Feeling Lonely? You're Not Alone

I believe we are in the midst of a loneliness crisis. It's become quite common nowadays for people to struggle with feelings of isolation. In fact, roughly one out of three people report having little to no friends or feelings of disconnection from people around them. If you're one of those people, if you're feeling lonely, you're not alone. It's a more common experience than you might realise. In the last decade loneliness has been on the rise, without showing any signs of slowing down. From the elderly who have nobody to talk to, to the young adults who are isolating themselves, nobody is immune. But why is loneliness even a problem and why should you care?
