Omgggg I can't believe my closest friend got engaged today for real.
So I guess you all know I posted about Saishyam before who is my close friend. He was my classmate in 11th and 12th grade but we kept in touch even as adults through WhatsApp and Instagram. I trusted him enough as he was always matured and understanding and slowly opened up about my bullying history, the reason behind my shyness, social anxiety and then my MBA including my MBA crushes, women distancing themselves, ghosting and also the job search frustration. He always listened, was always supportive, gave great advice. We even had phone calls and what not. He always supported me and even shared about his own job frustration when he was unemployed for months 2 years ago. He is from Chennai but living in Bangalore in India since childhood and I am from Siliguri in West Bengal living in Bangalore since 2008.
He has always been my close friend. I am 25 now and he is also 25 or 26 now. But today was the shocker. I suddenly saw he posted on his Instagram stories and he got engaged today. I was shocked and idk why. He was always my close friend to whom I shared everything so seeing him getting engaged felt so strange. No i am not envying at all. I am just shocked and in disbelief for some reason. But again as I am done with my MBA fully 10 months ago and have been job searching and struggling to find a job, it makes me feel in such a different stage of life than him. It feels like i am still figuring out life even in my mid 20s whereas he is already settled and now engaged and will likely get married soon too. Also in our phone calls and chats he never mentioned about his SO or anything so the the sudden engagement felt unbelievable. I don't know whether she is someone he dated or whether its an arranged marriage but yeah I am just surorised. I am happy for him and congratulated him but I am just in disbelief. I am definitely not looking for marriage now too anyways but still I have been seeing some peers who are like 23-26 already getting married and engaged and wonder whether I am kinda behind in life or not.
