I had this as a teenager up until age 20. The first couple months of this transit, before Saturn retrograded back into the 3rd, were a positive time socially. I felt more deeply connected to my friends and hometown. I was probably going through depression and a difficult relationship with my parents for a good portion of the time, but I don't remember many specifics since that was generally the case throughout those years of my life.

By the time Saturn moved into my 4th to stay for several years, I had taken a big hit, socially. I spent the summer at home barely doing anything, playing video games and things like that. Then my senior year of high school came and my class schedule was moved around so I had to spend pretty much the whole year with people I didn't really feel connected with. I still got to see my other friends, and things improved there (I reconnected with one friend I'd had a falling out with), but there was definitely a greater sense of loneliness throughout the year. I put most of my energy into doing well at school and working on college applications.

I wanted to go out of state, but I ended up needing to go to college in my city, for financial reasons. So then I had my freshman year of college and I lived in the dorms, it was my first time not living at my parents' house. I had a roommate the first semester, he was alright but we weren't close. I applied to be moved to the new dorm they had just built for my second semester, and due to there being an odd number of applicants, I ended up being the odd one out and getting a double room to myself for the price of one. I actually really enjoyed that experience. It was a much nicer dorm. Of course a bit more isolating, but generally positive.

Then that summer, the end of the transit, I house sat for my friend's mom and stepdad, and really enjoyed staying at their house, but they ended up getting robbed. I know it happened before I even showed up because the money they had left me on the table for groceries was gone. But when they got back, they discovered some things were missing from their bedroom drawers, which I hadn't noticed. I didn't handle the situation in the best way and my relationship with them tanked. Things eventually got resolved to some degree, much later on, and I found out that someone had anonymously returned the large amount of money they had stolen, in an unmarked envelope. But still, going through that was one of the worst experiences of my life. I took it as a lesson on being careful about who I got entangled with. There has been a lot of drama in their family.

I also was dating someone that summer who I was really into, and the breakup was tough on me emotionally, but getting over it led me to find some inner emotional strength I didn't know I had.

A lot of info, sorry! I've never reflected on the transit like this before so it was an interesting exercise for me.
