Loneliness in a nutshell

Most people feel lonely sometimes. Some people feel lonely most times. Some even all the time. Forty percent of all people experience (temporary) feelings of loneliness at some point in their lives. One in ten people feel seriously lonely permanently. Let that sink in for a moment. Of every ten people you know, on average one feels seriously lonely all the time...

However, despite the large number of initiatives to raise awareness about loneliness, there is, unfortunately, still a lot of ignorance about what loneliness actually is. As a result, people who feel lonely feel misunderstood, and people who know people who feel lonely, don’t know how to help.
