Sharing – Stop Calling It A ‘Male Epidemic’ – Loneliness Is Everywhere

It’s an ongoing issue for men, yes. I’ll have more on that later this week. But it’s a much larger problem for everyone.

“Ultimately, loneliness is not just a personal issue; it is a cultural one.”

We have created a culture that makes it challenging to form and sustain meaningful connections. It truly is a cultural problem. Whether it’s the lack of third places, our focus on work instead of community, or the fear of reaching out to others, we’re growing increasingly isolated.

That isolation might feel like independence, but it does real harm.

This impacts different groups in various ways, but it is not limited to any one group. It’s everywhere. As the article linked above states, the increases in loneliness for young women, new mothers, the elderly, etc., are also doing real harm.
