- smallnix 2y agoLoneliness is longing for connection to other people. Loneliness does not need to relate to the number of people you talk to or that you know.
- Dalewyn 2y agoIn an era when humanity is more connected than ever in history, loneliness is decidedly a "you" problem unless you have some sort of medical condition that inhibits socializing.
- Exoristos 2y agoAmericans are more socially disconnected than ever in my lifetime, and I'm pretty old and have lived all over. There's a well-studied epidemic of loneliness and confusion. So perhaps you could refine your terms.

- imiric 2y agoIn what world are you living in where humanity is connected? If anything, technology has only driven us further apart. Those mission statements from social media companies are nothing but empty platitudes.
- CalRobert 2y agoModern parenting in a nuclear family is a profoundly lonely experience.
- _yb2s 2y agoThe loneliest I’ve ever been was as a new parent with an abusive and distant spouse. I went years without any positive interactions or connection with another adult.
