This phenomenon has become more acute with the pandemic, and represents a major risk to mental health. At an age when you're supposed to have an active social life and make friends, being alone remains a taboo surrounded by feelings of shame and guilt. Is there a way out of this negative spiral? How can we escape this loneliness? Or how to live better with it?
