Has anyone else been having issues with Reddit lately?

Profile comments not loading at all (even my own comments)

Other users’ comment tabs also not loading

Chats becoming laggy/buggy when scrolling through conversations that contain photos

Sometimes chats stop loading properly while scrolling

I’m on iOS. Tried reopening the app but still happening.

Wondering if this is a Reddit issue or just me.

I was in a close friendship with someone from the opposite gender for the last three years. We were both Muslim, and I genuinely cared deeply for her. Whenever she was struggling, I tried my best to help her emotionally and financially without expecting anything in return.

Recently, I went through a very difficult period myself and asked her for help for the first time. She didn’t help, and the way everything ended afterward hurt me deeply and opened my eyes to how emotionally attached I had become.

Through all this pain, I honestly feel like Allah was trying to wake me up and show me that I had placed too much emotional dependence and importance on another person instead of relying more on Him. I became attached in a way that slowly affected my peace, emotions, and even my heart spiritually.

Maybe this pain itself is a lesson and a form of mercy from Allah before I became even more attached and hurt later in life. Sometimes Allah removes people from our lives not to destroy us, but to redirect us back toward Him.

I’m still hurting, but I’m trying to accept the lesson behind it all and become closer to Allah through this experience.

Please make dua for me that Allah heals my heart, removes unhealthy attachment from it, and replaces this pain with something better for my dunya and akhirah.

I had a close friend for almost 3 years. During those years, I helped her financially many times whenever she was struggling, unemployed, sick, or short on money. Mostly things like ordering food for her. I never kept count or asked for anything in return because I genuinely cared about her and considered her one of my closest friends.

Even our first meeting happened because she didn’t have the right card to use the public bus, so I let her use mine, and that’s actually how we became friends.

There were also times I took care of her when she was sick, including taking her to the hospital myself and covering the bills.

Since January, I’ve been unemployed, and things have been really difficult financially. She’s working at a reputable company now, so when things got really bad for me recently, honestly no one else even came to my mind to ask except her.

Two days ago, I asked her if she could order me something to eat because I genuinely almost had no money left.

She took hours to reply just to ask, “Why? Are you hungry?” I said yes.

Later she told me she recently changed apartments, bought furniture on credit, and now has monthly payments. She also said she doesn’t even check her bank account anymore because she’s scared to see the deductions.

Honestly, even that didn’t hurt me as much as what happened next.

The following night, she posted Instagram stories saying she had just landed in Thailand for a vacation.

Something about seeing that after everything just broke me emotionally. I reacted badly and replied:
“Hahaha the irony… you could’ve at least hidden me from your stories. You’re honestly making yourself look terrible.”

She blocked me on Instagram after that.

Later that night, I sent her a calmer goodbye message on WhatsApp saying I didn’t hate her and had nothing against her.

I know my reaction was emotional and probably immature, but I genuinely cried afterward. Not because I didn’t get food or money, but because it suddenly felt like the friendship meant a lot more to me than it ever did to her.

I don’t really have many friends, and losing someone I genuinely cared about this way honestly hurt more than I expected.

Quick question: I don’t have a bank account in the UAE. If someone sends me money, is there any way to withdraw it without a card or account? Any mobile number / OTP / cardless ATM option available here?

I had a friend for almost 3 years. During those years, I helped her financially many times, mostly by ordering food for her when she was unemployed, sick, or even just having a rough time. I never kept count because I genuinely cared about her and considered her one of my closest friends.

Even after she got a decent job at a reputable company, I still continued helping whenever she needed it.

Since January, I’ve been unemployed. Four months now without a job, and things have been really hard financially. Two days ago, for the first time ever, I asked her if she could order me something to eat because I was genuinely short on cash.

She took 4 hours to reply, only to ask: “Why? Are you hungry?”

I said yes and told her I’m almost out of cash.

Then she disappeared again before saying, “Do you know I recently changed apartments, bought furniture on credit, and now I have monthly payments to make? I don’t even check my bank account anymore because I’m scared to see the deductions.”

I told her she could’ve just said that from the beginning instead of making me wait for hours stressing over it. After that, she stopped responding.

Last night, she posted Instagram stories saying she had just landed in Thailand for a vacation.

I replied: “Hahaha the irony… you could’ve at least hidden me from your stories. You’re honestly making yourself look terrible.”

She blocked me.

I cried after that because she genuinely meant a lot to me. I don’t really have many friends, and I honestly considered her one of the few real ones in my life.

Later that night, I sent her a goodbye message on WhatsApp saying I don’t hate her and that I have nothing against her.

What hurts the most isn’t being broke. It’s finding out that the people you’d do anything for won’t even show up for you once. Maybe I’m too emotional about it, but being blocked after years of caring about someone genuinely broke something in me.

Has anyone from a South Asian background been accepted and onboarded by Emirates for customer service roles in the last 6 months?

Trying to understand if people are still getting through the process recently or mostly getting rejected.
