, cool, smart and positive. That’ ll make you more beautiful and not the color!
2. Hi, I have trouble keeping up with pressure. I undergo depression most of the time and that definitely doesn’ t feel good. I feel like staying back at home, under the blanket almost all the time. What do I do to bring myself up? Look deep within yourself. Explore whatever you are. Try to bring out the best in you. Always remember, not everyone have the same qualities. Some discover them early and explore them to the fullest and some discover them much later. But everyone has some innate qualities that make their personality. Accept what you are and if you want to change, don’ t force it on you. Take baby-steps to open up. List down
what you want to achieve, personally and professionally. Also list down how you think you can do it, one by one. Start working on it and see how it progresses. You will be the butterfly that blooms out beautifully from the cocoon one day, but only if you try.
3. Hi, I have troubles with my boyfriend all the time. He is very abusive, but I really love him. I definitely can’ t let go of him. I want to convert this relationship to marriage but no one seems to support me. Any suggestions? There are two ways to approach it: Way 1 – Talk openly. Explain your feelings and make him understand how you get hurt openly. He will not change one fine morning. If it is because of some misunderstanding and you want to give him one more chance try this out. Way 2 – You analyze the situations practically and take a Decision whether or not to go forward with the relation. Don’ t expect an abusive partner to get better with marriage! Imagine what would happen to you and the families( if they are involved too) if things get worse after marriage? Give some more efforts to straighten things between you both. But be practical about the entire matter. Don’ t let your emotions take over your life. Even if things don’ t go well, it’ s not the end of the world. You can take all your learning and experience from this relation to create a more beautiful one later. It’ s really no big deal, definitely not bigger than your own life!
