TBH, I had an absolutely fucking horrible time living in a dormitory-style arrangement when I was trying to pursue a trades education ~4 years ago, and I think it was a major part of what caused me to fail out of the program.
I can't deal with being around that many people all at once, all the time. I feel an extreme degree of social anxiety, and pressure to succeed in that kind of environment, and it's caused me to engage in some moderately concerning self-harming behavior in the past (e.g. ramming my head at full force into a concrete wall as a form of self-punishment, and running off campus into the woods during a severe snowstorm just to get away from it all).
Totes fair, it's definitely not for everyone.
What do I do about it tho?
