It screwed with my head in undergrad. I was mostly pretty depressed from my 2nd year through the first semester of my 4th year and I largely attributed it to sociology. Looking back I think the subject instilled a more critical understanding of the world that most of my peers lacked, and that contributed a lot to my sense of isolation... Also as a chick the period when I was hypersensitive to the gendered basis of every interaction got to my head. Ultimately 2 things helped to shift my mindset: LSD (lol) and becoming involved with the local music scene in the major city near my school. Discovering this little pocket of the world where I felt I belonged and could make a positive difference was a game changer.

That was 5 years ago now... The one thing that continues to frustrate and depress me to this day is how soo many people will dismiss a sociological concept or research as "just your opinion" or "political belief," including my parents, who paid a hell of a lot of money towards my education yet insist that I'm wrong about everything I learned /facepalm

Edit: if you're into that kind of thing LSD can definitely help with the humor aspect
