“Feeling lonely? Meet the people who suffered extreme isolation – then found happiness”, is written by Moya Sarner, “a freelance writer and editor based in London” (s. 1) It was published in 2018 in The Guardian and the Times.

The article presents a man named Steve, that’s talks about his period in his 20s when he was avoiding his friends, even though he wanted some company, he was getting lonely when he was getting himself isolated from the world.

Steve was a normal young man from a small town who, unlike his friends ended up in bad living conditions. Steve ended up living in an illegal property for a while. For one an old friend came by and sees his living situation surrounded by people that take drugs. He gives Steve a hand to get him out of his living situation. So, he was able to get his own place.

According to some scientists, some observations of monkeys suggest loneliness is not determined by observing those who spend time alone, but rather by honouring those who approach a group

and then retreat. The article claims that loneliness is on the rise.
