Seeing a psychologist is recommended. Ignore social taboos and I say that as a person who lived in India for 20 years. From an Indian perspective, here is some advice: 1. Talk to your family perhaps. Just talk about general stuff too: how they are doing and so on. Family includes your siblings, your cousins etc. I have wonderful sisters who make my life bright :) 2. Do you have any friends/acquaintances etc from say high school? Call them up and just ask how they are doing etc. 3. You appear to be a programmer. Go out and attend some tech talks or meetups. They are fun, you meet interesting people and they are all programmers like you so you don't feel out of place. If there are none in your city, try to move to Bangalore. 4. Take up a hobby. It will take your mind off things, will be fun and interesting and it gives you a conversation starter with non-geeks.
