Hi My name is ritu and ive built an autoML tool. The intention of this post to let people know about my journey because im tired to express my self to chatGPT. I am women in tech, majority of women are in biology , i was about to but i took u turn and chose IT idk why i mean i had PCB in higher secondary and i decided to choose a tech degree so i can build my startup. things are bit frustrating for me because im young, inexperienced, exhausted. People now started glorifying young builders but if you are one of them you know how tense it is for your age. i stay in my room 24/7, no friends, online degree no human exposer, just me my work, study and instagram reels , btw i create content too but as u know late teens you still have those stupid acnes which makes me feel insecure and i just dont shoot my reels its been a month i guess since i last posted, i dont have anyone to talk about whats going on with me , no partner, no friend, feels like a volcano ready to explodes, one of my follower was feeling same that we are stuck, marketing product getting customers without guide isnt easy neither we can turn back and study, get a job , we are stuck in the middle dont know what to do ? i see other young founders getting funding, users , at the other side people landing jobs , internships , great scores, some are enjoying their collage life with friends. i sometimes just feel very sad about my life idk where my path will lead me

Firstly, remember that for the most part (particularly online), people only show you what makes them look happy, successful, beautiful, etc. and leave out unpleasant truths. This gives the impression that they have blessed lives, but that's very nearly never actually true. Often those people who try to give the impression it is have less of the good stuff than usual. Make no mistake, the most successful, happy, beautiful people in the world also have their dark stuff and often don't see themselves the way they want the world to see them.

Be very cautious about comparing your life with others. You don't have enough information to do that reliably.

You're very young. Nobody knows where their path will lead them, particularly at your age. That isn't something wrong, that's normal human life. Embrace the uncertainty, because that's where opportunity lives. Your best life may or may not look anything like what you think it will look like, and if you try to force your vision, you may miss it.

My suggestion to you is to set aside time every day where you leave the computer, go out into the world, and really interact with people. Regular people doing regular things. Not techie or entrepreneurial types and not with even a hint of thinking of it as "networking" or similar.

If you're the type who can't do this without structure, then join a hobby group, take classes in something non-technical, do volunteer work, etc. Anything that makes you interact and work with others, in person.
