Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking for a job in **Kochi, Kerala**, and I would really appreciate any leads, referrals, or advice.
I have completed my **MSc in Environmental Science** and I’m looking for opportunities in areas such as **environmental science, sustainability, EHS, environmental consulting, research, laboratory work, or related roles**. I’m open to entry-level positions and willing to learn.
I’ve been trying to find a job and it’s honestly been really difficult. If anyone knows of a company that is hiring, has a referral, or can connect me with someone, I would be extremely grateful.
**And yes, I’m serious about this:** if someone genuinely helps me get a job, I’m willing to give them my **first two months’ salary** as a thank-you for helping me get the opportunity. I’m not asking anyone to guarantee me a job — just hoping someone can point me in the right direction or give me a genuine referral.
I’m particularly interested in companies in **Kochi**, but I’m also open to opportunities elsewhere in Kerala or remote positions.
Please DM me if you know of anything. Even sharing this post would mean a lot.
Thank you ❤️

I’m 24 years old and recently completed my Master’s in Environmental Science, but I feel like I’ve never actually lived.
My parents are extremely strict. I’ve never been allowed to go anywhere alone. I wasn’t allowed to study outside my city, even for college. I was never allowed to stay out after classes or hang out with classmates. It was always college and straight back home. Even now, if I go out, it’s usually only with my parents.
Because of that, I don’t really have close friendships. I grew up being the odd, poor kid in class, and I always felt like I didn’t fit in. Sometimes it feels like no one really understands me. I went to an all-girls college, so I never really got the chance to meet people outside that environment either.
There are so many things I’ve never experienced. I’ve never been to a concert. I’ve never traveled on my own. I’ve never had a boyfriend or experienced a normal young adult life. I wanted to go to my dream school, but I wasn’t allowed. Now my parents want me to get married and settle down, but all I can think is that I haven’t even had a chance to discover who I am.
They say they’re doing all of this because they love me, and I know they probably believe that. But I feel suffocated. I don’t hate them—I just hate feeling like I have no control over my own life.
I also don’t have a job yet, so I feel financially trapped, which makes everything even harder.
I keep looking at people my age who have traveled, made friends, dated, gone to concerts, lived away from home, and figured out who they are. Meanwhile, I feel like my life hasn’t even started.
I know comparing myself to others isn’t healthy, but it’s hard not to feel like I’ve missed out on my entire youth.
Has anyone else escaped a very restrictive family in their mid-20s? Is it actually possible to build a life from scratch at 24? I could really use some advice or even just to know I’m not alone.

My ex and I broke up a year ago and I’ve been trying to move on and haven’t contacted him in months .The weird thing is that he keeps reaching out to me just to tell me to block him because he has a new girlfriend.

At first I thought he was trying to set boundaries, but if that was the case, why keep texting me? If he really wanted no contact, couldn’t he just block me himself

He keeps reminding me that he has a new girl .Part of me wonders if he’s trying to get a reaction, make me jealous, ease his guilt, or convince himself that he’s moved on.

I’m trying to understand the logic here because it doesn’t make much sense to me. If you’re happy in a new relationship, why keep contacting your ex about it?

I (24F)met my boyfriend (19M) at a party a while ago, and we hit it off immediately. We've been dating ever since, and honestly, he's been great. He's kind, mature forget his age(yeah ik what it sounds like), and we get along really well.
The thing is, I'm starting to have doubts about our future together. Not because of anything he's done wrong, but because of where we both are in life. I still live with my parents and don't currently have a job. I also don't have much dating experience, so it's hard for me to know what's normal and what isn't.
He's still in college and has his whole future ahead of him. I'm really emotionally invested in this relationship and care about him a lot, but when I think long term, I struggle to picture where this is going. Sometimes I wonder if we're just in very different stages of life.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Am I overthinking things, or is this something I should take seriously before getting even more attached?

I hate when people say this to me it feels like im easy target for narcissists idk how to change ts
