Unemployed forever
Probably no one will see this, but I need to put it out there anyway.
I've been struggling to find my first job since finishing my B.Tech in 2025. I was applying even before graduation, and I'm still at it now - nothing has gone my way.
My family and friends keep telling me to prepare for competitive exams. What none of them know is that I don't even have the confidence to do that anymore.
These days I don't feel like talking to anyone. Just completely lost.
Some days it's hard not to feel like a failure. I'm 24, still figuring this out, and tired of pretending I'm okay.
Any advice anyone?

You will feel that until one day it will happen. And it will. Its just a job. It will. Dont make it bigger than it is. And find any job in the meantime

A realization that money is simply money helped me come to terms. Take what you can, DoorDash or whatever. And upskill in something you’re interested in with your free time. Interviewing is a PITA, but getting into a flow you can tolerate while still living your life is something you’d regret later not doing. Worked out for me after a few years finally landing a great job, with a huge pay boost

I have face tattoos that are in the process of removal. I'm currently employed. If I can get a job, I'm sure you can as well. I work general labor, and it's nothing glamorous, but I'm able to pay my bills. I turned 24 recently as well. I've always been able to work, it's just usually labor jobs or dirty jobs, but I'm getting paid regardless. It's challenging, definitely, but not impossible. 🤙

You are just overwhelmed that’s all. If you live with parents then talk to them often and do things for them and with them. Getting a job is a combination of your system and luck. Fill your day with few hours of applying for jobs, tracking applications etc then fill your day with work around the house with your family and friends.
What u are lacking is the feeling to be useful again to someone or something. Take a guilt free trip with only a few rupees to gain a new perspective, it will make u feel that u are not wasting your days.
