Everyone is lonely at times. But chronic loneliness can make you sick. Earlier this month, US surgeon general shone a light on the problems associated with loneliness by declaring it an American epidemic. He said the growing isolation in society poses a health risk as deadly as smoking. In an 80-page report Doctor Vivek Murthy said: “We now know that loneliness is a common feeling that many people experience. It’s like hunger or thirst. ItLoneliness as dangerous as smokings a feeling the body sends us when something we need for survival is missing.”

Everyday I wake up and trough the day the only thing I think about how lonely i am, feeling devastated at night i wish to be gone by 30
You can still work hard, make money and still have friends and a social life.
Cutting back on work does not guarantee you intimacy and friendship.
Pandemic was a HUGE contributor
Social media is a big culprit for this ,
Facebook especially-
I got off this January, not ONE person had reached out to me , I have to them , But no reciprocate at all ,
When was the last time a friend called you , or texted you ???
When you do connect with a friend and ask “ have you talked to “ Jim “?
Their reply is “ I just talk to him on Facebook “. You don’t “ talk “ to anybody on Facebook…
This will never get better , impossible to change back
As a person with everything but good friends, I know what has to happen to fix the loneliness in our society. Our government, our local officials, don't have any programs that connect people together. Relying on capitalism to do it is not working. Craigslist was the closest thing to what I am talking about, but it got abused by bad people, so personals was removed. But I am talking about more than personal ads, I am talking about the government leaders hosting singles dance parties etc. Nightclubs are similar, but can be dangerous. I am talking about a safe way to meet people with similar interest…that is free. Online dating websites have too may issues, constantly trying to trick suitors into signing up for premium service by leading them on to believe they have 1000 likes, and they could see them if they pay. We need a system that doesn't play mind games, is not for profit. Why do we have public parks? To reduce stress among the population and enjoy life. I think if we had public meetup services there would be a lot less stress and people enjoying life. Definitely less loneliness issues in society. Oh yeah, use to be you could solve that lonleliness problem by meeting someone at work…but wokeness has crashed that option. So guys stay mute and focus on work instead of asking a girl out.
Totally useless if you close the discussion abruptly, the psychologist was making some interesting points.
I was preparing for neet exam , my parents treat me like infection disease patients. They give food and go to work. If anyone my neighbour or my cousin come means, I used to talk funny to them. My parents says don't waste your go and study. And my school friends are not talking in tha call, i so many times tried. I am early a funny type of person talk funny to everyone and kepps the energy. But due to this i won't focus on study always distracted and thinking about how you talk when anyone is nearby. I become almost mental. I am like a small kid the kid talk to the doll as a real person. I talk in imagination to anyone. Then more ene gy fluctuations happen sudden energy and sudden sad and overthinking about future. My parents only ask mark mark mark . They no one ask how are you, what are the thinks you learn how many subjects you have studied. In this taughtest time I spending more time to my friends to solve their problem. But while i am in problem no one helps me😢. Then i not being enjoy like earlier. People mindset a person who talk less will be successful, so you also talk less as my brother. My brother won't talk to me, if I talk he has hmm and few minutes he go the place. Then i not liketo being social because of academic marks. So I have so many suicidal thoughts and cry alone in the bathroom. I think I will dye within 4 to 5 years if I am in this situation. Why i am telling this much because there is no real person who will listen this. Have a good day to who reads this and your family will have good health.
It’s more complex than just loneliness. The masculinity issue is spot on for a large portion of men. The materialism and inequality in wealth and a pursuit of looking better and better to be suitable for a partner is another. Social medias influence speeds up these symptoms and on top of that, there is a lot of hate and violence in the world. People have forgotten what love really is. Ee hide in online systems to stay safe. Humanity is more divided than ever before and it is not getting better. And to make it even worse, sperm quality is declining because of pollution and there is not being generated enough babies in the world, so humans are in a decline. We kill ourselves for what? Profit? Prestige? As a race, we are polluted by the environment we have created. But we can change it together. All of us. Will all the good people please stand up.
I was homeless for 30 years camping in the woods or staying under a bridge. I was pretty much always alone thru all that. Didn't have much of a choice. Plus too my face got messed up in an accident so I don't like to be around other people because of that. I'm a old guy. I've become absorbed by learning to play keyboard 🤔 oh well don't need anyone around for that. Oh well maybe I should do drugs FTW
Meanwhile in rural russia for instance, old couples living their best life in the wilderness.
You never have loneliness is you adopt a fur baby! They have much unconditional love & are a loyal companion…trust me i know… I have several & i never feel loneliness.
This is very true. Hints why I really need an animal to help me get through this life. It is so hard finding good people. The average person is extremely mediocre and simple minded.
I guess the main cause is mass media, TV and internet and so on. It simulates social interaction where it's not there in reality in real life. It makes people think they are not lonely but in fact they are all sitting at home staring at screens… Cause it feels "safer". Which is the case with me
It’s funny because at work I’m the happy go lucky go that cheers others up at work and outgoing. Once I leave work I’m depressed hurt and alone… nobody has a clue
I'm nearly reaching middle age, and yet, I feel as happy and as free as a bird, while my old high school classmates are either rotting in prison or spending time abusing their spouses and kids. Why people feel the need to be depressed as single people is beyond me. Come on, people! Cheer up!
A world without love is a lonely place. 30% of male will never have a life partner.
If ur 5'5 male with balding. Youll be lonely forever when your folks die. Women are picky.
Being lonely can effect your mental and physical health I no it has happened to me my doctor said watch babe station it may help and she is a woman
I'm lonely, because I have childhood pts. Difficult chidhood.
Others have other reasons why they are lonely, but I can't relate with anybody because I'm afraid of people.
We do not "just value the masculine side and mock and demeen the feminine side". That's just a narrative.
If i die, i die, oh well never really fit in with society so im not going to bother to
I would much rather be alone than be ignored by those I love.
I’m alone. It’s my own fault and I deserve it.

That's really sad tendention…
On my channel I tried to share my own experience and advice on how to overcome loneliness and find friends. Hope, it could help someone 🙂
Loneliness is not the problem, it is having to constantly deal with obnoxious people at work or, indeed, within your family. Highly recommend a four-legged friend to achieve, and hold, one's sanity!!
