Chronic career indecision
My mind is blocked. I wish I could live peacefuly like many people. I think i am very egoistic that I couldnt settle for any work. I feel embarassed as im unemoloyed even after getting married . Every time my mother only has forced me to find work. After thatI would attend interviews and find work after pressure increases. I dont know why i dont find work on my own without parental pressure. I have worked in few places randomly without any direction. When I was in college I wanted to quit engineering and join some other course but my parents wont let me do it. I managed to complete the course after so much conflicts with my parents. During those times i used to search for my passion and I got depressed and ended up looking for purpose of life...and started reading spiritual content like Rumi, Kabir das, Ramana Maharishi, lao tzu, eckhart tolle, bagwat gita, bit of bible etc...I got some answers but I didnt put what I read topractice completely. Now I am clueless, jobless..I need help..

Hi, it looks like you are feeling stressed about your career and what you want to do. It also looks like you are passionate about something and you want to follow your passion. You can consult a psychologist with whom you can discuss your passion and the career direction you want to take.

Dear Human, thank you for sharing your issue. We will work together and try to mitigate the concern.
I totally understand what you must be going through, it really must be tough, but itâs not permanent. The factors which can be associated with your career decision-making could be anxiety, external locus of control, poor identity formation, and low self-esteem. Being indecisive keeps you stuck in a cycle of procrastination, worry, and fear. I get it, Decisions are hard.
But, here are some tips which you can try to find your peace of mind and not get too overwhelmed and get a better mindset for your career goals:
Pay attention to your emotions
Take your time
Think strategically
Ask who are you trying to please
Banish your perfection mindset
Let go of your bad decisions
Visualize positive and possible outcomes
Do your research. Gather information to make an educated decision. What you think something might be like may not be what it's like in reality. ...
Let go of the myth of perfection. I know, I know. Easier said than done. ...
When in doubt, get quiet.
You can try these, if these tips still donât work for you, you can always get back to us and talk to you by booking an appointment and we are here to help you go through your confusion and you can talk here freely without any place for judgment in a safe place.
Take care

It seems to be a confusional state and seems like you lack motivation to look for job. Clearing course of engineering and reading philosophical stuff indicates that you have good understanding of things.Just introspect where do you wanna see yourself after 5years,set short term goals try to do something on daily basis to achieve them....you need consistency in your efforts,try to find a direction and go about it.
Next Steps
Consult a clinical psychologist for further help
