Buried in the data is a detail that really popped out for me: For the first time since they began tracking this, men are lonelier than women. I don’t think we know what to do with that yet.
It would be interesting to research if the increase of the percentage of people feeling lonely is an indication that people are more conscious of their feelings or are more comfortable sharing them than in the past.
Thom,
