The survey's figure marks a two-year high, up slightly from earlier this year.

In all seriousness, i do not blame anybody for isolating themselves away from the world we are living in today. From the web to dealing with people/the world for real, shyt will make you sick physically and mentally. Cant even go to these mental health folks for help because sadly, a lot of them are on some bullshyt too. Youll be either waiting for them to call you or get a counselor who probably doesnt care. Im speaking as one of those 1 in 5 adults.
im just strong enough to deal with it as loneliness and being alone has been a common theme in my life for as long as i can remember. As a child, i would remember when i would be in the next room by myself while my family would be in the living room watching tv and interacting. Nobody would bother me or check on me to see if i was okay.
Then there were the times i would get rejected from social circles to the point where i was told i wasnt wanted around to my face or just ignored.
Its like i was trained to be that way so its like nothing to me. It has its disadvantages and potential harmful side effects obviously but somehow ive been able to manage. I was forced to be alone even when i didnt want to be so as a kid, i would eventually begin to start talking to myself starting when i was around 8, 9 or 10 because i didnt have anybody to talk to about certain things or certain times and still do it to this day. I do have people and family but its NOTHING for me to go off the grid and be noncommunicative for a long period of time. I actually get more uncomfortable being around other people for extended periods of time than i am when im alone that i actually even isolate myself or dart off into my own space where i can be alone.
And im not a "sigma male" either or these stupid ass terminologies created by these capitalists looking to profit off of this bullshyt like certain youtubers.
