Growing up in an Indian household, we learn a lot of things that keep us from growing as individuals and even affects our mental health. A lot of things change when we realise how these things were holding us back and here are some things that we need to unlearn as adults.

Women have to leave their house and stay with the husband's side of the family after marriage.

Using casteist language.

People should be respected because they are older than you.

Not reporting domestic abuse or any other form of assault because of what people might say.

Seniors in schools and colleges are supposed to be rude.

Relatives being allowed to touch children, even if they clearly don't want to be held.

Aiming for Bollywood type relationships and seeking a person, even after they have said no.

There are many other things too but these are few we really want to get changed. What do you wish to unlearn?
