"Isolation Epidemic: 40% of Adults Experience Days Without Face-to-Face Interaction"

A survey of 2,000 British adults reveals that 40% have gone at least three days without a face-to-face conversation, with 28% feeling lonely at social events and 25% experiencing isolation at work. Young adults and women are particularly affected, and the reluctance to discuss loneliness exacerbates its impact on confidence, anxiety, and sleep. However, bonding through shared experiences, joining communities, and seeking professional support can help combat loneliness, as emphasized by psychologist Anjula Mutanda.
