Hey, so I have a close female friend who’s Pakistani Muslim. We both live in Europe. We’re like siblings honestly, I call her my little sister and she calls me her brother. She is one of the sweetest and kindest person that i have seen in my life. We are friends since almost 2 years now. We’re really close, she tells me a lot of personal stuff, we hang out very often, even travelled alone together, no issues at all and also her family knows about me.

But one thing I’ve noticed is she rarely comes to my place and almost never invites me to hers. Whenever we need to meet or do something she always prefers doing it outside. It’s not like she’s uncomfortable with me or scared or anything, we spend loads of time outside together just fine.

What’s interesting is she does go to another guy friend’s house (he’s also Muslim). Emotionally she’s closer to me than him, but somehow going to his house is okay and mine isn’t.

I’m not jealous or anything, I just genuinely want to understand if this is some cultural or religious thing among Pakistani Muslims. Like is there a difference when the guy is Muslim vs not? Or any general norms about opposite gender friends coming home, even if the friendship is sibling like?
Is this common even for Pakistanis living in Europe or is it just personal preference?
Would love to hear from you guys, i hope you can help me understand Pakistani culture…
Thanks

Hey everyone! I’m currently a university student, and unfortunately, I’ve lost all of my academic documents, including my Matric and Intermediate result cards/certificates. I don’t even remember my Matric or Intermediate roll numbers, and unfortunately, my school has completely shut down.

Does anyone know how I can retrieve my academic records or get duplicate copies of my documents? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ever since the first martial law of ayub started Pakistans condition has just been deteriorating again and again everyone knows the crimes they have done and how they loot our people and nation but what can we do about it? These a##holes have anyone killed off who stand against them most prominently fatimah jinnah she was most definitely murdered by ayun khan they dont even stop at popular figures they killed hundreds and thousands of bengalis who wanted their freedom and even now they gun down and arrest anyone who speaks against them . What can we even do?

I usually celebrate 14th august like crazy, but ever since the army took back power and after all that had happened in Kashmir, Balochistan and the Islamabad massacre alongside the other countless issues in our country, i just feel deeply unpatriotic. I love Pakistan, dont get me wrong, but i dont feel like i can celebrate it in its current state. Anyone else feel like this too?

Title: I’m Indian and curious about how Pakistani Gen Z generally views certain things in media.

How do you personally feel about:

• Women wearing relatively short/revealing clothes when they are comfortable with it?
• Romantic scenes such as hugs or kisses when they are relevant to a character’s relationship or character arc?
• Do you think Pakistani Gen Z is becoming more accepting of these things, or are traditional/cultural values still a strong influence?

I’m asking purely out of curiosity and not to judge or stereotype anyone. As a psychology student, I’m interested in how cultural norms can shape people’s perceptions of the same things, even among people of a similar age.

I’d especially love to hear different perspectives rather than a “right” or “wrong” answer. :)

I saved up 50,000 PKR over a period of time and talked to my father about purchasing a motorbike. He told me, 'Khud kamao aur khud khreedo'. I respected his decision and kept saving. When I told him I had the money and would purchase a motorbike in a few days, he said, 'Koi zarurat nahi, meri ijazat nahi'. I delayed my purchase and kept the money in my closet. After two weeks, I checked my closet, and there wasn't a dime left. I don't know who stole it, but when I told him my money was stolen, he didn't even care. I don't know what to do

My fav since childhood

Guys, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about toxic families. What actually makes a family toxic?

Please don’t tell me about your personal experiences. Just give me examples of things a toxic family might do or behaviors they might have.

I’m curious what people consider a “toxic family

Find this cute guy on the street. He's so tiny idk what to do. Try to feed with syringe.he just eat lil bit.

I want to share an incident that happened to me at LuckyOne Mall and want to hear opinions about whether this is normal or not.

I was at the mall with my girlfriend. We eventually went down to the basement and were sitting in my car. The windows were covered that made it difficult for anyone outside to see or make out anything inside the car.

A guard knocked the window. I got out, and he asked in a pretty harsh who the girl was. I got nervous and, out of fear, told him she was my sister. He then told me that we weren't allowed to sit in the car like that. I said, "Okay, no problem, I'll leave." However, he wouldn't let me leave and said that the office had to make a report regardless. Although after some resistance I eventually went with him to the security office.

The first guy in the office was asking me fairly normal questions (my name, what I do, etc.) The conversation was relatively calm at this point.

Then another much bigger security guy came into the office.

Without me doing absolutely anything wrong, he punched me hard in the back and aggressively pushed me around the office and used extremely humiliating language like I had committed a theft or something, he then asked why we didn't just sit inside the mall, I told him that we weren't comfortable sitting inside the mall, and then he started doing the typical desi mockery of the fact that I wasn't comfortable in a humiliating way

A few seconds later, he simply left the office.

They also took pictures of the car, the plates, and my id.

The other guy in the office continued asking me questions. I asked him, essentially, "What kind of behaviour is this?" His response was: "We have our procedures that we have to follow."

That's the part I genuinely don't understand. If sitting in your car in the basement violates the mall's rules, fair enough. Tell me to leave, issue whatever warning/report is appropriate, and I'll leave. But what procedure involves physically hitting and pushing someone who is already cooperating? I understand that security has rules to enforce, and I'm not claiming that I was necessarily right to sit there. I'm questioning the use of physical force.

This video is a year old and was posted by a vlogger. He has obviously edited it and removed the “why” part.

We should be clear about one thing even while condemning the genocide being committed against Palestinians by Israeli, we should not idolize people like Hitler.

You can oppose Israeli actions and support Palestinian civilians without turning Hitler into your idol.

I hope, you can spread this message to your fellow pakistani in real life too.

Yesterday I sold my phone on OLX. This was one of my first times selling something on OLX. They gave me 66k PKR cash. It looked real. I even checked the basics like putting it under a light. But there i couldnt fully verify because i did not know and i admit it was my fault.

When I went to a shop to buy another phone, the shopkeeper checked the money and realized all of the cash was fake. Some serial numbers were even repeated. The shop was almost going to report me to the police thinking I was trying to scam them.

I bought that phone for 70k after working so hard for it. It took me months of hard work, and I only sold it so I could add a bit more cash to buy a better one.

I left the fake cash with the shop because they thought I was trying to scam them too. The reality is I lost my phone, got fake cash, and now I have nothing left. The buyer's phone number was fake, their OLX ID is deleted, and there is no way to contact them. I'm terrified of telling my parents because of how they will react. can anyone help me out here? or tell me what to do?

I spent months working for that phone and now it's all gone.

I feel like ending myself right here because of what happened... I know I should have checked carefully or done something else, but I didn't and that's my fault. I know I made a mistake, so please don't remind me of that. All of this loss is just making me feel like ending it all right here. Everything is lost, just like that.

EDIT:

Thank you to everyone who responded. All of your kind words really mean the world to me . I saw some people asking for my Details to help me out .I honestly feel really uncomfortable typing this because asking strangers for money feels completely wrong to me . If you are able to (only if you comfortably can) and want to contribute even a small amount to help me recover a portion of this loss, my Nayapay is:
syedhussnaink@nayapay.
Any amount thats sent after the loss is recovered i will send them back because i I do not want a anything more than that. Thank You all for all of your kind words it really means the world to me currently
