经济观察报 记者 张英 刘晓诺 实习记者 田韫莘 吴育彤 张涵是上海一所大学的辅导员，同时也是学院的心理专员，过去八年，每年她都会遇到有自杀意图的学生。2025年，她管理的200多名学生中就有7名提过自 杀，考试不理想、失恋、室友矛盾等都可能让部分学生产生自杀念头。 在2025年年终述职时，她看到学校心理中心的PPT上写着学生心理咨询量同比增长了60%。 不仅是这所学校，在经济观察报采访的多所高校，学生的心理咨询需求在过去几年均有大幅增长。江苏一所重点高校的数据显示，2025年的心理咨询量比 2019年增长了30%左右，显著高于学校招生人数的增长比例。 室友矛盾找警察 张涵常常为学生缺乏基本的社交能力感到惊讶。每学期都会有学生向她提出调换宿舍，原因常常是室友间不协调的生活习惯，但当张涵问及"你是否告诉对 方你的期望"，学生往往回答"没有，不知怎么开口"。 她观察到，学生们在宿舍里几乎都会拉上床帘，帘子里的人不知外面的人是否准备打游戏，外面的人不知帘子里的人是否在睡觉、会不会被吵到，彼此不沟 通全靠猜。发生矛盾后，学生间无法自行解决，只能要求辅导员调换宿舍。 更让她不解的是，如果调换宿舍的诉求没有得到立刻解决， ...

"朋友圈总能刷到有人结婚的消息，同龄人陆续买房买车，而我什么都还没有，人生这条路我好像慢了 一拍……"不久前，有朋友"吐槽"自己面临的"同辈压力"，言语间满是焦虑。 所谓"同辈压力"，一般指与身边同龄群体的互相比较中所产生的心理压力。"我得跟他们一样好，甚至 更好"——这种与同辈人比较而产生的焦虑与困惑，伴随着升学、求职、婚恋等不同的人生阶段，仿佛 是一把无形的尺子，时刻衡量着自己与他人的差距。 同龄人之间的比较本是常态，适当的竞争可以增强内生动力、激发潜能。可一旦陷入盲目"对照"，便容 易活在别人的节奏里，成为焦虑的来源。担心"一步慢、步步慢"，没跟得上"社会时钟"而被同辈群体超 越，便急于和同龄人"拉齐进度"，这种亦步亦趋的追赶，非但无助于自我价值提升，反而容易让人陷入 持续的内耗，不利于自身成长。 人生没有标准答案，也不可能整齐划一地抵达终点。青春的精彩，正在于每个人都能在自己擅长的领域 闪闪发光。当我们学会享受并肩奔跑的时光，便会发现同辈之间理想的关系并不是复制他人的成功，而 是在彼此携手前行中找到属于自己的人生节奏，遇见更好的自己。 《 人民日报 》（ 2025年11月11日 18 版） (责编：袁 ...
