my friends do not like me why!!!

Priya posted her Bharatanatyam video online, pouring hours into those intricate mudras her grandmother taught her. The comments stung: "Why so serious?" Her cash-strapped friends scrolled past, too broke for dance classes themselves. One messaged: "No competition, but why Bharatanatyam?" She almost deleted everything. Then her grandmother called, laughing. "Beta, they don't understand yet. Keep dancing." Slowly, others noticed—genuine appreciation blossoming. Her art connected people to something deeper, something their Tamil roots whispered about. The community gathered around her posts, sharing their own stories. Priya realized her friends weren't rejecting her. They were simply waiting to understand.
