Confused and lonley with career change

So, I'm 25, been trying for UPSC since 2021, and haven't made it yet. I just got into a psych master's program at IGNOU for 2025. My friends doing their own startups and getting promoted didn't bother me before when I was hopeful and far away. Now, I'm switching to an MBA for my Plan B, which it always was. Other government exams just aren't for me; they seem too boring and focused on one thing. I'm more of a free spirit with lots of hobbies and an adventurous side.

I really want an exciting life with plenty of time for myself. People used to be jealous, and they still are, but lately, my friends think I over-explain and sound too smart even about little things, and they can't quite handle it. It's just different with my UPSC friends versus my software friends.

I'm having a hard time adjusting and feel pretty lonely and lost right now. I'm studying for CAT, and some days it's just draining.

Lately, I've been feeling so frustrated and agitated, easily annoyed. My empathy and patience, once my strongest traits, are now weakening. It feels like nobody understands me and everyone around me is judging me. I don't have many friends to talk to.

making me fear towards LIFE

suggest some practice mental approach towards my life,would be much appreciated:)

Annoying family members • what should I do?

I have family members who are constantly asking me for very petty things — foot rubs, looking stuff up for them, things normal people should be doing themselves. But for some reason, our dynamic is such that they grown accustomed to asking me to do things for them. And if not, they throw a tantrum, give the silent treatment, basically completely overreact for something people usually don’t ask other people to do. It’s every time I pass my parents/ older siblings or if they even just see me.

I personally feel like straight up telling them “I’m not your butler/attendant. Didn’t you learn to do things yourself in kindergarten? Do it yourself!” But I don’t feel like this is what a right conscience would do.

Anyone experience this?

What would Jesus do?
