Loneliness in College Students
With the development of urbanization and the acceleration of the pace of
life, people's exchanges tend to be superficial, which leads to alienation and dilution
of emotions among individuals. Solitude has become a common problem in modern
society. Loneliness is associated with many negative emotions. Studies show that
solitude leads to negative experiences such as depression, helplessness, depression,
irritability, inferiority, despair, and so on. Therefore, loneliness can have a great
impact on human health. According to statistics, the number of people who are
healthy and lonely is 10 times less dead than those who are fit and healthy. At this
stage of the university, students are just getting out of their family care and then they
are going to enter society. They are easily affected during this period, both positive
and negative. As a leader among their peers, they bear the hope of the country and the
nation.
However, studies have shown that the phenomenon of loneliness among
college students not only exists but also is very serious, which is extremely
unfavorable to their success. Therefore, it is not only the responsibility of universities
but also the responsibility of every family and every society of every college student
to focus on the sense of loneliness of undergraduates and guide them correctly so as to
help them view loneliness correctly and turn them into motive force.

lifestyles owing to the fact that they are in a new environment to which they are not
adapted to (Sillitoe 63). One of the most critical moves a student has to make is to
make new friends. Making new friends is often a daunting task for many people.

themselves best of friends.

do so many things to be able to survive. For instance, you may find a student doing so

lonely beings. Loneliness is a very serious problems in our learning institutions. As
