I’m 22M from India. I’ve grown up entirely raised as an indoor kid who was expected to only study. I had an absent father and no relationship with male cousins or my uncles. I didn’t even have neighbourhood friends while growing up. In my country, cricket is a big deal especially for men. Just like baseball in the US. Every guy knows about it, talks about it, plays it. But I don’t know anything about it or any other sport. My country is so good at cricket yet I haven’t even watched a single match. In fact, I learnt the rules of this game yesterday only through chatGPT. I see all my friends talking about it, watching it and enjoying the match. They are very nerdy about this topic. I’ve been feeling sad and disheartened for so many days now. How to get over this feeling. It makes me sad thinking how I didn’t have a normal childhood at all. please help me submitted by /u/positiveMinus1234
