I grow up where my mom and grandma cooked home cooked meals everyday even when they came home from work. My grandma til this day still cooks home made meals 5 times a week for me and the family at the house. 😃

I've seen this to be true of a lot of Indians I've known over the years that they tend to play their cards pretty close to the vest. They haven't generally been very open people. I'm not even talking about especially personal things, but they just won't talk about personal things. There's a certain... caginess?

Like I remember this one time I knew an indian girl who I had been talking with for about a year. So one day we were talking about what we had each done to celebrate a holiday, so she told me that she travelled to [big city]. I knew she had also gone to [big city] earlier this year (mind you, I've known this girl for a little less than a year, so that's twice in the span of a few months), so I said "you seem to travel to [big city] a lot, do you have family out there or something?" And she immediately got defensive, said she didn't go there a lot and then refused to answer the question. She then asked me for details about what I did over the holiday, which I happily provided.

I understand how my question might be seen as a little nosy, but I also kinda don't see the big deal. I've known a number of Indians who behave this way though, Chinese as well, is this a cultural thing, or am I just rubbing people the wrong way?

Best setup is married and childless, right?

Just asking…jeez

I think having friends is a hindrance because you become useless to them the moment you stop become resourceful or something/someone more intresting takes your place and you just become thrown away leftovers.

Takes a hit on my self worth every fucking time.

there's a whole musical family in my orbit and every dinner they attend they break out the fcking instruments.

This is a single-family home, not a mobile or manufactured home
