Feeling lonely
We can also feel lonely even though there are people around us. This applies to student life as well, where the cafeteria, reading room, and common areas often swarm with fellow students.
One might recognize people, and perhaps we greet them from time to time. One may have many friends on Facebook, but there are few of them we dine with. The personal contact is missing. We are lonely, even though we are not alone. Surveys answered by students report that loneliness is one of the greatest mental health issues among students.
We have tailor-made advice and offers that are free for students, which you can look into. You are not supposed to deal with difficult situations on your own. We are here for you.
