Physical pursuits. Go walk in a park. Or run. Or jog. 
 Swim or maybe do body weight exercises. 
 This will give your brain a sense of some accomplishments. 
 Start a journal. Write down your intentions and feelings/emotions. 
 Go through these on week on week basis. Analyse why you feel this way. 
 Watch quality content such as Joe Rogan Podcasts. 
 Read book or listen audio book "Man's search for meaning".

Thanks for the suggestions. The problem I face with above is in regards to consistently doing these. I procrastinate after 2-3 days. Any idea on how to overcome

How to overcome being stuck and directionless in life ??

How to overcome being stuck and directionless in life ??- Grapevine

I turned 30 last month and I still feel i am a 20 year old. I lost the last 4 years of my life working from home and have started to go to office recently. I never worked together in a team, never been out for team lunches/dinners, never presented my work to the seniors/leadership. I have 4.5 years experience on the paper and my interaction with colleagues in person has been almost zero .

I don’t know how to do my taxes, can’t do basic servicing of my bike, extremely indiscipline’s, rarely track my expenses, can’t say ‘No’, haven’t upskill we and hence stuck in TCS, can’t stick to a hobby or interest, pathetic in managing my time, have no sense of punctuality, socially awakened, overweight with a pot belly and hence have confidence issues, can’t take care of myself in terms of self grooming, couldn’t maintain friendships as I used  to get offended when someone made fun of me or mocked me- my inflated ego is just useless. 

I can’t control my emotions, I sometimes get emotional and have tears in my eyes, I show emotions easily on my face, not smart when it comes to dealing with others, don’t know how much to talk to whom, whom to talk to, how to talk to and when to talk.

I’ve been told I’m pessimistic and highly negative about myself but I’m just saying things the way it is.
I have no responsibilities on life. I’ll be getting married the next year and I know I can take up the responsibility. But I still have the fear of putting my fiancé down. I love her a lot and I never even  would do anything to put her down.

My bad time management skills, inability to focus, getting distracted badly, being a slow learner, not networking, not having idea on making switches regularly, being too lazy and impatient to learn new things, not being updated in terms of on demand skills, tools , technologies, reluctance to learn something new and hence staying in comfort zone has screwed up my career.

I feel stuck and lost in life.
I honestly don’t know what to do.

Being a man child at the age of 30

Product Designer

These days I'm kind of feeling lost. I know everyone on earth has some purpose in life and finding it is hard... I'm at a point where finding my purpose in life is a complete waste.. Every time i try to change my life style I feel I'm stuck in my past.. If it's a career I'm not in the place where I want to be.. If it's love/ relationship I'm not with that person cause things didn't work out.. Even though it's over and that person moved on and so did I but I'm still stuck in the past... I'm not sure why and how but yeah... Sometimes I do wonder what life yields me... What should I do? How to come to a conclusion and how to choose the right path and move on in my life? What is the right decision I need to make to stop feeling miserable? I would like your suggestions folks and tell me what you'rea feeling too...

Feeling stuck

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am 23M working in a well renowned Fintech startup. Have got what I have dreamed of in college like high ownership, good pay and other similar things. But lately realized that I can't do these things for my majority of life. Although I enjoy my work but still feeling lonely and aimless.

Previous to September it was remote but now they have made it hybrid and I have to reallocate to Gurgaon and now I am feeling more lonely and aimless in life.

Have tried travelling and other stuffs inorder to find interest in life but nothing excites me.

What to do in life? Feeling aimless

Software Engineer

I’m a very private person and I was a bit confused whether I should write here or not, but anyway.

So, day before yesterday I was sitting on my chair after dinner and was thinking about my life and what the hell am I doing.

I realised that,
Saala bachpan se aaj tak race me hi bhaag raha hun. Pehle school me 1st, 2nd, 3rd aane ki race me. Then acche college milne ki race me. Then uske baad acchi job milne ki race me. Then uske baad agar ladki chahiye toh uske liye bhi ek race hai (Don’t have a gf, plz don’t take me wrong, it was a realisation)

My current daily routine is like this:
Wakeup everyday, write code, go gym, dinner, and then sleep and repeat this cycle everyday.

School ke dost peeche chhoot gaye, college ke dost apni life me busy ho gaye, colleagues se main zyada baat nhi karta and main akela padh gaya.

Feels like life is not intriguing anymore, it has no spark left. Its so painful to live everyday.

I feel like I don’t want to live any more, I want to die but I can’t cuz of 2 reasons.
1. I’m the only son of my parents.
2. If I die like this, then I won’t be able to come out from the birth cycle.

That’s it
🙏🏼

This week’s introspection

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

Market research

I work in one of the good companies out there,
My performance has been on track (if not great). But am stuck on the same technology, I badly want to upgrade to new skills but am too lazy to start  and I am continuously procrastinating and, at times hating myself for seeing this version of mine ( I have always been a good student and use to have loads of concentration back then)
Need some help on how to come out of this, Has anyone been in similar situations and come back out of it?

Feels stuck , lazy and needs advice/suggestion.

I can't seem to relate to much of the non-FAANG junta out there. I mean I have a cushy job with probably 0.1% pay of all SWEs(pretty much like all of us do). But these cookie-cutter roles have been taking a mental toll on me. Like I am getting paid but I feel a little purpose-less. What am I gunning for in this life? 

All my life I wanted to go to a good college to get into a good company. In college I wanted to get a good codeforces rank so that I could get into FAANG. Now that I am in FAANG I have nothing to look forward to. 

Any of you all feeling this way? Because I don't see myself offer-shopping and feeling much happy about that either.

Feeling depressed at Amazon(2YOE/41L CTC). Anyone else feeling the same way?

we become so busy in our day to day life that we take all the miseries at work, injustice for granted and move on with heavy heart and feeling low Few eg
- I dont like my work but have been doing this since long so no other option left
- Never looked at things from first principles and now its very late to start again with right approach 
Peers, family make it worse and we are stuck. 
I fee thats Injustice to our self and life. It takes a lot of courage to move out of this and spend time on what you are good at. 
Did anyone feel this and won this battle?

Feeling Stuck?

Consultant

How to over come feeling defeated and anxious as I grow older in tech field biased towards younger lot and shiny new tech stacks.

Worked in WITCH companies, no hope of getting into product based at 11 yrs exp.

I am no way extraordinary technologically wise nor got chance to work on complex projects just standard Crud apps on different tech stacks like Asp.net and SAP Fiori/Hana.

I shudder to think of being jobless at 50 with no job with no pension and max responsibilities on my shoulders at that time .

Can someone provide pointers how to come out of this rut? I would be grateful🙏🏻

Please help me shall I consult some doctor for this or is this okay. I don't have much friends that's why I am asking here

I genuinely need help

Sorry for posting here. Can anyone help me

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

How do you guys dissociate from office shit once you log out and not let your job be your personality. I am glad I joined grapevine so I can write about  all the shit that goes on and try and have an actual life outside office. 

In the name of hustle we have actually reduced the importance of living life to the fullest.

Dissociate from work

Associate Product Manager

I have been working in MNC for 1.5 years now and most people who joined with me are switching to different companies. I have plans to go for higher studies so not focussing so much on switching. Not sure whether I am doing the correct thing or not. 
People in my company are like "Bro tum kab jayega aur kitna din idhar".
#justsharingthoughts

Job_switch

I know its a cliched question .. but how do you guys really know what you want to do with life ? I am 27 years , i have been mediocre my entire life .. i am yet to figure out what to do with life .. i have a decent paying job but not content with life in general any thing that anyone did and gave some results .

Advice needed

I've been working for just over a year after graduating from college. I'm pretty happy with my prof life but I feel a sense of being lost and purposeless. After wrapping up things related to work I don't feel the motivation to do anything else. I've been staying in a new city where I hardly know anyone. What do I do?
