An Epidemic of Loneliness in America! (CBS News)
If you ever feel disconnected from others, take some solace in the fact that you’re not alone. A new report finds that many Americans are lonely, and younger adults appear to be the hardest hit.
The study, published by the global health service company. Cigna, found that 46 percent of U.S. adults report sometimes or always feeling lonely and 47 percent report feeling left out.
Cigna calls those “epidemic levels.”
What’s more, only around half of Americans say they have meaningful in-person social interactions on a daily basis, such as having an extended conversation with a friend or spending time with family members.
How about you?
Most people today are absorbed in the issues of their own lives. So, they don’t seem to have either the time or inclination to reach out to strangers.
Join organizations with whom you have something in common.
You don’t have to live a life of loneliness.
If not today, when?
