“Loneliness is often seen as an issue affecting older people, but we found its association with poorer health-related quality of life was greatest among young adults ages 15–24,” Rizal said.
"Loneliness is subjective and reflects how satisfied we feel with our social relationships, whereas social isolation is about objectively having fewer relationships and less frequent social contact.
"You can be surrounded by people and still feel deeply lonely, just as someone with relatively few social connections may not necessarily feel lonely.
Wait this means it was definitely a good idea to ban youth from social media right? This will make them feel less isolated from the communities they are stuck growing up in right? Right?..

If there were more places you could exist without money or suspicion it would definitely help.

I would be an entirely different human if I had regular access to that now or growing up, but one of the things nobody talks about with fascism is how there is no liminal space physically or mentally in a way that you can’t describe until you remember what it was like before it became so overbearing.

Have to agree. Few places to go that are accessible, not overpriced, not over surveillances. We continually have to compromise to exist never mind socialise.
