How to deal with memories?

Since I work remotely, I get a lots of dms asking for *quick calls*. Every time I see a message, I get slightly panicked. Is it normal? How do you guys deal with it?

All the things that one has done so far at times you feel you could have taken different path. Could have studies different subject (AI/ML/Tech?) Could have started something of your own after passing out from college Could have work harder on this which can give disproportionate returns( both personal and professional) Getting married early and investing as early as possible. I try to be grateful for things which I already have (and there are so many) but then there are moments where you feel you could have done better much better actually

- "We will get back to you" over and over again - 2YOE getting 95LPA - Mom forwarding her friends' married kids pictures (dropping subtle hints) - Attracting red flags, where efforts have dried up - Movies and shows watchlist growing, but guilt makes us think we are better off working - Travel bucket is overflowing - Personal projects have sided in a corner, because that ain’t getting anything - Age is catching up and money is not How do you handle all this?! How!

Sometimes I usually think, Why do I lose our school and college friends one by one? Is this a sign of maturity, reality, or something else? I am just 25 years old, and within 3 years I have lost 90 percent of my circle and the few who left, with whom I usually get time to chat, call, or plan to get out. And I feel that some day I will also lose them. Can you guys make some comments that I have became matured or that this is the actual reality of damn life?

It can be either from your personal or professional life.

I got into a startup (informal) and invested my savings and also took loan from friends and family. It would take a couple of years to clear up but I am happy thwt I didn't let go.of the opportunity and the learnings also realised the following. 1.I enjoyed the thrill 2.When something has to go wrong,It will 3.My priorities changed (family,health,mental peace) 4.I am enjoying what I have more than ever and not cribbing about what I don't have. I am about to touch 40 and lose all savings(instead loans on the head) but I have never felt so calm ;) Anyone with a similar life altering experience 😉

Don't feel like throwing them away, can't reuse them or keep them around me either except one or two things. All sorts of memories attached to the gifts. Any advice?

I noticed a pattern in myself. I chase a goal, I achieve it, be elated about achieving that goal for a few hours (A few days at best, if it's some really really great achievement), and everything feels the same again I'm off thinking about the next thing. Once I've got it, my mind just goes "this wasn't such a big deal". I got a pretty nice rank in NEET UG and also cracked the internship at Microsoft. I have won hackathons. I have overcome my shyness about talking to strangers. I have a lot of things to be proud of. I came really close to killing myself but have managed to live on, and this is my greatest achievement by far. I just wish I could be happy.

I've been seeing a lotta posts where men are venting about not being able to find the right girl, so just wanted to know whether it's the same for women too Here in Bangalore its hard to find a quality guy smh, (emphasis on quality). Dating apps are a dead end and even when you have organic “meet cutes” the men end up saying they want something casual and don't want to commit. How do you deal with this? Or rather, how do you distract yourself from these kinda feelings? P.S: don't come at me saying “its harder for men” - I'm sure it is lol I just want to know if there are women who also resonate with what I feel.

Hi everyone, sorry for the rant in advance! So I have recently joined as a consultant and got tagged in a project 2 months back. Given that it was a stress period deployment, the pressure at times has been maddening. Besides, I am a fresher from a not so same background, so I often take a little time more than others in a few matters in grasping things. At times, I am scolded by manager for some minor mistakes which I do not complain about as I consider those as learning steps but sometimes it gets me that despite working for more than 12 hours a day ( not even getting to charge that many hours). Not that I am looking for any easy way out but some constructive suggestions would really help. Thanks in advance.
