Technology and modernity are definitely factors that have led to increased loneliness, but I hope it'll help lead us out too. My company, Krewe (https://www.gokrewe.com https://www.gokrewe.com) is making it easy for people to make a new group of friends in their neighborhood and actually have an active, real world social life.
- xufi 10y agoThat's pretty amazing. This was something i just discussed in a Psychology class that I was in about lonliness and visits/interaction where someone is physically present bridges the gap and decrease lonliness. There have been many studies that I've read also show that the people who are lonley and online also have increase microagressionns and lack social interaction skills.
- krashnburn200 10y agoThe part i don't get in all this discussion is that being alone is a physical thing, but being lonely is a choice, a perception that can be changed subjectively. If you are feeling lonely, and don't like. Stop. On the other hand if you are enjoying feeling bad, which happens more frequently than most people seem to realize, then don't complain.
- xufi 10y agoThat is a interesting point to bring up indeed. By "Youre Enjoying feeling bad" I have come to understand that people that always feel bad or frequently come to use it sympathy and over milk it out.
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoDo you tell clinically depressed people that they "just need to cheer up," too?
