Psychology says the loneliest generation in history isn't Gen Z - it's the boomers who raised everyone, hosted everything, and are now sitting in quiet houses wondering where everybody went - Silicon Canals

"Research from multiple countries consistently shows that adults over sixty-five report the highest rates of chronic loneliness of any age group. In the United States, the National Academies of Sciences reported that more than a third of adults aged forty-five and older feel lonely, with the problem most acute among those over sixty-five."

"These aren't people who failed at relationships. Many of them had rich, vibrant social lives for decades. They were the connectors. The hosts. The ones who organized and showed up and held the social fabric together."

"The contrast between how different cultures treat their older generations is impossible to ignore. The removal of social pillars has left many older adults isolated, wondering where everyone went."

The removal of social pillars has left them isolated. In contrast, younger generations are often perceived as the loneliest due to their reliance on technology. However, the reality shows that the older generation, who once organized social gatherings, now faces significant loneliness as their social networks have diminished.
