It's not a question more of a confession?

I am a 26 yo women I have done my graduation and currently preparing for my postgraduation entrance exam. This phase is getting lonelier day by day and I feel when I am own my own bubble overthinking it gets worse but when I hear someone has got it worse it kind of relieves me. Am I a bad person

You’re not a bad person. I’m 25 and in a similar phase — finishing my degree and dealing with responsibilities that get overwhelming at times. Knowing others go through tough phases too sometimes makes me feel less alone. It’s a human reaction, not something wrong.

Thank you so much I really needed to hear this. Makes me feel less alone

[TheInvincible]

I’m happy it helped. You’re definitely not alone in this.

But how to deal with it... When you are alone at your place nobody to talk to nobody to share with... Your books looking at you

[TheInvincible]

Yeah I get that. It gets heavy when it’s just you and your thoughts. I usually talk to a couple of online friends or just have music/podcasts playing so it doesn’t feel so silent. Little things like that make it a bit easier.

No, but you should avoid comparing yourself to others. Try and focus on yourself. The loneliness does seem to get easier with time.
