Couldn't Make It Into My Dream Institute. But I Walked Away With This...

I had my interview at NIMHANS—my dream institute.

A dream institute for me, and for many...

After the wait, names were being announced, and my ears were eagerly waiting…
maybe mine comes now… maybe next... the last one is mine…

But it wasn’t!

Those whose names weren’t called were asked to leave. The selected ones were to stay.

As people began walking toward the lift, I stayed seated—my heart still aching to fully accept it.

I walked to the coordinator and quietly asked in hope,
“Please tell me if Anmol is on the list?”

She checked and simply gestured.

That was my cue to walk out.

I returned to my seat—felt like all my energy was sucked out of me—picked up my bag and belongings, face down, trying to hold myself together.

I didn’t take the lift. I just… walked.
Four floors down, one heavy step at a time.
Could’ve counted the stairs, but my mind was busy with uneasy emotions.

I reached the ground floor and saw the guard sitting there with the registers.
I was supposed to sign the exit time, but the confidence I had while signing the entry time felt like a different version of me.

I couldn’t even bring myself to look for my name again.

Because I had written “interview” under the “purpose” section, with anticipation and excitement.

But I didn’t get it!

There was a written test before it, and it didn’t go in my favor. So no interview for me.

I walked out of the building. The sunlight was strong. My eyes needed time to adjust.

So I took a moment.

Just stood there, trying to sync with what I was feeling. A couple of deep breaths.
Still uneasy—but at least, in sync with my body.

I wasn’t okay, even after sharing with my close people.
All the voice messages, text messages, and calls I received...
They reminded me: this is a part of life. And I can do better next time.

Slowly, I braced myself.
Took it up.
Decided I’d work on things.
And to get there, it took me some time.

But then yesterday—

Someone asked me, “How was your interview?”

And I said:

“I wish it were a success. Though it became a lesson. So I am finding wisdom in that.” -Ambidextrous Anmol

When You Feel Unappreciated, Read This (Insights from a Psychologist)

Let me start with this—I have felt worse than being unappreciated by others. The worst was when I failed to appreciate myself.

I believe that’s the hardest battle: you against you. And winning yourself to your own side is the only way forward.

To answer your question, yes, there have been times in my life when I felt unappreciated by those around me. But with time, I realized that I was limiting my perspective, mistaking my immediate surroundings for the entire world.

But can they truly define my entire world?

The world is vast. And the world is ever expanding, so why would I limit myself, my world?

If my colleagues or seniors fail to appreciate me, that does not mean my work won’t be valued elsewhere—by people far beyond my current circle, including you, reading this right now.

That being said, I acknowledge the importance of validation. As human beings, we crave recognition, acknowledgment, and appreciation, especially from those closest to us. I truly wish everyone had that support in those initial steps of their journey.

As those are the tough ones, and only the tough continue.

Meanwhile, we must also acknowledge that people change. Their motivations shift. So?

All those who fail to appreciate you today might admire you tomorrow—when they see how far you’ve come, how much effort you’ve put in, and how you’re now thriving.

While that may seem like a dream for the future, there is something I have promised myself in this present—something I believe you can promise yourself as well. I have captured it in my poem, My Promise to My Fence Sitters, and I encourage you to read it:
https://www.ambidextrousanmol.com/2025/02/my-promise-to-my-fence-sitters.html

Because you deserve to feel valued and appreciated. And sometimes, that journey begins with appreciating yourself.

That’s why the promise 🤗

Happy reading 😊

Your Psychologist,
Ambidextrous Anmol

Therapeutic Testimonials

These are precious gifts from my clients, each one a testament to the trust and connection we have built together 🤝

I've struggled with depression, anxiety, and self-confidence issues for a long time and never really had the courage to seek help. But when I finally decided to reach out, I came across Anmol, and I'm so glad I did. He's been an absolute angel in my life. It's a tough task to find a good therapist, much less a therapist that actually helps you open up. Anmol was always welcoming and provided a safe and comforting environment, which allowed me to open up and confront many of my unresolved issues. He made me feel heard and validated my emotions while ensuring that I was walking down the right path when dealing with my emotions. I'm happy to say that I have improved a lot and will continue to do so in the future, and it's all thanks to him. He's an amazing therapist, and I'm so lucky to have found him when I needed it the most. -ST, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Therapeutic TestiTestimonial at www.AmbidextrousAnmol.com

In simple words, I’ve never felt so content and happy. Yes, there were times when I felt lost and sometimes even scared, wondering what I would do next. But I’ve learned a few valuable things during our therapeutic journey together. I realized I was neglecting my emotions by not actually feeling them. I’ve learned to sit with my emotions, acknowledge that they exist, and understand myself better. Surprisingly, this has also helped me empathize with myself. It feels amazing to be there for myself, validate my own feelings, and make choices without seeking others’ approval. This newfound self-awareness has also helped me be more present. I’ve been doing things I never thought I had the confidence to do, like singing on stage in front of an audience & dancing solo with full confidence. I no longer compare myself to others with the same intensity. I made mistakes, but this time, I didn’t beat myself up over them. I can now empathize with others better and express myself when needed. I didn’t realize that making a few changes could have such a profound impact. Yes, there are still emotions I struggle to process and cope with, & areas I need to work on. But now I’m better equipped to navigate those challenging times. I’m happy with my progress so far. I’ve come to realize how much power we hold in influencing our lives when we allow ourselves to freely feel every emotion, whether positive or negative. I remember being uncertain about counseling sessions initially, however, now I’m grateful for taking them with Anmol. He has a gift for making people feel comfortable being themselves around him. I’m genuinely grateful for our sessions together. Thank you for helping me understand my emotions better. You're very patient and kind, and I really appreciate how approachable and dedicated you are, even after our therapeutic journey has ended. - I can’t thank you enough! -UB, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

I was raised in a strict household, and as a shy, introverted girl, it was difficult for me to share my problems with anyone, especially within my family. However, when I was going through a tough time that was affecting my mental health and my studies, I came across Mr. Anmol. I’m so glad I did. Tbh, I never thought I would ever be able to share all my personal problems with somebody like I did. He has always been so friendly that I just opened up to share my personal struggles with him. Thanks to him, I was able to overcome everything. He helped me forgive myself for mistakes I never made and love myself again. I honestly needed to be heard at that time, and he came into my life like an angel and everything just got right!! I used to have anxiety attacks, which are now gone. My relationship with my family has improved significantly, and my academic life has gotten back on track. It feels like I have got a new life. All thanks to the friendly therapist, Mr. Ambidextrous Anmol!! - IS, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Therapeutic Testimonial at www.ambidextrousanmol.com

When I approached Anmol in hope that he will help me handle my emotions; I didn’t expect it would turn me into a complete different version. Be it the way I perceive myself, the people and situations around me or the way I respond to human behavior patterns. I found myself rewiring and changing my ground values. Started being more gentle with myself. Anmol always finds the right clue to reveal the actual root of issue. It is really helpful trait especially for a Psychologist. Documenting how one feel and finding that whatever you feel isn’t so abnormal most of the times feels like a real bliss. Anmol is so good at that; always saying ‘sensible’ ,‘ understandable’. Asking how a session made one feel and introspecting on that helps an individual to actually learn something actively. All these aided me in my journey. Keep spreading your magic Anmol and never lose the spark you have; the most underrated trait one would have is the beaming smile. I wish you all the best for your future endeavors.

When I first approached Anmol, my life felt completely overwhelming. It seemed like everything that could go wrong had gone wrong, and I was left feeling hopeless, consumed by extremely negative emotions. For the first time in my life, these emotions began to take a toll on my physical health—I lost weight, my eating habits changed, I was moving towards being anti-social, and my sleep was deeply affected. From the very beginning, Anmol was incredibly supportive. He helped me uncover aspects of myself that I had been unaware of, and he made me realize that I had been underestimating my own strength. After each session, I could feel a sense of positivity growing within me. He introduced me to several effective techniques, among which I was hesitant about self-catharsis, but he gave me the confidence to embrace it. Though challenging at first, this practice helped me bring closure to the events that were fueling my spiral of negative thoughts. When I began therapy, I was hopeless and socially isolated from my friends and family. However, as I approached the end of our sessions, I noticed a significant shift in my mindset. My thoughts had become more positive, I started to cheer myself up, and I became my own supporter—something that felt impossible before. By the end of therapy, I felt more confident and in control. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anmol to others. He handled my emotions and fears with such gentleness, and never once did I feel uncomfortable during our sessions. His approach was professional, yet deeply humane—almost as if I was confiding in a close friend who genuinely wanted to help. Each session ended on a positive note, and he patiently addressed all my doubts and queries, never rushing through the process. Anmol’s support and guidance have been invaluable to me, and I’m deeply grateful for the progress I’ve made under his care. By - SS, from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.
