Age ratio at A Lonely Life

[swanlake]

There are only two other people in my age group.

35... I feel like the old guy here.

 

[LeaningIntoTheMuse]

I am 29 years old.

Would the highest age bracket being 16-21 suggest that people are getting lonelier and there's more isolated people nowadays? Or is it just that people of that age group are more likely to use a forum/vote in the first place? I sort of think it's a bit of both. I reckon there's probably an increasing amount of lonely people.

Far out, so many young-uns lonely.

I predict that there will be more and more lonely people as technology continues to invade our lives. Especially the young that were born after the internet and smartphones were invented. Technology doesn't unite people (as is often advertised), it divides them.

This.
When you can socialize in the virtual world there's less of a reason to go into the real world.

That is pretty perceptive. Surveys indicate that there is a difference in the way that different age groups use the web and what they use it for.

As far as more lonely, it is possible. Many feel they see that and blame it on various things from urbanization, an increase in the number of single person households, television and well, countless other possible factors.

Age ratio is 17 here

Seventeen here and feeling good in being able to relate to people much older than myself.

40 22 17 27 ((22-68-71) same person I think)) 32 23 22 30 20 25 36 40 30 22 26 21 18 23 55 23 16 35 31 19 17 28 45 23 17 18 19 16 24 66 39 23 37 60 20 24 15 20 24 15 20 41 18 17 20 24 24 28 18 19 20 26 24 20 19 22 23 18 25 22 22 27 38 22 25 24 45 35 29 38 17 and me: 61 last month. I don't advise because I don't know what the consequences of my words will be, but I'd like to say this much: you can never have enough friends. The two best friends I ever had died of illnesses in recent years. It's my own private grief. Others I have known are no longer with us and my remaining family live abroad. I just came here looking for company but I find it impossible to talk with strangers (no offence) I don't think I have anything to say really. I hope I haven't killed any good mood that was happening. here today; that was not my intention. Please carry on. I hate it when I kill a thread.

 

[Gutted]

Wow! Most people on here appear to be in my age group. Guess I am actually least likely to be alone in being lonely. Although luckily I am not ^_^

 

[ajdass1]

Wow, I didn't expect it to be so heavily weighted towards the 16-27 bracket.

It would be interesting to see what the distribution is within those brackets.
