Abstract

The growing narratives of pain, distrust, and "numbness" post-relationship among young adults, largely reinforced by social media, inspire this research. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to understand factors that perpetuate post-relationship suffering in young adult women using the lens of cognitive behavioral counseling therapy. This research uses a narrative qualitative approach with four female participants aged 18-25 years in Siulak District, Kerinci Regency, who have experienced suffering following a romantic breakup and actively consume emotional content on social media. The data were collected through in-depth interviews and by observing the participants’ digital activity in public content on TikTok and Instagram. The results of the research suggest that discomfort persists via cognitive distortion, social retreat, and emotional reinforcement through the recurrent intake of digital content. The research suggests that social media is not just a location for emotional affirmation but can also preserve a wounded identity. The results suggest the importance of the counseling sincere strategy based on CBT and digital emotional literacy.

Abstract

The disparity between students’ initial expectations and the realities of college life may cause emotional stress, academic perplexity, and psychological adaptation problems. The complex reality of campus life often does not meet the idealistic image many students have of their academic accomplishments, the learning environment, and social interactions when they arrive at university. This state makes understanding academic resilience vital as the process of students adapting to the challenges of higher education. The purpose of this research is to analyze student resilience in the context of the gap between expectations of study and the reality of the university experience. This study combines a qualitative technique using a narrative inquiry research design. The participants were recruited purposively, consisting of three students from Sungai Penuh, Jambi, who continued their studies beyond their home region and had faced a mismatch between academic expectations and reality on campus. Data were acquired via in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic-reflective analysis. The research results demonstrate that the mismatch of expectations causes a phase of emotional disorientation characterized by disappointment, academic pressure, and a drop in self-confidence. However, individuals gradually built resilience through cognitive reframing, coping techniques, social support, emotional regulation, and reinterpretation of their academic experiences. This paper views academic resilience as a dynamic and ongoing adaptive process, rather than merely the ability to withstand pressure. This research underlines the necessity of psychological counseling services, counseling, and social assistance in higher education for students to acquire better skills in academic adaptation.
