Reply to comment by AllanfromWales1 in Meta-analysis shows a strong association between loneliness and depressive symptoms in children and adolescents by chrisdh79
One interesting thing to note: Loneliness isn't necessarily "spending much time alone". Sometimes it manifests as constantly hanging out with lots of people so that you're never alone. Or feeling alone when surrounded by others.
Conversely, some people who spend lots of time alone aren't lonely at all, and perfectly content with that level of interaction.

The only casualty was a pig, owned by an Irish farmer, which was shot by an American farmer for eating his potatoes. Both countries deployed military troops. by drak0bsidian
