I've seen the stats for young people as well and as the Dad of three kids (18, 24 and 27) I worry about this greatly, so it's terrific to see such good and detailed (and thoughtful) commentary, thank you. I also explore loneliness and connection on my Substack, and I'm loving knowing there are others out there that share my passion for understanding how loneliness impacts so many people.
