I scored more marks without studying, in my 2nd semester. June 2026 psychology paper was a joke. I wonder if they should have announced re-net for us too, but with just 20 days in hand.. it would have been too stressful & unfair. If they wanted to conduct the exam again, should have given atleast 2 months, feeling bad for those students.

Congratulations to everyone who scored well.

Hi everyone! I'm an early-career counselling psychologist looking for a good clinical supervisor to strengthen my therapeutic skills. Supervisors charging around 1k are preferable. Also, feel free to share how your experience was with them.

Its been one month since the exam, they haven’t released answer key. They haven’t said anything yet. No response or accountability of any kind. This year’s Psychology paper was already very absurd. Almost all of us were disturbed because of that & now this. Everyday, I see job postings for assistant professor but can’t apply because they can’t manage to conduct exams fairly & on time. Unfortunately, I don’t see enough people talking about this. As if everybody has just accepted this is how it is. MH SET paper was supposed to be conducted in july. But they postponed it twice & now its in last week of September. All they do is just waste our time. Is this the cost of studying in India?

I have been applying to jobs since over a month now & anywhere I apply they only want candidates who have done M.phil & someone who has 2-5 years of relevant experience. Where do people go who have only done their masters? Where will the freshers go? Atleast give us a chance to earn some experience?

Plus, a lot of organisations wants to hire psychologists to do the work of receptionist in their office. Why would a psychologist who has studied theories, human behavior, done internships in hospitals do the job of a receptionist (scheduling sessions, keep a track of payments- these were literally the responsibilities given in various job descriptions I saw) & no, giving it a label of a counselor/wellness counsellor doesn’t change the fact that they want a receptionist. I am feeling very frustrated & hopeless.

I mean sure one can have their own political beliefs & opinions but what if you notice how certain people in your social circle lacks basic morals & are always supporting something wrong. This new trend of reservation hatao movement is triggering me a lot, privileged people who do not know history & don’t have basic empathy are supporting such things. I have been a victim of casteism a lot of times in my life & it is deeply upsetting how some of the people on my socials are supporting this. Its not that they are close to me or will be ever helpful in my life, should I just unfollow them or am I reacting too much?

Their video talking about the proposal was enough to know akhil was a big red flag & he was not really into her. They both admitted he wouldn’t commit to her, didn’t even call her his gf till many years of them dating, she was the one pushing him & nudging him to propose to her in every step. & it seemed like he just did it because he was pressured. Even their body language was poles apart. She was so giddy, blushing, being physically affectionate to him & he was barely reciprocating. Another video in which she said she was in love with him since forever & when she asked him “when was the moment he felt he loved her?” he didn’t have an answer. When she announced her pregnancy, there was no reaction video of Akhil. In her first trimester video, she said just for today she is taking Akhil with her for doctor’s appointment & after this she will take her mom & Veronica because “boys don’t understand any of this”. I mean, he is literally your husband !! She kept saying she feels lonely & was relieved when she told veronica that she finally has someone to talk to. It was clear he didn’t want to have a baby & left her in the middle of it. Malz herself is an obnoxious person & I don’t like her but I am afraid her desperation to find a man might end her up in the same cycle.

I 25f think I am going through this phase where I am getting the impulses to engage in casual hookups, but not with any random stranger. I used to regularly makeout with my ex even after our breakup whenever I felt like it.. it was fun for the most part but after working on myself in therapy I decided its something I don’t want to continue. Recently I am getting the urges of starting that again but its not just about pleasure, its deeper. Its the feeling of just being held with affection & getting cuddles… hence I realised its touch starvation. I was also getting the impulse of asking the same thing to this guy I was seeing but he decided to call it off, nothing really major happened between us & it was just cute things like holding hands, hugging & cheek kisses with him. We are still friends & I was very close to asking him this today, but I knew it would be very embarrassing. How do single ladies deal with touch starvation?

I keep hearing this all over social media “if he wanted to, he would” & if he doesn’t, he’s just not that into you. I have been going through something similar where my talking stage who I thought really liked me gave me “its not you, its me” reason & broke off with me.. even though he said he still wants to keep me as a friend. Upon telling my girlfriends even they used the same “if he wanted to, he would” arguement with me. But I read an article on substack where they discussed how humans are complex beings & nobody is perfect, every human has 100 different things going on so the “if he wanted to, he would” arguement is unfair. Just want to know everybody’s opinion on this..

So I (25F) was seeing this guy (23) for around 2 weeks. We were classmates before & at first he told me he really liked me. He was really caring & loving, I have no doubts that he didn’t like me, he would really make efforts for me & would chase me if I ever pushed him away. Everything was going really well until few days back when he told me he is panicking a lot thinking about everything, which included dating me, his career, his family issues, his own mental health etc. he told me he won’t be able to take this further but would like to be friends. I knew he had anxiety issues but I didn’t expect him to leave me because of it. After him apologising & crying a lot, I agreed to stay friends & started helping him to get started with therapy etc. He was again feeling anxious today & asked to meet & so I did.. but he didn’t talk about us, didn’t ask me if I was okay.. I went to support him as a friend but still this part hurt me. At one point he got teary eyed & I held his hand to console him but he respectfully let my hand go saying he doesn’t want to give me hopes, which again hurt me. Atlast he thanked me for being there, I don’t know if I am being stupid in supporting him because him leaving me was hurtful too & everyone goes through anxiety & low phases does not mean the first thing you do is drop your partner. What do I do?

I 25f was in talking stage with this guy 23, things were going well except for certain parts where I felt he is not putting much efforts & he would also say that he has a lot of fear & anxiety regarding what happened to him with his ex. He wouldn’t open up to me much which bothered me too. I asked him to step up a few times which he agreed to, he would chase me if I pulled away & tell me how he really likes me. There were a few differences between us like him not being financially that great which I was okay with since I thought it would be alright if he gets a job. Things were going amazing, we were meeting regularly, he was being very affectionate & giving me cheek kisses etc. & tonight he suddenly tells me he can’t do this anymore. I was shocked because even today things were going great, upon asking why, he said that we have differences like financially, he thinks things are going too fast & we might also face long distance in future. I am just completely shocked because I did not see this coming at all. I thought he really liked me. He offered to be friends first & take it slowly or be casual friends atleast if I decide to end this. I am just completely shattered because I thought we were building something meaningful. Did I just got played? What do I do coz I really liked him.

So there’s a guy in my class, 2 years younger than me. I am 25 (f). We would talk normally initially but after an event in our college, we both felt a spark between us. Slowly, we started talking more & I noticed he was flirting with me, even though he isn’t my type, but I think he is cute, kind & sweet & I don’t mind exploring more. He says, he only ever had 1 serious relationship & he doesn’t really know how to do this whole asking out & dating thing, after giving him a lot of hints & nudging..he understood I was interested. But he said he wants to take it slow, which I don’t mind. But the thing is, he doesn’t open up at all. Even if I try to open up, flirt a little more & try talking about serious things, he still stays very reserved. I also understood, he has low self esteem & needs a lot of validation. All this is actually bothering me a lot, but I keep thinking maybe if I open up, he will too.. but at last I end up feeling like I am the man in this relationship chasing him. He keeps asking me to text him first & stuff, which makes me feel like he is the princess which seriously gives me the ick. I like men & have dated men who are straightforward, expressive& would lead the relationship. Should I walk away? or wait it out because I really thought he & we had potential. Does he even like me?
