Hello. 19 M (Turning 20 this week) here. My life is... a mess. So much, that i might say, that for the past month or so, i have had 6-7 phone calls, and 5-6 face to face conversations with anyone(and all of them are with my roommates). So, right now, I have nearly forgotten how to communicate, and my voice.. is just nonexistent.

I just tried singing a song yesterday, where i was alone in my room, and my voice was just airy. i tried speaking, but no. It was just absent. Then I realized, this week, i spoke just once to my roommate, and that too was no more than 10 words, maybe asking for a favor. I have 2 roommates, their friends come regularly(daily for hours), but I am always just in that corner of my room, on my bed. By now, even they have stopped trying to communicate with me. I am in a very prestigious college of my country, but I have not been going classes, nearly skipped all of the classes and exams of this semester. It has been a mess for 8 months or so, it got a bit better about in January, and from feb, it has been worsening again, and now, this month is the worst ever.

I just have stopped caring, that people come to my room, and they see, a hopeless person, lying on his bed, on his laptop, what my grades are, what i am doing, I think of improving, but just feel like, I'm way past it all. I have probably forgotten how to communicate.

I think I am a good person, overall, like.. I'm civil, i guess kind(?), and understand what should(I don't know. I'm looking somewhat narcissist here, saying I'm a 'good' person, but I'm trying to be genuine), but I do have flaws too... like I sometimes hole myself in, block everyone off, and my communication/interpersonal skills are...

I’m from India and can comfortably talk in English/Hindi, but I’m open to people from anywhere.
I am looking for similar aged(probably around 19-24) friends... long term, genuine friends. Who are wise, not for show who help me, and I help whom. Maybe frequent talks, chats. I have zero friends.. so.. yeah.

I would appreciate some people like me, or maybe the complete opposites, who would come and have dm chats with me regularly, so we can help each other, know each other, guide each other.. etc. Please.

PS: I am not feeling su!cidal or self harm or anything..
So, don’t worry — I’m not in danger or anything. I’m not looking for an emotional caretaker or a venting outlet. I’m just very isolated lately and trying to reconnect with people normally again.
PS: I’m also naturally cautious online, so I probably won’t share too much personal information early on. Hope that’s understandable.

How does the strength of our currency affect or show our nation's financial strength, progress etc. And how is it calculated, like... who tells us that 1 INR is this much in USD, and how.
And also the popular myth where some people quote south korea's large conversion factor to say it is not representative of development. Why is this way to think false/true.
Also, how does purchasing power factor in, in all of this

When we look at sectors like banking, railways, technology, agriculture, medicine, education, manufacturing, media, corporate work, logistics, or even matrimony and social behavior, it is easy to notice how much they have changed in the last 30–40 years.

Their systems, methods, efficiency, scale, technology, work culture, and public expectations have evolved significantly with time. The way people think and operate in these sectors today is very different from how things worked in the 1980s or 1990s.

But politics often feels comparatively unchanged.

The style of campaigning, public speeches, rhetoric, vote-bank approaches, defections, personality-based politics, caste/religion-focused mobilization, internal party functioning, and even the general political culture often feel structurally similar to decades ago, despite the country itself changing rapidly.

Yes, technology has entered politics through social media, data analysis, digital campaigning, etc., but I am talking more about the deeper political culture and functioning itself.

Why does politics seem to evolve much slower than other professions and institutions in India?

Is it because political systems naturally resist change?
Or because voters themselves still reward older styles of politics?
Or is this perception itself incorrect, and politics has actually evolved more than it appears?

Is it just for easing down the collection for the player, or it would be used in the future lore... like for accessing the past for khanreiah, some mechanic needs one oculus of each element or something..

Chromium is the reason of existence of many competitors of chrome, even though they are small. Brave, Opera, Edge, etc all these never would have been competitions. Why did they make the market they had monopoly over, easier to access for competitors?

I can think of

Using live gps tracking of all EVM's

Using some sort of sensors on every voting button to prevent cases like today's accusations of taping or inking.

And I guess more people can think of more like these simple ideas.

What more practical ideas could help according to you?

Also

Why are these ideas which seem relatively simple not widely implemented yet, especially when we have people whose jobs should include thinking of such safeguards?

And if our ideas are not technically good enough right now, we can have specialists who can improve and refine these ideas.

And I am only thinking of genuine safeguard methods and reasons. Please try not to turn it into party politics here.

It is the worst it has ever been. I don't even get why categories exist in cruncyroll.
