hi all. it's a weekend afternoon so of course it's time to overthink my shortcomings. i'm 23F and i'm an engineering graduate.

i struggled with unemployment and finally landed a decent job (contract basis) but i absolutely despise it because i keep feeling like i'm capable of so much more. the work isn't related to my field, the pay sucks, and i'm learning NOTHING.

i'm however very grateful for it because unemployment was really bad, but i really want to upskill and get a better job and earn better and work better but i don't know how to.

anyone here who's been through this? what should i do, where should i start? please help me out🥲🙏🏻

hi all, 2025 engineering graduate here. i had a really rough year straight out of college, as my internship didn't convert and the job market was HORRENDOUS.

i interned in a well known MNC, and then it took my 8 months to land a contract based job in another well known MNC.

i'm however not happy AT ALL. it's highly underpaying, and the work is nowhere related to my domain. i really want to switch, but i don't know where and how to even start.

i've always wanted to get into consulting and nothing super techie, so any advice and guidance as to how i can navigate myself from here would be appreciated. any sort of advice is welcome! thank you.

what do you read, do, study, write? what has CHANGED you & your perspective on life and made you confident

especially if you have strict parents who have no idea you're dating.

and how did it go, and how long did it take for your parents to be okay with it?

EDIT: and how did you bring up the roka/marriage topic with them?

hi everyone💗

i'm looking for joggers and track pants (very honestly, idk the difference) to wear to the gym.

i'm looking for something comfortable and loose, preferably a straight fit or a wide leg fit. i do find a lot of options online, but i'm 5'9 and finding pants that cover my ankles has been a pain.

please do drop your suggestions below, and also do let me know where i can find pretty compression tees and regular gym wear tops as well. thanks!

i don't know how to explain it. how do you handle the most hurtful words coming out of your parents mouths? aren't they supposed to be the ones protecting you from it?

i had a small, minor argument with my mother, and my father immediately jumped in with no context and started screaming about how i earn only so much and how i should just leave the house and how he's ready to give me in writing that i'll never be able to do anything on my own ever.

i won't say i'm the perfect daughter but my entire life i've done everything they wanted from me and suddenly today i have no respect and no decency to talk and i'm a failure who's struggling.

he has gotten mad at me before, but it's been the usual parental argument. i don't know why this one hurts so much. he kept attacking my salary, my work life, how i struggled with unemployment in between, all of that.

mind you, during the entirety of this, i was the one consoling him and reassuring him every day that i'm fine i'll be fine i'll find a job. and now this. my mother also kept quiet the entire time and not once did she defend me. he kept going on about how i'm always in a terrible mood (i'm not, and i'm barely ever home) and how i'll just be a failure.

now they've gone out and i'm just sitting in my room and sobbing, wishing they'd at least fucking realise what kind of shit they've spewed out this morning.

is the inde wild hair oil and serum worth it? does it work? i really need hair oil or hair treatment suggestions PLEASW HELP ME

PLEASE PLEASE P L E A S E drop your "...and then EVERYTHING got better!"

moments when you thought life was over or your career was over or just anything, but you were blessed with the best right after and realised what happened happened for the best✨🌙

i'm going through a really tough period right now and i'd love to have some hope and just feel happy for a bit. it can be anything, just a small sign for me and a little ray of hope that i'll be okay either way💗

okay this might be long, but i really need advice. i'm 23 F. i'm someone who loves her peace and loves staying away from drama because throughout high school i was the drama (not really, just a bad teenage rebellion phase).

i have a small friend group, a mix from school, college and society, and a couple of people from work, and i'd like to keep it that way. i do talk to everyone, but i have no issues pulling away at the slightest disrespect or anything.

now the main part is—i have a friend from college, let's call her P. P and I were never particularly close in college, I was kinda like her "backup" friend, the one she came to when the rest of her girls were busy. and that was okay, never the problem since our conversations were limited but fun.

we work in the same office now, and I joined a year after her. We started getting close, but I almost immediately realised she's liked by NO ONE. initially i couldn't really understand why since she was being sweet, but a couple of months in and i realised.

she's NEVER happy. she has everything, i won't lie. she's gorgeous, she has many many friends, extremely supportive parents who are doing well, SHE is doing well EVERYTHING. but she's so draining to be around god save me. every single day she has new things to whine about.

the worst of all. every day she needs to bitch about our team mates, our lead and our manager. to be very honest, the team is extremely nice and extremely supportive no matter what, and i genuinely enjoy working with them. it wasn't until later that i realised she doesn't work EVER. i'm not even exaggerating, all she does is come late, chill in the cafeteria, scroll on her phone, do random shit on her laptop.

and if the lead calls her out, she's being targeted and she's a victim and she'll immediately resign and leave because "the job sucks anyway". a couple of seniors did warn me to maintain my distance as well, since people tend to group you together and assume you're the same if you're around her. she's also been warned multiple times for her language and almost everyone knows she has no respect and boundaries when it comes to talking about fellow team members.

the point is, no matter how much you try to shut her down, she doesn't take it. a couple of other people from college are here as well and over time everyone has distanced themselves from her because of her constant whining and complaining and unnecessary bitching.

i'm no one to judge her work, but when your manager is calling you out every week for not making progress in any way, there has to be an issue right? when you're sneaking off to sleep during the day, or fighting for random things? and i genuinely just want peace in my life, i'm not interested in knowing why you're a victim because you got scolded for not working.

i get appreciated for my work🧿 and i like it. i work for it. you can't pull me down randomly and in front of others because you refuse to work.

now i've started staying away. i take breaks alone at different times and give her excuses, and i eat lunch late and alone or with someone else because i genuinely cannot deal anymore. i know she's sensing it, and i've also heard now she's trash talking me to others in the team. is it really that bad that i'm exhausted from being sad and not wanting to handle more whining and for wanting to protect my job and my reputation?😭

hi girls! i'm 23, and i've recently joined a company where i have to work from office 5 days a week. which is ok. but repeating outfits for me is absolutely not.

i really love wearing kurtas and kurta sets, and i've been stealing those from my mom so far but i'd love to buy my own.

i've been hunting through various sites like evara and such, but i'm skeptical about the quality and the fit, but i absolutely LOVEEEEE the designs and the colours like i'm absolutely sold.
