Social disruption has hit people in myriad ways: A college student living back at home may feel disconnected from their normal social life, while an overworked parent may feel detached from their usual support system. And even people managing to cultivate an active Zoom-led social life may still feel disconnected.
But it is possible to take steps to reduce loneliness, says Richard Weissbourd, a senior lecturer in Harvard’s Graduate School of Education who directs the Making Caring Common project, which has studied community and interfamily relationships over the course of the pandemic.To Read the Full Story

Thanks The Wall Street Journal. It is true.
Get married. Dating and fornication are not healthy. Pick one partner until death do you part, even if your not a Christian. This is God’s will for humanity.

Been lonely since i got divorced in 2015. But to fight loneliness are ff; take a mile walk in morning then i bought a bicycle and bike 1.5 miles 3x a week, go to internet meetups, bought RC helicopter and fly sometimes, drink red wine while watching tv shows and local news. Etc.

Maybe, but social media friendship curbs boredom and can end loneliness technically
On Loneliness Fuck loneliness!
The young have many reasons not to care about the old. Baby boomers were spoiled by their parents who are now dying from Covid because their spoiled children have destroyed nature and indebted their societies so that a pandemic can wreak havoc.
This is why interactions between these two groups was (still is) so vital to our wellbeing. With the cultural practice of familial generations opting to live separately and very often far away, contributes to this loneliness. Bringing extended family back closer is key.
I mean yeah... we warned of that when they forcibly locked us down indefinitely. We've become prisoners in isolation in our own country.
It’s a lonely world out there. Find outlets when you start to feel...

thanks
they should get off social media and go meet people in the real world. join some kind of group, take up a hobby, join speed dating, something other than watching tiktok videos.
20-somethings supported the lockdown far, far, far more than older people did. Fuck 'em, good lesson in how actions have consequences!
Can confirm based on my 20-something son’s experience
People are depressed because they're watching their futures being squandered by boomers because boomers hate their children THAT MUCH they'd rather give all their wealth to foreigners and turn their children into de facto slaves. Retard.
Autistic patients
I'm calling BS older people maybe but the rest of us are literally connected to each other constantly
I’m sick of hearing “it’s not that bad” from people who have roommates or are living with a significant other. Our situations are entirely different.
This pandemic has been hard hitting in places we never expected. Now more than ever it’s important to focus on mental health!
It's a scamdemic
I’m confident that more people will die from suicide than the pandemic itself
I’m sure dating apps or lack of boundary settings are not helping...I can’t even imagine my 20s in this season 🤦🏾♂️

We are hearing this from parents more and more. Working with horses helps connect the disconnected. Idling engines is no fun. None at all
How about you write an article about how it's effecting the actual people who matter, our children, our future!
💔
It’s hard to make connections over Zoom. I had just transferred to my dream college two months before COVID-19 became known. Thankfully, there are a lot of ways to cope with the lack of social interaction. Join a club, find a hobby or go outside. Don’t give up!
I’m not lonely! I enjoy pandemic! letsgo
Go to nude beach. Lol
Idk what it means to be lonely. I think I must be strange because I enjoy my own company to that of others.
Tomorrow the Wall Street Journal is gonna find out the dinosaurs all went extinct.
It’s hitting kids more .
This is the new lifestyle.
I think that trend had already started because of digitization. If you look at old videos of people in the 90s the 80s back when I was young we was all going about our day not looking or talking at our phones but looking at each other.

I've been alone with myself for the last 20 years .. people are the worst today, I'd rather just die alone. If you can't find peace in your own self. You won't find it with anyone else
I love how boomers are ragging on us because we feel 'lonely'. Like fuck off of course a year of this shit (plus who knows how much longer) is gonna mess with anyone's mental health.

There's no age limit to this one. It's hitting everyone that lives alone and is away from family and friends. It's devastating individuals that suffer from depression. This loneliness leading into depression will have more fatal consequences than COVID-19.
Why does it have to be just Young Adults? Its happening to everyone at every age!!
Get some hobbies like I did when I didnt have people to hang out with for 20 years.
Maybe if they stopped going out and breaking the rules two weeks into a lockdown because they’re “depressed” then this would be over and they could legally go out and see their friends 🤷🏻♂️
Great article; thanks for raising awareness about the matter!
Come check out my onlyfans

Well that's their fault for allowing themselves to feel loneliness. I don't feel loneliness. Never have. Never will. I don't give a shit if I'm isolated. They have 'social' media. 'SOCIAL' Media. Be more like me and be indifferent to 'being alone' problem solved.
no shit

The fact is pandering to your own generation’s narrow biased views will sink you deeper into misery. The world is filled with people of all ages, views, generations, and interactivity. There’s also family, and there’s community people and your neighbors, not just YOUR generation.
It's not just the young ones that it's affecting. A whole lot of people are lonely, not just the young. I think you just don't hear of it that much cause people don't wanna know.
It's the capitalism.
We all knew that was part of it. We all knew that they would be a mental health toll, and corresponding spikes and mental health hospitalization from attempted suicides...
I got depressed a little and this is how I deal with it
Truth be told
Boo hoo cry me a river
Agree! Anyone feeling lonely bored whatever drop me a dm let’s talk
jokes on you, i've been lonely most of my life and im in my 30s

'They need to do this, they need to do that', the former President needed to act like a leader so that it wouldn't have gotten this bad. Stop putting blame on literally anything but the actual fucking problem. Fucking fight me.
When people realize that is life in a nutshell. The majority of you life you are alone by yourself with your thoughts. Learn to love yourself and be happy/engaged on your own. Covid or no covid people need to learn how to deal with it and how to support themselves as well.

bcuban Hotline calls up 700%, Overdoses up almost 25% for year ended 7/20. The cure ended up worse for the under 25 crowd. ND, NC and Alaska were basically flat. All others up according to CDC. I put it in the news segment for podcast.

sucks to suck
Everyone in the comments ' just learn how to play the guitar, it'll totally clear up that depression' these lockdowns need to be done
At that age everything seems hard. They should suck it up. Life doesn’t get easier with age. You just get better at it.
Yg iguhi igugi gggig culture
The amount of “get over it” under this post just tells me people would rather reject the thought that different people see things differently. We all have different personalities. We all have different love languages. Is it wild to think some people need social interaction?
Here’s an idea, maybe the government should stop enforcing lockdowns and give people their freedom back. EnoughIsEnough
They're lonely because they are severely socially awkward they follow Bernie and want everything for free they need old school phones no facebook fake ass b.s. and a job our lovely corrupted government is conditioning them for socialism SMH
Better to be a bit lonely in their comfortable chairs than struggling to breathe on a hospital ventilator, no?
A good case against the coddling and external locus of control young people grow up with. The western expectation that life is comfortable belies the harshness, indifference and brutality of human existence.

“Middle aged people stop blaming youth for their pandemic-induced depression” challenge
If you’re still worried about the youth, I assume you probably were hit especially hard as a young adult.
young generations are too dependant to the other This is natural selection
But hey, if we stop the lockdown you want to kill grandma, right?
The lockdowns will continue for as long as big pharma makes a big profit and Sage keeps their big budget increase
Interesting, isn’t it? Wasn’t the goal to save people’s lives? How counterproductive this lockdown has been: Covid-19 has been placed at the forefront whilst every other living circumstance and health concern have been placed on a back burner. Where’s the balance?
Boggles my mind how anyone can still feel 'lonely' when the only time-consuming action we do all day is stare on our screens while scrolling through filtered contents instead of actually talking to actual people. 'But I'm an INTJ...' 😏
Ha. I have a hell lot of fun being alone.
AnneMarieChaker Loneliness Painting by my father Carl Köhler (1919-2006)
“You can have many people around you and still feel lonely.”
There’s way too many weak people in our society, more so mentally than physically. Too many people seeking validation from others. If you are unhappy being alone with yourself, how in the world could you be genuinely happy with people?
You sure?
I’m a parent to a 9 y/o lil girl, aside from an occasional run to store etc, it’s like I’m on the clock all day cooped in the house...so technically we’re not lonely, but me working from home, her schooling from home it all blends together & I’m on edge 24/7. Tough situation.
Thank God I’m a introvert
In other news: Water is wet.
Sad indeed for many autistic people and their families and the vulnerable, elderly to o disabled.. another layer continued to be ignored or under funded...
Ha ha. Yeah. It was the pandemic...
Let me correct. Goverment lockdown and social distancing mandates cause loneliness. The pandemic has nothing to do with it.
Better late than never I guess?
The pandemic is also having a huge impact on the mentalhealth of those living with dementia and unpaid carers, as our UK research shows:
Yeh it is like decay
bro you only just noticed?
It has been an issue even before COVID. COVID has made it worse and brought it to light.
Thank you for writing this important article AnneMarieChaker I hope my forthcoming book: Navigating Loneliness: How to connect with yourself and others may help (May 2021)
I beg to differ. Youngsters are generally connected through online activity / social media. The disengaged, vulnerable elderly are suffering more - they just aren't as vocal about it.
You needed researches to know this?
No, it's lockdown loneliness. Get it right.
This is F'd up in so many levels. And this is coming from an introvert.
This nightmare has effect everyone from the old to the young. At one point we could go outside without any worries. Now we have to think about if the person next to us has 19. It's like our lives went from freedom to isolation.
DanielDiMartino Thought you supported lockdowns ?
Because they feel the need to be talking to somebody or doing something 24/7 🙄
I been lonely
Very sad. Anyone who feels lonely should reach out and become my fan and follow me on my journey to become the star of James Cameron's Avatar 4. Fan art is also appreciated. Thanks in advance to all my future fans! You will be lonely no more.
Divide and conquer. Let’s have more lockdowns in spite of the great damage they do.
Mother Nature helps . Walk and enjoy
What I’m picking up here is that hobbies are a direct substitution for human connection.
No thanks, we do not need them to spread covid. Social distancing is here to stay as the new normal.
yes,,,it has. global trauma tends to do that.

The thirst is real.
I feel that! I'm glad I have a full time job to keep me busy and talking with coworkers definitely helps. Also started taking online courses just to keep myself busy and enhance the resume at the same time.
The article hits a paywall as soon as it starts to delve into the aforementioned steps one can take to combat said loneliness. Cool, thanks for the advice.

Ya think. At this point i don't even want people around anymore my depression has gotten so bad.
Jokes on you I was already lonely b4 pandemic ! 🤣😂😆😄😊😐🤔😥😪😭😭
Thanks for your deep, investigative work on this one. There's only been DOZENS of books since the great depression talking about how joblessness, idleness and isolation destroy societal structures families and individuals....you're only 10 months late on what alt media been sayin

Just be happy to be alive.

It’s called VIDEO GAMES and SOCIAL MEDIA. There i gave you two thing to interact with people if some of us would actually use our heads

Well let's cut the bullshit and get back to normal life then! Quit writing patronizing articles, take the masks off, pull your heads out of your asses, and let's LIVE!
But when they do get together have their phones in their faces like 🤳
Truth is! One must learn to adapt, appreciate&make best use of situations. When I was sick&had few class of food I could injest, I learned how to combine them well, met those who had same issue as mine and it was fun for a year. I never thought about not ingesting ones I liked

You're telling me
Introverts and people who like being alone during pandemic....
'Get over yourselves, seriously! People lived before the whole Social Media thing. You're our future? Better make for stronger youth! Elsewise it's down to hell.' - An old coot born when men landed on the moon and Jimmy's Anthem resonated in a field called Woodstock.
It’s lockdown loneliness. Not pandemic loneliness. Totally unnecessary. The virus is not responsible. The man-made over reaction to it is.
Welcome the the club
Awwwwwwwwwww
it's upsetting that older people who have never been through isolation on this scale, are once again trying to dictate to young people how to handle a situation, when there is clear evidence this is beyond anything in history.
Personally I’ve enjoyed this time, but most everyone I know (of all generations) feels the epidemic loneliness (at least the ones living in an area that has more or less shut down). Let’s not pretend it’s limited to this or that generation. These labels have outlived their use.
More comrades. Welcome to my world of pre-pandemic
Muslims are being raped with cattle prods and Canada called it a genocide why haven't you condemned China aoc joebiden said this is cultural norms why haven't you raised awareness for this.. this is HORROR MuslimTwitter helpPlease
Me who has suffered with loneliness long before the pandemic started:
Lol bro what?
Yeah I’m depressed
Well... If they have grand parents that lived close, but never visited before the pandemic, then these young adults know how they feel about loneliness now. Oh well, life goes on. Imma have me some good sleep.
It’s gonna be ok. Hang in there. Please. 💙🙏🏻💫
Talking to people online has helped for me. People of like minds are great company.
Ohh that's a surprise. We as humans are meant to interact. Stop this madness

Plandemic
It looks as if wallstreet journal is looking to profit off of this somehow. Almost as if to glorify it as “ok” to continue, or, even better, to START becoming depressed because “everyones doin it” Wallstreet journal sucks
Researchers get paid to state the obvious? 🙄
Most Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials have messed up this planet because of their act of pure selfishness, their lack of accountability, lack of empathy, sense of entitlement, arrogant, and pretentious behaviors.
That's hard to believe since kids today basically live their lives on their phone's, society of weak people who can't improvise, overcome, adapt to the situation!
It’s the liberal left and media that are completely responsible for this! Never had to lockdown for a disease that has the same death rate as the flu!
For some young adults cause im doing fine I really don't mind being with my parents and with friends at all.
Sounds like a personal problem.
My son is finding this lockdown very difficult. He's normally at work or out with his friends. Now it's a struggle to get him out of his bedroom.
And this is why...you need to legalize all drugs until everyone has the vaccine 👀 and then fund a lot of rehabs...trust me it’ll work
Hits everyone harder than rape
Yes, because of the anxiety, isolation, and depression about the future. We, Gen Z, are addicted to social media and our phones.
Hey guys like share and subscribe to my mental breakdowns exclusively here on the Bird app, sponsored by audible_com lol not
I think you mean *lockdown* loneliness.
now Wall Street journal.. we both know that young adults cant afford to read this article.
I really feel like loneliness wouldn't as bad if it wasn't also paired with the lack of government support and the constant suffering of others that I can do nothing but watch.
1/1 he’s home now, came home 10/31/20...ended the semester with all B’s. How I see it...he ended the semester still alive. ❤️ This stress isn’t like anything anyone has seen before....pay attention to your children. 💞💞💞
Parents, get a stash of Ivermectin for each family member. Start administering it to those who test positive, while isolating him/her. Have a family dr favorable to Ivermectin check up on that person, esp at the beginning, even though it's very safe. Kills Covid in 4-6 days.
2/2..After going back to campus in August, he quickly realized that all but one class would be remote. He would now have to spend almost everyday in his room. At first, no worries, it’s all good (plays video game for hours)!! Then all of a sudden..everything went dark.
My kids are in school and playing soccer. Coping pretty well.
It’s an odd thing, my NYU sophomore who is SUPER introverted and nerdy.....is lonely. He’s an academic. I think he pick nyuniversity over EmoryUniversity because he wanted to challenge himself to “come out of his shell”..and then COVID happened. 1/2
Boomers in the comments make me want to fucking vomit. Glad to know how delusional older people have become
Social distance is necessary Help the young adults from loneliness, organizing an online video activity for them. Order your positive button pins and mail them to the young!
This is when things that some parents might have once had doubts about, like video games and sororities, can come to the rescue. Even remotely, they offer a way to socialize. D&D is having a new resurgence. We have to help them find new ways to connect that won’t be how we did.
People of all ages who live alone during the pandemic are experiencing loneliness.
It’s not the pandemic, it’s the fact that they’re being forced to “stay home.” They are having time stolen from them that they will never get back.
I’m 27 I am happy that I don’t have to spend time with friends well in my college classes at least. Being alone is okay.
real sad for sure yep
I actually feel great. God said “do not fear for I am with you”. I don’t feel lonely. I still work, go to college, have friends, read, write, and I still go out for icecream every weekend. All with a mask on, using hand sanitizer, and most importantly praying!
And yet, ignoring social skills and need to keep it going, we have proponents of permanent wfh. Clearly flexibility is critical in a tech enabled world. But the human race doesn't run on tech alone.
Why? all they do is text anyway.
🤦🏻♂️
get some friends, nerd
Oh whaaaaa no social life 😫😫😫😫 I think the zillions of pics of twatweasles SOCIALIZING says differently
I sure will be glad to see the COVID-19 pandemic go!
No shit
Time to take off those masks and let people live. Unfortunately the weak won’t make it and the strong will build immunity.
I doubt anyone will see this, but: My DMs are always open if anyone needs to talk, or you just want someone to listen to you. I have a lot of extra time and don't mind it, promise. Have a great night, dear Twitter user.
No shit
Its called 'don't have a hobby' syndrome. Get a freaking life ppl
Imagine what it has done to older adults - separated from family, alone in their homes or nursing facilities. Many are unable to get around for shopping. Many died alone. This year wasn't easy for anyone, but don't give me that 'poor young people' crap.
snowflakes. just pick a shovel and dig a hole
Young & old are lonely.. lonely before the pandemic!
I forget some people are taking it super seriously and not going out
Pandemic has caused the people to enjoy a lot of loneliness to meditation. Through loneliness and meditation, people can deeply and closely interact with their inner-self and soul. This can help giving new revelations and ideas towards rethinking universe. Feel opportunities.
I'm so lonely 😭
Those people are Extroverts that can’t stand to be alone - guaranteed none of those people are introverts.
Imagine how the elderly in nursing homes feel.
Nothing new for me. I’ve been desperately lonely with zero real life friends for over a decade... It has caused me depression and countless tearful nights for years. Loneliness is often talked about in the elderly, but never in young adults. Glad to see it brought up in the media
Awe those poor little shit heads can’t bully each other in person? Psssh y’all hang out and sit in your phone the whole time.
Maybe just buy some dogecoin and go to the moon in a lambo DogecoinToTheMoon
You guys just finding out after a year?
Get a routine and live , everything will be alright very soon
I think the hamfisted response to 2020 has created a generation who will tear this whole society down and replace it with one completely alien and terrifying to people today. But hey we saved some grandmas who were born when the life expectancy was 45
Good to know it's not just me.. Felt like this lockdown has got me massively regress as a person. Also got to a point where any message notification triggers an insufferable feeling of anxiety in my chest.
Really. So what about people who's felt alone growing up before the pandemic 🤣 this is what pisses me off people now only care about mental health now cus of the pandemic they didn't give 2 shits before hand!🙄
welcome to my life for the 99% of it.
Oh now its ok to talk about.
If anyone wants to cure loneliness then here’s how....Volunteer, Community Service, Help others...
FINALLY..Being A LifeLong ''Loner' Is Paying Off😊..Depend On OneSelf...Get To Know YourSelf..No One ELSE Can Ever Make You ''Happy..'Co-Dependency IS A Dependency...LIBERATE Your Individuality..It's The Covid-Era's New REALITY..😉

I've been making so much money on $AMC and $GME i forgot i was single and haven't talked to my friends in weeks
So many swipes, but nowhere to go.
Which is hella ironic because all they did before the Pan was talk about how introverted they were, now they lonely... pick a fking struggle already.
You mean *LOCKDOWN loneliness.
The mental health epidemic has swept across the entire world and is the source for literally every problem in society. But governments want to keep your attention of Covid. Ok.
In this thread: people who didn’t do research on covid fatality demographics, don’t understand the loneliness epidemic, and boomers that aren’t empathetic to youth issues.
So why dont they just put their face in thier phone?
THINK 💭 ABOUT IT!
OMG, these kids are so pathetic these days. Maybe if you lived through two world wars you wouldn't get depressed over a year of slight inconvenience.
Well *duh*, a year of enforced isolation and lack of human contact makes people lonely. What incredible mind-blowing research. A discovery no one could have possibly predicted! CAN YOU SEE THAT I AM BEING SARCASTIC
I won’t lie as im 25 and I have lost all motivation for myself as after watching this country go through what I would never believe. My grandpa got us here for a better life and my parents generation had a great life during the 1990’s. After 2000, it all went downhill.
lockdowns will cause decades of worse damage than covid ever caused. if you are for lockdowns you do not understand science or life outside of your little bubble and should be put down
Disagree.. loneliness is crutch.. become a SoloPractitioner & expand your skill & artistic horizons instead of addiction to cult programmed social media, define your own life path.
This is me. Lockdown has finally started to drive me insane
Who is actually sheltered alone in their house still? We've all had to go back to work since May. There really are 2 Americas. The real one, and the one in the media.
I think that there is not nearly enough research on this topic yet. This pandemic could also be creating the most resilient generation yet. Better able to adapt to being alone, better able to reach out to family and friends online. There might be benefits to all this independence
I’ve been lonely and isolated for most of my life guess that makes me tough.
SERIOUSLY! Even when I was growing up, staying home, playing video games and watching tv all day long was Da Bomb!!! Otaku before covid lockdown - gaming away. Otaku after covid lockdown - gaming away.
well that's why social media is important so you can interact with people during this difficult time. talking is very important its important to connect with someone make sure they are okay.
Lockdown should of never happened period end of story. Incompetence in the government for a virus that still as of today as a 99.4% survival rate is just insane. We hopefully will learn from this mistake and never again do this. As cases drop we can finally get back normal.
I am surprised they have looked up from their phones long enough to notice there is no one else around.
Can't be lonely when you are one of the 50k people RT a statement about someone's cat
Umm no shit. Part of the reason this shutdown madness was ill advised.
MdnghtStruggle I’m so lonely I actually think Twitter is entertaining
Very true. I’m close to breaking.
Even before the pandemic mental health was always a big problem in younger people. The people now that are claiming to be sad are sad because they cant go to that one party with their friends during a pandemic Or they do it either way
😯😯😯
It’s not the pandemic that’s the problem... it’s the LOCKDOWNS.
I was born for this!!
this doesnt apply to woman. why would you post a woman
Not that, locking people in brought that on.
Sometimes me being somewhat of an introvert helps because a lot of times I rather be alone and sometimes I love it. At the same time I can sympathize with people experiencing loneliness especially during these times
As a young adult I can agree. And before anyone says anything yes I have plenty of hobbie that have helped, I’m an avid reader, and I’ve been pushing through my school. But it’s hard when I see the same people day in, day out. Especially when I see other people my age bein better
Boomers they’re lonely because they’re on their phones the same boomers how dare you try to see one of your friends you might give us Covid!
Human beings are literally social animals to tell people they just need to learn how to live being alone is pretty messed up. Some of these people don’t even know what it’s like I myself are one of the young 20-year-olds who’s been living the whole year by myself.
How & why they are all out & about
Good morning
Yes this is true I live on my own and it’s lonely until the weekend where I break the rules 🤣
I've been lonely for 10 years now. No friends. No social life. No love life (although I've never had one of those). Nothing. Just me. It's horrible and my self-esteem is zero.
This is what happens when certain parts of the country choose to shut everything down because of fear. It inevitably leads to isolation.
Yeah no shit. I just graduated undergrad into an empty job force. I’m being paid less than living wage and I have student loans. I didn’t qualify for the stimulus or unemployment. The pandemic surely made things worse, but living and working conditions need to be improved.
What phone is that tho?
Tagged VP KamalaHarris & GovWhitmer gretchenwhitmer in my last tweet concerning MentalHealth because i do believe they are the future & really do listen to ThePeople! ✊🏾 ✊🏾✊🏾 ✊🏾 Although it is imperative that we get to work now! ⚒ 🧠 KeepTheFaith MentalHealthMatters 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Not just the young adults, pensioners but the disabled too i am one of them, it's so depressing being stuck in being vulnerable with what i have, that's not just with my disabilities, it effects us all including children.
yeah its hard. sacrifices have to be made though. its not all bad. there are ways to keep yourself sane and relatively mentely healthy during the pandemic. it just does take more work.
Thank you WSJ for featuring the impact on young people who have very low risk from corona in a year where almost all the attention has been exclusively on the 5% at risk for CV and their needs. We need to start focusing on the future and helping everyone else recover,
It’s always been this way for me, but now the loneliness has stricken me more than ever. When you have zero friends, relations and no one else to talk to, your self-worth deteriorates after being isolated for so long. You begin to desire for something more.
Being alone in a room for nearly 24hrs a day, 7 days a week is not healthy!
It took researchers to know this?
Its worst for elderly people to honest!
Try again, wsj... the word you are looking for is LOCKDOWNS
Surround yourself with the presence of God
figure it out. what’s this crying shit? These kids have zero mental toughness. some mfs went to war and still were able to raised a family, so stop your cryin and do somethin about it.
Yes, I agree. But I do believe that this applies to ALL ages/sex/race. And we’re literally creating a sub-pandemic. The vaccines are out, we need to go back to normalcy. Enough with the lockdowns, enough with Gov’s telling us we can’t eat somewhere. Open up NOW.
I grew up as an only child. Both my parents worked. Turned out that the best cure for loneliness was...reading. Reading fiction is an incredibly effective way to transport yourself out of your head and your immediate situation. Joining an online book club helps too.
I said it a million times and I’ll say it again. Nothing is more disheartening to a teen/young adult than watching the people who are supposed to solve the issue drag it out over an entire year. It makes us feel hopeless.
I have been single and alone for 10 years and the one thing I have learned no one is coming to save you from yourself the world is greedy selfish shitty place and no one out side of your mother gives a shit about you,once you except that then you cant get upset it is what it is.
I didn’t need a study to know this
They don’t have any hobbies they can pick up? What is this
All these old dons given advice like 'learn to dance', just bun a zoot man
I'm having hot flashes🤣
Nope
Not so much lonely as unemployed and really wishing i could find a job. Quebec lockdowns have made it impossible to find work.
This shit definitely hits. And I'm normally pretty content being alone, because I could just go with friends when I wanted or needed to but that's gone.
The boomers in the responses here are spewing some real garbage.
Oh, please—they can still go outside and meet friends while wearing a mask and maintaining sufficient social distance. It’s the seniors & disabled in care facilities who have been the most socially isolated during this pandemic.
Just wank bro, problem solved
The collateral damage effects of this will be long lasting.
why don't y'all get your shit together during this time instead of being around fake people that will drain your energy etc. Come on now
Healthy balance. Although I am an extrovert, I can relate at times to being lonely during the pandemic. But for most part of it I have enjoyed it. However, virtual calls and Film parties have helped stay connected.
Crazy that u need to be a scientist to figure that out
I’m 25 and I get lonely sometimes but then I realize how annoying people are and then I open DUNE or start designing stuff on Photoshop. 😂
The crazy part is social media plays a huge part in that .. people looking at the fun exciting things people post and then they feel like there life is dull/boring .. it’s super sad
Perfect time to learn the guitar/bass/piano/any instrument!!!
Loneliness is mandatory for everyone. Your credits are full, the product gets the meaning of loneliness, you will not be so resistant and bored lonely, will not escape lonely. And the credit is not enough, will become lonely patients, immersed in loneliness
It didn’t have to be this way. Socializing could’ve been possible with at home testing.
Also maybe the fact that this country sucks and refuses to help us
This is trash journalism. Shame on Anne Marie Chaker. There’s an actual PANDEMIC going on. We’re all making sacrifices here, and journalism doesn’t need to cover first world problems like “teenagers are lonely”
This shouldn’t be so!! We can still gather - just need to do it OUTSIDE and not talk into each other’s faces. Walls are the enemy y’all!
This is exactly what happened to one of my friends at the height of the crisis, only that she was all alone in student accomodation and held really dark thoughts. She's fine now.
The government has caused another kind of pervasive affliction, researchers say: loneliness
The comments here are dreadful, for those shitting on the youth for struggling shame on you. You had your childhood, your teen years, your young adult years without having to face something like this. 'Boo boo, they have phones', human contact can never be fully replaced by
Lockdowns you mean not the virus which poses a minor threat at best
We are seeing a lot of this in the dating business.
What? Isn't being alone sometimes just part of being an adult. U thought it was taught early on when you grow up you won't have time for it when you grow up? And what abut the half of kids you been ignoring at school who have no friends. You should go ask them for help
It's hitting everyone!!!! All people!!!!
you don't say.
They must be shitty researchers then because the government inflicted this on young people, not an illness.

Due to Chemo I've been inside for the better half of 3 years now, sounds like parents need to grow the fuck up. Sounds like kids also need to grow the fuck up. Shhit this ain't easy but it ain't hard either.
Being around people can be overhyped.....
Wrong it wasn't the pandemic. It was the political reaction to the pandemic
Why is this being continually ignored endthelockdown mentalhealthmatters
It really isn't healthy that they have no clue how to be alone and enjoy it.
I live that loneliness for years!...so welcome 'having people around you does not mean not being alone!'
É só coitadinhos
Could be worse your not breathing with a ventilator or living during the Great Depression and Nazis aren't dropping bombs on your head . Your not being drafted to go fight in Vietnam so suck it up loneliness is not a deadly disease. Phone your Mom
This is the same generation responsible for most infections. I’m pretty sure they’re getting out and meeting with others.
Loneliness was a problem before the pandemic. It has only grown worse during the pandemic.
They should drop their phones and go out and meet people.
This is
Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
COVID + Unilag == Extreme loliness
