Friday nights don't excite me anymore. I couldn't play my pc games anymore😭

Everyone is busy!!!

Saving money just happens to standstill...

Nothing excites me anymore..

By each passing year of my college, im learning the art of being alone and enjoying peace in solitude.
The situation and scenes are getting worse and worse, and i lose myself on a daily basis. Now, it has become a routine to find myself by dropping the last inch of patience, self-love, and understanding.

Adulting pushes you one step closer to independence.

In a very chaotic place right now, moving to a new city, away from home for the first time, starting a LDR, nervously excited about the whole thing. 

Want to pick up new things. 
1. News: Shit at knowing what's happening around me. I know it's important but there's so much content everywhere. What few platforms will cover most of it? (PS: GV notifs sometimes do help with GK and starts good conversations :P) 

2. Books: Used to love them, trying to find my way back. Psychology, non fiction recommendations welcome  

3. Fitness: Gym jaana hai! Can show up consistently, just want a good environment, diet also needs work :/ 

4. Upskill: Marketer here. Don't feel like doing this most days, but aise nahi chalega, kaafi zyada hi chill kar lia 🥲

Adulting in a nutshell

Although most of us moved out as teens to pursue our degrees, during college, one is surrounded by friends all around, and it's hard for loneliness to hit except for those 1 AM Nights.
But as an early career working professional, for the 1st time in life, most start feeling lonely,
pick themselves up cook their meals, and maybe apply to new jobs because you hate your current job. 

The first thought over the weekends is to do the laundry and clean up the mess you made over there is no one for you to come back to, no matter how bad your day was, you still have to work on weekdays.

What I hate the most about this stage is the relationships and friendships, being away from parents,
surrounded by people in the office but can't open up to, maybe you are lucky and make friends in the office but still, not even getting the time to call them, and having multiple colleagues to hangout with but 
the day you switch jobs you will be leaving them behind, just like your high school friends were left behind 
when you moved to college, just like your college friends were left behind when you moved cities for a job.

You are aware and mature enough to know your mistakes and fuck-ups in the past but you are also chained in the shackles of habits you have made over the last 20 years. There is an opportunity cost to everything, do you sleep early on the weekend or party Friday night and end up being hungover on Saturday too, do you give your best to the job or start your master's prep?

It's like a world of illusions that lets you believe that something better is 10 steps away and does not let you sit still in the present.

So this is a universal experience?

Adulting in Indian Households

So I have been looking for projects in my company for around 2 months now.
I gave 4-5 interviews and got rejected in L1 interviews in all for one or the other reason.
Today, after so many days I got a chance to give client interview (happens after L1 interview...in case someone has no idea about it). It lasted 50 mins and I didn't perform well.
After feeling down for about an hour, I'm not feeling well.
I have observed myself that whenever I'm sad/down...I automatically gets better after few hours.
I should be feeling sad for loosing the chance that I got after 2 months but I'm like ....it's alright 🙃

Is this some sort of healing mechanism that my brain has created for me or I'm not sincere or serious about my life??

Is something wrong with me?

Too many things to manage, too many expectations to live up to, too many decisions to make. After all what does it matter!!

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Post your mental health issues. Peeps with good knowledge / experience in the subject, please suggest some pawssible solutions.

Mental Health

Long post; activity required

Since I increased sharing Adulting (not that adult) posts,
People connected 
People felt good
People felt bad
People were hurt
People realised 
People learnt 
People realised 

Unintentionally, people were hurt, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, but to just share my learnings/experiences with everyone so it might help.

So, this weekend, I've come up with a better picture (& simple).

To men, hope this simple image is related, boosts your heart beat and make you blush/smile (share with us your memory)

To women, you just know how to charm your man (assuming the bigger percentage like to wear a saree)

Once in a while core-memory activity:

All Men: Ask your partner to wear a saree you'd like to see in today 
Extrovert Men: Ask your father/grandfather how your mother/grandmother looked the first time they saw
Introvert Men: Just look for parents wedding album and see how beautiful your mom is.
Single Men: Take learnings on how to drape a saree for the future (from where? youtube?) (don't cry that you're single)

Women: why don't you charm your man in surprise and have a date at home, maybe?
Single Women: charm the single boys or maybe your crush

Also all men: let's remember our crush in saree 😌

Also some genius women: please teach men how to drape a saree in the comments 






P.S: I will not stop sharing learnings/experiences, if that also means Adulting content, as well, but in better ways.

P.S: If you've done any of the above activities, do comment ;)

So the recent Adulting content

I know it’s a very common question, and impossible to know or answer.
But curious how you folks here rationalize the meaning of life.

Add your age if that’s okay, for good measure

For me: I’m 27, my life’s purpose (or so I think) is to build something that helps a whole lot of people have a better life. And it is to make the people around me - family, friends, strangers happier (the scale of which depends on how successfully I pull this off).

Whats yours? Would love to engage on this :)

Thread: What do you feel is your life’s purpose?

Do you really need one? 
 Existence is a gift, just enjoying it should be enough.

Less than 50 days left to end 2023, What did you achieve this year?

1. Still alive! 
 2. Didn't get laid off! 
  
 Win Win. Little things matter people!

Fellow Grapeviners, can you please knock some sense into me?
For context, I've got a good-ish job that I think pays me easy money. i started working 5 months ago. lately, I'm feeling worthless and really thinking about quitting my job and do something impactful or crazy or financially irresponsible.
