Re: Epidemic of loneliness
Re whether surfing the web contributes to loneliness: We bought my mom a computer for her 71st birthday 12 years ago and she took to it with great enthusiasm. She loves researching topics on the web for her peer learning group at the seniors' centre. She is very social and does get out and about but she also makes good use of email to stay in touch with family and friends all over the country. My daughter sends photos of her baby (first great-grandchild) which mom prints in colour and posts on her frig. She recently joined FaceBook - the first I knew of it was getting a friend request from her! I'd say she's far from lonely.Re: Epidemic of loneliness
Re: Epidemic of loneliness
I was in that place where loneliness consumed me when I was in my late 20s. As has been said I was alone in a crowd. As a result of my aloneness I made poor decisions on wives that resulted in divorce and heartache. By the time of my third and final marriage I had learned to be content with myself. My third wife didn't love me but married me out of convenience. I wish she had told me that earlier so I wouldn't have spent 15 years in hell.Re: Epidemic of loneliness
I don't have a wife or girlfriend right now. But I have a teenage daughter from my second marriage who lives with me, so my situation isn't the same as being alone. But there are always things to do if you want to.Re: Epidemic of loneliness
