Why do we feel alone in a world where there are billions of people? In a world where we are more connected than ever, why is the rate of people taking their own lives increasing and mental health declining? One of the reasons is that we are less willing to talk to people face to face. Without that facetoface connection, we don't really get the endorphins we need to feel good. What do you think is causing this loneliness epidemic and people feeling lonely?

Do you have tips to help members of your community overcome loneliness?

Just remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
