College students, as a special group, are under pressure from many aspects such as school, family, society, individual self and so on. And with the rapid development of society, the psychological pressure of college students is becoming heavier and heavier, showing an upward trend year by year. So what is the main source of stress for college students? Daily life events are the main source of stress, among which problems such as study, employment, interpersonal relationship, love, communication, future, and economy are the most frequent events. Let’s take a look at it together to understand the source of stress, in order to better relieve stress.

Source 1: Study pressure

Study pressure is the most important source of pressure faced by college students. First of all, part of the learning pressure comes from the major that you are showing off, which may not be your favorite; secondly, the burden of the course is too heavy, the learning method is problematic, and the long-term mental tension will also bring pressure; then, participating in various certificate exams and postgraduate entrance exams bring test pressure, etc. Competitive pressure among learning pressures is again the number one pressure. Academic success or failure will be directly related to their own interests, including honors, scholarships, graduation certificates, degree certificates and so on. Therefore, students feel the most pressure of learning.

Source 2: Employment pressure

In recent years, the number of people graduating every year has been increasing, the market demand is relatively saturated, and college students generally have high employment expectations, so employment also makes them feel considerable pressure.

Source 3: Communication pressure

Interpersonal communication is an important source of stress, and it plays an important role in maintaining and improving physical and mental health and promoting its socialization. Because they come from different regions, different living habits, personality characteristics, personal hobbies, family backgrounds, etc., the interpersonal relationships of college students become very complicated. Due to the lack of interpersonal education since childhood, some students have obvious deficiencies in communication cognition and communication skills, so that they cannot properly handle conflicts in interpersonal communication. Not having a good interpersonal relationship often makes people feel cramped, unconfident and even self-blame. The more this is the case, the easier it is to withdraw and enter a vicious circle and cannot extricate themselves.

Source 4: Love pressure

For college students, a romantic relationship is not just a relationship, but a recognition of self-worth. Lovelorn will not only lose emotional sustenance, but will also hit self-confidence, resulting in some negative emotions, affecting normal learning and life. Moreover, due to their psychological immaturity and lack of social experience, they are often too emotional and romantic about love, which is more likely to cause some major stressful events, such as lovelorn or pregnancy.

Source 5: Economic pressure

For poor college students, economic problems are an important source of their psychological pressure. The parents of some college students have been laid off, and the family economy has been greatly affected. They are worried all day long. They hope that they can help their families as soon as possible. Powerless, often helpless and frustrated. Some parents have too high expectations for their children, and their economic conditions cannot keep up with the actual situation of their children. Students have an inferiority complex in the contrast of their daily life. They are always worried that others will look down on them, and that an inadvertent joke or behavior among classmates will deeply stab their hearts.
