The phenomenon of loneliness has transformed from an experience at the margins to an everyday reality for the masses, which poses a significant threat to society.
The decline of social capital gained in the mid-20th century has led to a troubling increase in loneliness, particularly among young people, who now engage far less socially than before.
Loneliness, distinct from solitude, can be experienced even when surrounded by others, leading to profound feelings of isolation and disconnection.
Loneliness is destructive, affecting individuals profoundly, with ramifications on personal well-being and potentially contributing to larger societal issues such as totalitarianism.
