Loneliness

  • Millennials are described as the loneliest generation followed by Gen Z (30% of millennials say they always and often felt lonely compared to 20% for Gen X and 15% for Baby Boomers).
  • More millennials reported in a survey that they had no acquaintances, friends, close friends or best friends – and this is from a generation connected to their phones and social media.
  • Social isolation ends when the emphasis is placed on fewer but more meaningful friendships in which both sides are equally invested.
  • Mitch Albom says, “The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.”
