I seem to be seeing an increasing number of articles about loneliness. Is it a modern phenomenon?
Today's articles include 'Which is the world's loneliest city? and 'The app to cure loneiness' . The second must be aimed at those that have read the first.
So what's going on? The editors are obviously sympathetic to these views as well as the journalists, or maybe the proprietor instructs his staff to come up with a cure for loneliness e.g. which cities to avoid, which app to peruse whilst you are not travelling there. That sort of thing.
..and when did it start, this focus on loneliness? Is it a result of a reduction in the marriage rate? ..people getting married/cohabiting later in life? Renting rather than owning property?
Porbably a combination of all these plus a few I can't think of.
