Loneliness

Despite being more 'connected' than ever, people report feeling profoundly alone, lacking deep relationships and genuine belonging.

Loneliness is as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It undermines health, happiness, and the capacity for collective action.

Like screaming underwater. Like everyone else is at a party you weren't invited to. Like connection is everywhere except where you are.

Stories from people who go days without meaningful conversation, from remote workers craving human contact, from elders invisible in plain sight.
