I wish i could skip an year or two of my life

24 years and i feel like skipping one or two years of my life Why is the life so hard? I know everyone have struggles more than i do but i cant help but feel sad and frustrated all time Staying away from family in a different city with a stupid job( job is there but no project or work from more than one year) Not able to switch job because i do not have experience Being alone with no friends in pg or office No work to keep myself busy Could not find any clubs or volunteer programs to try Tonnes of relatives in this city but no one that cares about me or not even texts me once in a month to check how i am I am so frustrated and sad Not able to overcome homesickness Not able to start studying at all Not anymore interested in anything Nd cannot forget the stupid pg food at all

Life is like test after test now One bad news after another Cannot find positives

my life's same as yours, except the part that I am unemployed even after 5 years of sleepless anxious nights of the fear of "what if I don't get a job?". It's been a year now since I graduated. I work damn hard, apply for countless jobs everyday, upskilling everyday still no job in hand. I feel like a shame to even face my parents. Neither I enjoyed my college life as I was super busy upskilling myself, nor I have a job. I don't know where to go.

What is your techstack? Practice DSA.Make sure you focus on keywords on your resume. Shamelessly ask for referrals on LinkedIn.Make sure your Linkindin and GitHub profile is good. Use naukri app as well.Make sure you update your profile on it every day (by just adding or removing a word).

It is normal. You are not alone. Start working out, reading books and up skill yourself to gain some experience. It will take time but everything will align.

Hmm, I can empathize with you. But trust me, skipping a year or 2 is just running away from these things, when you end up skipping, you'd realise you are in a much terrible place than you were before.

Unless you start owning these things and think to do something about it, things may not change for the better. Take it from someone who has been there, done that. All that whining I did, it only pushed the existing people I had in my life.

What's the solution you ask? Nothing immediate or enjoyable. You'd have to work on yourself, if feeling home sickness, go visit home for a week and get back.
We don't make friends in a day, it takes time and consistently showing up. Things will improve when you put efforts into it. Most relatives don't give a damn, but if you see, even you don't give a damn about them. When was the last time you reached out to them?

Lastly, you cannot expect life to provide you with positives. It's difficult to take in bad news, but stop thinking like it's end of the world, you are in so much better position where you have the power to change things in your life
