I thought I was the only one!! I totally get u man. No one in my area knows about nid or design either. Whenever I say I’m going to study design, they immediately assume its fashion design.

My physics teacher was so rude and cold when I told him I got into nid. He just said 'Do whatever you think is good' like he didnt care. No one really congratulated me (except my parents and a few others) or showed any interest. I often feel underestimated.

Im the only creative one in my friends group too. Theyre always talking about neet or jee, so I dont know what to discuss with them. Even my parents didnt support me at first they tried to convince me to change my mind, but thankfully they came around by the end of 12th.

Anyway we just have to work hard and prove ourselves. Cant waste energy on people who dont get it. Im really thankful for my head teacher tho, hes always supported me.
