I actually was not surprised that a recent study found that the loneliest people were in their 40s. Study looks at all the lonely people.
In your 40s, you are still wearing a social mask, doing what other people expect you to do and finding it increasingly empty. It's about 50 when you drop the mask to journey inward.
People aged 50 and older had the lowest levels of loneliness.
Interesting as I'll be 40 soon enough. Maybe I can skip right to 50.
