UPSC prep: Loneliness during preparation and ways I overcame it
Loneliness during UPSC preparation arises because - 1.No one understands your journey. 2.No one understands the uncertainty of this exam. 3.Taking this exam too “personally” i.e attaching your worth with it. Ways ro overcome loneliness 1.Sports - I played 1–2 hours everyday,no matter what happened.Even one day before prelims and mains.This boosted me up and kept me balanced. 2.Avoided social media - Social media makes you feel even lonelier as you start to compare your lives with others. 3.Avoided toppers’ talks - Because they will sing their songs in that and you will mostly feel downgraded.However I loved the talk of IAS Govind Jaiswal .His rags to riches story boosted me up. 4.Talk with family
