Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing B.Tech in CSE from a tier 3 college, but over time I’ve become really interested in aerospace and space science as a career path. My long-term goal is to work in areas related to spacecraft systems, simulations, robotics/autonomy, flight software, maybe even computational physics stuff.

Lately I’ve been thinking about trying for M.Tech in Aerospace at Indian Institute of Science through GATE, but I’m confused about how realistic this path actually is for someone from a CSE background.

I’m fully ready to put in the work if the path is realistically possible. I’d genuinely appreciate advice from anyone studying or working in aerospace-related fields.

Thanks!

Hello, I’ve been feeling really down and exhausted lately because I’ve noticed a painful pattern in my social life. It feels like nobody actually considers me a real friend or a potential partner, instead, I’m just the person they contact whenever they get lonely or have nothing better to do. I'm still in contact with my highschool frnds. Whenever I post smthg, I rarely get likes from them idk why they just post with other ppl, hangout with their "best frnds" but never me. I quit reaching out first. I still regret, nobody considers me as their bestfrnds even tho I'm always there for them.

​Once their boredom passes or they find something better to do, they disappear. It makes me feel like I’m just being used for entertainment or emotional validation, it’s starting to make me feel like they think I'm stupid or that I won't notice. Also I'm socially awkward & very introverted person, I really want to improve on my communication skills.

​I know I've depth, but being treated like a disposable option is really affecting my self-esteem & making me feel stuck in this lonely cycle, all toxic relationships mostly in shallow connections I made in my school & locality.

​

​Would love to hear any advice, mindsets, or personal experiences from anyone who has broken out of this cycle. Thanks!
