[Discussion] how do you remain concentrated during studying without feeling the need to emotionally connect with others through text/FB chat?

hi all. as the title states, this has long been my kryptonite. i'll go to the library intending to get through 5+ hours of studying for grad school but then i find myself intermittently chatting others on FB chat, gchat, etc. i don't have any past psychiatric history to note (thinking depression or ADHD), and am a pretty run of the mill millenial type trying to make his way through grad school. the study sessions , even if done at the library, are difficult to get through without taking regular phone breaks.

how do you deal with loneliness during studying? is this a normal feeling or am i feeling it too excessively?
