ParticipantHey Rishabh,
You are a perfect age to completely change over. I am saying this as a compliment that you are young and you do kind of have many opportunities in the future. I always say that age is just a number and I really believe in that but I feel being young has certain privileges 🙂
That being said, you can work on yourself to become more extrovert so that you can meet new people. Meet travelers if you can, host someone or attend events in your city
Focus on your studies when you are at home this way you will be more efficient
If your friends do not call, then you can call them and ask them to meet or have a tea or a beer
When you feel lonely or depressed, ask yourself if you are really something to change that situation or just complaining about it..I know many times we do something about it and we do not get the result like we wanted. I remember you posted something about your ex gf and how you missed her
Maybe go to a gym or work out at home if you cant afford
Go for a jog
Read new books
Or watch a tv series ( it will take your mind off for sometimes but not all the time)I know how you feel, I am going through kind of same phase but please don’t lose hope and keep on trying, you never know…

ParticipantHi Rishabh,
I’m sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time. I agree, with social media, smartphones, etc..it seems we have lost “the human touch”. Making people feel even more isolated, lonely and sad. I too suffer from this. I wish Facebook, social media has never been invented. I’m probably quite a bit older than you, but I miss the 70’s and 80’s where there was actually people who would come over. We would all sit out on the back porch, singing songs, someone would play the guitar, we would have cookouts, or have smores. Then we would all go inside and play card or board games..this was several nights a week. Usually at a different persons house. No one “texted, e-mailed, or even called” back then..we would just show up at a neighbor’s house. Everything was an open invitstion. Children would play outside all day. I don’t remember hearing alot about drugs, guns, violence. Back then people left their car doors unlocked. Times were so much simpler, more communication and interaction, fun, laughter, happiness etc. Now, everything is different. It’s a different world. How I miss those decades.
I would not put too much pressure on yourself and worry about the future, because that robs you of enjoying the things of “now”. Try to enjoy the “little” things, take in a nice sunset, go for a walk, bring your mind back from negative thoughts and worry back to the present. You have no control over the future. Live your life for you, not your parents, father. You have no one to please but yourself, it’s your life, not theirs.
Are there any hobbies you enjoy? Any way you can start a small group who share the same interests and passions as you, to make new friends? Try to find some purpose in your life that will give you fulfillment. Friends and things are only temporary. They can’t make us happy. They come and go out of our lives. We have to find our inner peace and happiness. Happiness is not something we “always” have to have. We can just enjoy beauty, nature, following our passion, hobbies, what did you like doing as a child? Painting? Drawing? Playing board games? Sometimes when we get our inner child back and do things we once enjoyed doing will bring us purpose and fulfillment. Please post again with your thoughts.
