Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog, hope you guys are doing great?

I have come to notice that some students who are introverted finds mixing up with their fellow students as a challenge. One needs to mingle and participate in social gatherings to build leadership skill and I will write on it today. Without much fuss I will be writing on a topic Dealing with Social Isolation as a student

Social isolation is the state in which an individual lacks the sense of associating with his/her fellow students also does not engage with others. Most times this is seen in students who are introverts and feels withdrawn, social isolation is a very bad trait to be exhibited as student because the tertiary institution (campus) is where one should create networks which can be of help for greater heights/ opportunities after school.

One's ability to tackle this challenge of social isolation can be of help in developing leadership skill which will enhance communication within a work place one finds his/her self after the four walls of a University.

As a student you need to interact with people so you will not be limited with only what you know and associating with people will make you appreciate diversities, ease anxiety and kill depression. Be free with people so that you can kill this challenge called social isolation.

Of course social isolation cannot be tackled if the control measures or solutions are not proferred.

The number one measure in dealing with social isolation is;

Change your mindset Social Isolation starts from the mind, it often comes with words like "I am made this way", "this is how I am and I can't change myself" etc You're that way, Yes! but you can change it. The mind controls how we behave, react and express ourselves. Most times you find out that people with this kind of mindset are always unhappy, learn how to control your thoughts and be free.

Go outdoor: Dealing with social isolation starts when you go out to meet people, interact, and share ideas then merry and be happy.
Most times we see alot of students commit suicide because they fail to go out and share their problems, going outdoor will make you confide in people on your problems and probably get solutions to them.

Always keep a smiling face Smiling gives people the impression that they're welcomed to interact with you. Always keep a smiling face even though it's hard, it will make people feel free to be around you.

Get involved in social activities/gatherings Going outdoor and getting involved in social activities is a two different thing. Getting involved in social activities entails involving in campus sports, quizz, good social gathering etc. Allow the school to be part of you and see yourself getting off the hook of social isolation.

Lastly,

Be physically active as possible One need to stay active, be alert and be involved at all times. Be active always so you can deal this challenge of social isolation.
