As the product of irrational competition, the "involution" mentality is actually manifested as people's anxiety, panic and confusion about the present and the future, and it will also lead to the depression of indifference in social interpersonal communication. Its essence reflects the "re possession" way of life under the Collective unconscious. The mentality of 'involution' affects the formation and development of college students' values, inhibits their comprehensive development, promotes their indifference to interpersonal communication, and also leads to a waste of time and physical and mental destruction. In this regard, ideological and political education should shoulder the responsibility of educating people, awaken students' self-awareness in the process of ideological and political education, guide students to establish correct values, update educational concepts, and innovate work methods to help students overcome the quagmire of "involution" mentality.
