    Yes, pursuing a PhD degree can often turn out to be a journey of solitude owing to a culture of long, silent, and independent research, which often makes mutual conversations difficult. You often find yourself sitting in libraries for hours and sipping coffee while reading various books, articles, and journals to come up with a strong thesis work. There is less social interaction, and time management may seem difficult, but with your persistent efforts and passion for the field, you can overcome this feeling of loneliness and reach your final goal of PhD completion.
