What is it about life that scares you at the moment?

Swiggy has become a toxic Ex for me now and there is no time to think about it at this point (for me atleast) I need to get back on my feet soon (sole earner in my family) and need some help. It has been a really long time since I prepared and stepped out there, so need some help in knowing what's going on out there. It would be great if someone can help with these: 1. Any interview resources I can start with 2. What all things I need/should prepare for 3. Any tips and tricks for the interview preparation I think it will be a lot of help for me and others too who are in the same boat. I was an SDE2 here and thinking of stepping up to SDE3 as well but right now even an SDE2 role would suffice. So will prepare accordingly

I'm afraid that time is flying and I will not be able to do things which I thought I will do for my parents. What I'm doing- recently moved closer to them and will try to use extended weekends for doing those things (mainly experiences). Go ahead and tell us your fear and what are you doing for that

Was thinking about our lives. Ever since you are in school, you have something to look forward to. When you’re in 1st grade, you know next year it’s 2nd grade and so on till you finish your undergrad. Suddenly, you could be everything or nothing at the same time. Those who are good at this game of eternal growth end up grinding their lives away in the PCM -> Engg -> B-School -> Consulting hell loop. Weirdly, the determinism in growth fades away suddenly and you see people finally pursuing diverse fields. Then, the realisation kicks in. You’ve been conditioned to chase eternal growth. That is what brings meaning to you in every part of your life. Today has to be better than your yesterday, or else it feels like you’ve failed. I wonder how sustainable that is but till then we will continue to throw our youth away. My 2 cents: You have a brief moment in history. Don’t spend your 10 years of prime in doing things that don’t bring you any joy. Don’t make the same mistakes all of us make chasing joys because others are chasing them. Find your own meaning to this eternal growth.

Has anyone thaught what's good and Bad?why shud we exist in first place? We all make money to live , to eat food , to find a family that we like it or not but forced to get used to it sometimes, work hard for money and then die someday , just like any other animals , what's the point of it . Why die someday after hard work and no enjoyment or die with enjoyment ? Why!!... Anyways noone's gonna remember me , you , or anyone in 100, 200, 1000 years... What's the purpose of living a life according to someone as good or bad ...why live in first place?... If we are born to die , then why be born? Work hard to get a good job , and then to get a good wife ? Do they work that way nowadays? Do you think that if you get rich and find a partner, is she attracted to you or to your riches? And at the end of the day everyone wants a beautiful person who is also rich and doesn't contradict with you..... And I am losing hopes in this generation, in this era , in this world and the entire humanity which is fading away , in the form of society we let humanity die, This world is not for humans alone but for animals also....but we never respect the dogs we see on roads , This world is not fair , and why shud we pretend to be good in an unfair world ? I don't believe in life after death anol, you are made of cells and they do decompose after you are burried and whatever consciousness is it's nothing but release of chemicals that creates an illusion..... And we all believe in that illusion....

Please respond honestly based on your experience. no words from books or random thoughts.

What's you take on working ... Is it something that we don't get about the work or money? What's hidden here from us who are earning for their survival and hoping to become Crorepati/Millionaire with the job... Please share your take here for us all 🙏

Guys please give me some tips to become fearless. I alway fear in every work. Whether it's joining new company,taking some tough work, doing something new, you name it and I always have fear. Fear of what will happen next,how will I manage that, is it even possible, what if they don't like me etc etc etc. I am currently in my early 20's and I don't want to spend my life fearing from everything. Please peeps guide me or give some mantras based on your life experiences how not to fear or how not to get that feeling.

I got laid off in Jan. Took 4 months to land a job finally and joined a new company in May. This new company seems to be silently laying off people now in the name of cost cutting and likely be trying to raise next round of funding although they previously raised previous round in Aug-2022. Although right now it's more of they need me (my role, I'm the only person of this role) more than I need them, I'm 70% confident that I might not be impacted, but the 30% chance is keeping me sleepless. What do I do? Pretty traumatized from the first layoff.

I used to be a creative guy in my mid 20s. I learned to play a guitar, could sketch pretty well and also used to work out pretty regularly. Lift has changed drastically in the last 2 years and I now find myself no time to spend on my hobbies. I tuned 30 recently and have been under slight shock that my responsibilities are bound to increase due to family and work. I had no responsibility till now and had lived a care free life. Now that I am engaged, I've realized that I need to dedicate my time for my family, my well being, my upskilling and also some to to evaluate my finances. This has also made me realize that I won't have enough time for my hobbies/interests. I badly want to learn to play an electric guitar and the fact that I won't have much time terrifies me as I need to make a choice of doing something that I love (learn to play a guitar) or doing something that helps me to live a life and pay off my bills which basically is my full time job. I might have a child in another 4-5 years and the responsibility of having a child terrifies me even more. I don't want to make a choice between being there for my child and being there for my work. I'm not sure if I'm over thinking or just being realistic but not having enough time for yourself due to work and family has been bothering me lately. I'm 30 and the fact that responsibilities are bound to increase in my life terrifies me. Is this a common and a normal feeling or is this unnatural?
