Summary/Abstract: This article presents my work on exploring the specific figure of "ordinary" social suffering introduced as a problem by Pierre Bourdieu, but in the context of post-Bourdieu socioanalytical theory, focusing your attention on the case of the "unrealized university graduate" and more specifically on the case of a young woman who lost her biographical illusio, on which I was working in the project “'I have no one to turn to!’ - socioanalytical dimensions of vulnerability” research project and using the methodology, integrated in the project of socioanalytical protocol. In the course of this article I will discuss the results of my research on the fragility of the human being-project and the specific form of suffering that its loss causes. Applying the micro-perspective of socioanalysis to A.'s specific case as an “unrealized university graduate”, I will attempt to address the following important problem: through A.'s existential knowledge of the suffering she experiences as an individual who has to coerce her will to objectivity and continue to exist “in spite of herself”, as well as by observing her unique situation of suffering and vulnerability, I will attempt to differentiate certain" diagnostic criteria "through which little suffering is represented in her story, and to determine whether she applies and what strategies for overcoming her vulnerability and suffering.
