How to use "Overwhelmed" in context?
Ever since I was little, I loved being surrounded by people. I loved being around people so much that as a college student, I would gladly live in a cramped dorm room with my three roommates. I loved the sense of community and the intimacy of sharing a room. But now, as I enter my twenties, I realize that I'm struggling with something new: I'm struggling with being overwhelmed. It seems like everyone I know is living a hectic lifestyle. They're constantly on the go and never have time for themselves. It's tough to keep up, and I often find myself feeling overwhelmed.
