I am currently engaged in quiet study.
From your description, it is evident that you have experienced significant challenges in various aspects of your life, including work, personal circumstances, academic pursuits, and romantic relationships. You have demonstrated resilience and determination in seeking ways to enhance your circumstances. When you discussed your situation, you had already initiated positive changes. I hope my response can provide further guidance.
1. We accept our past.
We all want a beautiful future, and the first thing we need to do is accept the past self. Despite encountering difficulties, it seems that nothing is going well, and we are disheartened. However, we have not done nothing, and we have not gained nothing. We have also been working hard in the past and have gained something. We are now improving on the basis of yesterday, so thank the past self for always trying hard, even if it is difficult. We are running as hard as we can. Imagine the past self during difficult times, give yourself a little comfort, and take pride in your resilience.
Secondly, it is possible to alter one's circumstances by making changes to oneself.
It is important to understand that if our mindset shifts, we can achieve positive outcomes. What constitutes a positive mindset? I will outline a few beneficial emotions, which you can gradually adopt. Over time, your daily experiences will evoke positive emotions: 1. I feel loved. I am aware that someone is willing to approach me, that someone has positive feelings towards me, and that someone is willing to assist me. 2. I know that when I am in trouble, I can request help from anyone, and that they will even help me on their own initiative. I am not alone. When I need help, someone will appear. 3. I am calm. Every day, I study, work, and live in a quiet and peaceful state of mind. I feel that I am constantly improving, and I know that I am growing all the time. 4. I feel that my future will be very good. Through my hard work, I can obtain the things I want. 5. I know what I want, and I am taking action to get it. 6. I will meet someone who is really right for me. I am lovable, and I am waiting for my destiny to come.
1. Failure to address challenges
(At that time, I was unsuccessful in my attempts to gain admission to postgraduate studies on two occasions, and experienced considerable distress as a result. Over time, however, I was able to adjust to my current circumstances.)
2. Engaging in romantic relationships is an unproductive use of time.
I felt that the other party was ungrateful.
3. A lack of emotional stability can be attributed to an excess of free time.
(The other party has consistently demonstrated a tendency to disengage when I attempt to establish proximity, such as when I visit their city, etc. As a result, I am compelled to make independent decisions.)
4. One year has elapsed, and there has been no change in the status quo.
I have attempted to identify a solution, but: 1. The proposed direction was not endorsed by the other party, and I perceived no viable starting point. 2. My failure to secure employment and pass the postgraduate entrance exam led to an inferiority complex, creating a sense of inability to achieve. 3. I had ambitious expectations for his future and viewed many roles with disdain.
5. Do not provide him with an opportunity to take advantage of you.
The aforementioned questions are yours. Let us replace self-negation and negativity with a positive and sunny view of yourself. Over time, we will adjust ourselves to the optimal frequency.
3. Reading is an effective method for personal growth.
Reading is an excellent way to pass the time when you are alone. It will not only make you more mature, but also give you some kind of gain. Alternatively, you can buy some practical reference books to constantly improve yourself. As the saying goes, "If you haven't seen someone for three days, you'll be surprised by the changes in them." Therefore, as long as you maintain the habit of reading, you will definitely become better and better. At the same time, you will form your own values, moral values, and world outlook. Furthermore, through reading, you will meet many people who like to read, and then go the same way together. Being with good people will make things go more smoothly and you will be happier.
Good day. I am currently studying in silence and wish you well in your future endeavors. I hope you will soon return to the right track. The world and I love you.

I understand what you're saying. It sounds like during college we were a couple, but things became complicated when we spent time apart. I tended to act immaturely and relied too much on him for protection from life's pressures. I spent so much effort trying to please him and anticipate his needs that I lost a lot of valuable time. Meanwhile, he struggled between wanting to change me and encouraging me to stay true to myself. Over time, this led to an unbalanced relationship where he started looking down on me. I was facing issues like failing the postgraduate entrance exam twice and feeling stuck in my current situation. Also, I realize now that I was overly focused on romance, which might have been because I had too much free time. My emotions were unstable, possibly due to idleness, and every time I tried to get closer to him, like moving to his city, he would push me away. For the past year, my life hasn't changed much. I've tried to find solutions but none of them were ever approved by him, leading to low selfesteem from job hunting failures and exam setbacks. I also set high expectations for his future, disregarding many job opportunities. Lastly, it feels like I'm not putting in enough effort because he doesn't give me the chance.
Looking back, our relationship in college was quite challenging, especially when we weren't together. I was immature and leaned on him for protection from life's stresses, trying hard to meet his expectations instead of focusing on personal growth. He wanted to help me improve while also wanting me to remain authentic. This conflict caused imbalance, and eventually, he began to undervalue me. I faced repeated failure in exams and felt paralyzed about making important life choices. I was obsessed with romantic ideals, perhaps as a distraction from my problems. Emotionally, I was all over the place, and whenever I sought closeness, he distanced himself. The last year has been stagnant; despite my efforts to change, nothing seemed to align with his approval. My selfworth plummeted with job rejections and exam failures, and I held unrealistic standards for his career path. Ultimately, it felt like I wasn't given the opportunity to prove myself.
Reflecting on our college relationship, it seems the challenges arose when we were separated. I was immature and expected him to shield me from life's difficulties, spending much time guessing his thoughts and trying to please him. This dynamic created tension as he wanted to both reform and accept me. Our relationship grew unbalanced, and he began to see me in a less favorable light. I struggled with decisionmaking after failing exams and found myself torn between options. My focus on love and romance may have stemmed from having too much idle time. I experienced emotional instability, especially when attempts at getting closer were met with distance. Life has been static for a year, and although I've searched for ways forward, they never seemed to match his vision. Job and academic failures chipped away at my confidence, and I held lofty aspirations for his future, overlooking numerous opportunities. In the end, it felt like no matter how hard I tried, I didn't receive the support needed to move forward.
