'Wealthy yet lonely': 27-year-old offers ₹6,000 for someone to talk to him every day after lunch, before sleeping, and while driving

A 27-year-old man has sparked widespread discussion online after posting on Reddit offering ₹6,000 per month for regular conversations to help him deal with loneliness. The man, who comes from a wealthy family and holds a decent position in his career, wants someone with emotional intelligence to talk to him during his daily office commute, lunch breaks, and before sleep.

The Unusual Request

In his detailed post, the man clearly mentioned four conditions: the person must have emotional intelligence, a calm voice with polite undertone, never create any “kalesh” that disturbs his peace, and pretend to be genuinely concerned about him. He specifically wants the person to regularly ask about his health, diet, mental health, work, and life in general.

Why He Needs This

The man revealed that his parents are not emotionally available. He also shared that his last relationship was extremely abusive, which left him with anxiety and chills even when thinking about it. He clearly stated he does not want any suggestions about marriage. Working in an office with biometric attendance, he fears any mental breakdown could affect his sleep and overall stability. He plans to pay ₹3,000 every 15 days and mentioned that the compensation can be increased significantly later if things work out well.

Heartwarming User Reactions

Many Reddit users responded with kindness. One user wrote, “Hey, i’m here to talk to you anytime, dm me and you can just donate the money to anyone in need. You seem to over think a lot.” Another commented, “A true hero here. Don't worry that much here to talk to you and honestly you don't need to splurge money for such things instead maybe donate to needy ones if you can.” The original poster replied, “Thank you everyone for reaching out. It just kinda restores my faith in humanity. Also, many people have said they would do it without money.” He also added, “I strongly feel a monetary compensation adds sustainability.”
