Hi,

It seems that you are going through a rough patch in life and I can understand your distress. You seem to be preoccupied with lots of stuff and that is leading to your being stressed. Stress further causes confusion and hampers our ability to think straight.

Regarding your friends, remember that fights among friends do happen. You have to patch up. If you friends are not talking to you, you should go ahead and clear things up. Friendship is precious and you just need to put some effort and it will be back on track.

Regarding your masters, i feel you should think about what you really like and pursue it. You can also discuss with your parents regarding the options. Parents are always helpful and give us advice with our best possible interests in mind.

Being attracted to someone at this age is usual. You should be happy about it and go ahead and talk to the guy and see if it works out. Holding yourself back will only cause you more distress.

You must also start exercising daily as that will help you relax and reduce you anxiety and stress.

I do hope that you found the answer helpful. Best wishes for a great life ahead.
