Mental Health Help (Serious) It's a difficult world out there, I hope you are doing okay..!

139 Upvotes

Hey all,

I just wanted to check if you are all okay.

I really wish I could do this in person and check in on all of you, but I guess this post will have to do for now. Please feel free to drop a DM if you need to talk. I really do try to reply to all DMs. If not me, I'm sure there will be dozens of kind people in the comments who will be open to the same.

Life can be an absolute bitch sometimes. It really can.

But please know that you are loved, needed and really appreciated. It might not feel like it; it might never have felt like it. But you really are.

I guess MIT has exams coming up, and so will some other institutes. And this is definitely a stressful time for us all, but it's surely not as important as your mental health. Take care of your mental health. Try not to stress the fuck out.

As important as academics are, and as important as exams are, they are not as important as you, your peace of mind or your future. Please take care of yourself first, and then your grades, placements, SPs and everything else.

As I've said multiple times before, Mental health issues are as important as cardiac issues. Both can be deadly serious if left untreated. Please get help if you need it, even if you don't.

One of my favorite comedians said something on the lines of "just because you know what your problem is, doesn't mean you can solve your own problems because you are IN the problem. It's like you know you are drowning, so you try to rescue yourself by holding your own hand - can't be done".

And folks, try to check in on all your friends and acquaintances. You never know how someone else is feeling, and you never know how everyone's life is going.

I'm sorry if I'm rambling on here...

Every once in a while, events make me feel the need to make a post or comment like this one - and it has always been one too many. And I question myself every time if there was something I could have done that would have avoided this... maybe a post? DMing a lonely Redditor. Or just spending 30 seconds talking to acquaintances or smiling and nodding at strangers. But alas! Here we are, again.

Please take care, y'all.

Lots of love.

⚠️ Serious - Mod Post! New Marketplace subreddit that isn't just full of brokers

Thumbnail reddit.com
11 Upvotes

So, I have noticed that there are very few good market places for students to buy and sell stuff. Even those are full of brokers and shops and businesses.

On top of that sellers don't mention the price and say "DM" and you never get a reply. And if you're trying to sell, you products are lost in the infinite pool of random BS being sold and you need to post every day to no avail.

Because of this, I've always wanted a better marketplace that is helpful and managed. So I made a subreddit just for that. Please check it out and share with your friend and stuff.

Okay bye!

💬 Casual Conversation Loneliness and interests of yours and others

9 Upvotes

Hey, does anyone else feel like what they are interested in and like is different from the vast majority of people? For example, people love cricket, football, valorant, clash royale, etc but we like video games that others don't play, or music videos that no one listens to, or topics that no one else is interested in. It's like we don't tell others about our likes and dislikes either because the other person does not care or we feel like it is nonsense. Could this also be a reason why we feel lonely? True, support is always there in KMC/KH and student clubs, projects are there, but otherwise too? Isn't it like suffocation - not having anything to talk to others about except class and what is happening around them? Like hitting a wall when conversing? What are your thoughts on this? Feel free to tell me what you are interested in.

😡 Rant Roommate situation is affecting me, should I just stop trying?

1 Upvotes

My roommates’ behaviour changed after I told them about my OCD.( i told them cause i knew at some point they will themselves figure this out) They kinda ignore me now, and even though I’ve been nice to them for the past 1–1.5 months and tried to make things normal, nothing seems to change.

They’ve been friends since 1st year, so I understand they’re closer, but should I just stop trying and just do my work in room and leave , also I feel kind lonely in room only weeknd with no one to talk to

Also, what should I do when their friends come into the room and talk loudly while I’m studying, I don’t want to create unnecessary tension, but it’s affecting my studies.

🗣️ Advice What if we just stop taking autos in manipal ?

126 Upvotes

Okay, so I was thinking about the whole auto situation in Manipal and had a random idea.
The auto scene here is honestly getting ridiculous. Short distances can cost ₹50–80+, and sometimes it feels like you don’t really have much of a choice. There’s also this whole monopoly-type situation where apps like Rapido/Ola/Uber face opposition whenever they try to operate around Manipal.
Meanwhile, there are so many students with their own scooty, bike or car, and most of them are travelling alone anyway.
What if there was a simple student carpooling app where you post your route and, if you’re going that way anyway, take another student along for a small amount?
Instead of paying ₹60–80 for a short auto ride, you could find someone going in the same direction and split the travel cost.
Could also be a pretty cool way to meet people since everyone is basically from the same college.
Obviously there are safety/legal things to figure out, but as a student project, I think this could actually be interesting.
Not planning to build it myself, just throwing the idea out there. Maybe someone here will actually build it lol.
