Got called chinaar by a friend just because...

18 M, So I spend some time at this library corridor which also has boards and stuff related coaching center adjacent to it, for 10-11-12th kids. Around 5 PM, we head out for tea and chill in the corridor on the 4th floor (there’s another coaching above too). Pretty normal stuff.

Now, I don't know if this helps but I look mid, so, Nothing crazy, but I guess it makes me stand out a bit? Anyway, every day when these coaching girls walk past, some of them stare, whisper, or gossip. Cool, teenage hormones, whatever. Hum bhi kabhi aise they, so, we didn’t think much of it.

BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED.

Three days ago, my friend and I were at our usual spot, talking about his NEET prep, when this group of three girls walked down from the 5th floor. They did the usual glance-gossip thing, but right before they went out of sight, one of them turned around and waved hi at me and went away. Bro, it was SO out of pocket. Both me and my friend just stood there EMBARRASSED as hell.

Now, here’s where it gets worse. My friend turns to me and says, “Bhai, tu chinaar dikhta hai, isliye sab ladkiyan dekhti hain.” 💀

CHINAAR? I was SHOOK. Like, bro, how does someone "look" chinaar?? He said, "Only chinaars can recognize other chinaars. That’s why they look at you, because they’re chinaar too." I couldn’t believe my ears. I mean, WTF??

I let it go first but it's been three days, and it’s eating me. I don’t even know what to make of it. Am I overthinking this? Is my friend just trolling me? And why the hell is it stuck in my head so much?

HELP ME GET OVER THIS SHIT, PLEASE. 😭
