I hope folks can start getting the help they need. Feeling lonely every day leads to suicidal ideation, that leads to suicide. If there's one thing I wish men were worse at it's that but if suicide was a professional sport women wouldn't even make the team.
I don't see it happening. I've been in this boat for like twenty years. I don't have anyone who visits or hangs out with me. I only see my coworkers on the work floor, which is 1-2 days a week tops. Also, no one I know considers it an issue worth debating, let alone take action over. "Let them sort their own issues out".
If I want to get drunk with strangers, that's always an option, but it doesn't really interest me so I pass.
There's hope yet! Women are getting better at the sport every day!
