Hare Krishna!
I’ve been feeling extremely detached from the world, almost like I’m living in a dream. Everything feels insignificant, and it’s hard to focus on anything, especially my studies.
I’m Dhruv Gupta, a 20-year-old from Delhi, pursuing CA. I’ve become very addicted to Instagram and YouTube, which I feel is contributing to this state. It’s like there’s a wall between me and reality, and I keep having this strange sense that one day I’ll wake up and everything will be fine, as if the “dream” will end.
Adding to this, I’ve gone through heartbreak recently, which has made these feelings even worse. I came across ISKCON and found this space, and I feel like I can share openly here because I know devotees will understand and guide me. I really need help navigating through this.

Hare Krsna Prabhu,
PAMHO.
This detachment is not because of interest in spirituality or love for Krsna. It is because of the heartbreak. To make matters worse, addiction to Insta and YouTube - deadly combination. Please do everything you can to get away from these 2 and any other social media.
You could do pranayam, join online free classes and learn to focus. This will help in every field.
Please start chanting, ideally 4 rounds of mahamantra every single day. This will also help you to focus.
Please go to the nearest local ISKCON Temple and find out about any congregational preaching happening in your area. Join that if possible.
Read Bhagavad Gita As It Is everyday.
Haribol,
Your servant,

Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. It's completely natural to feel detached and disconnected at times, especially when experiencing emotional turmoil like heartbreak Geometry Dash Lite and the overwhelming influence of social media. You're not alone in your struggles, and ISKCON's teachings and the community can offer valuable guidance during such moments.
