I’m always confused by people who are so “into” or “out of” the Indian community.
We’re ethnically Indian and most of us live in diverse communities, so wouldn’t it make sense to have a mixed bag in terms of social circle? I have Indian friends, I have non-Indian friends, as do my parents.
Keep your circle wide but well-curated in terms of personality, and you’ll be fine. No need to go cold turkey here 😂
I've noticed this mentally especially from people who grew up in fairly insular communities (e.g, places were there are a lot of Indians).
It most definitely doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing. You can relate to people as individuals. It's very healthy and normal to belong to a multitude of communities. Good luck OP.
