The Rise Of Female Loneliness

No.

[@abigailmccauley6103]

This came at the right time as the majority of my female friends have boyfriends,husbands, partners, and I’ve never had that experience before. And I do get lonely. The older I’m getting the more lonely I’m getting and I feel like I’m always going to be by myself.

[@Psych2go]

It’s completely understandable to feel that way, especially as you see friends in relationships while you’re navigating things solo. Loneliness can be really tough, but remember, your story isn’t over yet, and there’s no set timeline for finding connection. Sometimes, these seasons help us grow closer to ourselves, which can make future relationships even stronger. You’re not alone in this, and there’s always hope for the companionship you’re looking for. 💜

[@NathanDavis508]

We forge our own path. It’s easy to see friends and family finding partners and all of that, but it’s worth asking yourself if that would really make you happy. I’d put my happiness above others expectations of me 1000%. If you’re not living for yourself, are you even alive? I’m only 22 and I’ve never had a woman in my life, and I get the typical “why haven’t you got a girlfriend yet?” From friends and family, and I don’t care. I’m happy where I’m at. Idk where you’re at, but it’s easy to feel pressured into being in a relationship and people enter relationships for many different reasons. However, at the end of the day the most important question I think you HAVE to ask yourself is, “Will this make me happy?” Good luck to ya 👊

[@ltdino21]

All i can really input is that time is not on your side. Not trying to scare you but once you hit the 40’s, thats pretty much it unless you get incredibly lucky and get a decent divorcee or a rare guy who didnt get picked up and has no overly terrible qualities. My mom is in that dating scene right now and i do not recommend it. Get out to social activities, try different hobbies that people go to. Best of luck

[@nitrocatofficial6939]

Ngl that intro had me triggered. Like its so bad that people are only talking about male loneliness. We are just celebrating because society is FINALLY talking about it. Its so popular because men have been ignored for so long, its only thanks to the internet that we are finally able to talk about it. Men are less likely to have support groups. That depiction of how unfullfilling dating apps are for women felt so unaware. Imagine being able to easily experience dates and hook ups. Even the opportunity to be catfished. Unless you are the top 1% of men, you will get absolutely nothing. This is backed by research data. THAT is isolation. And society villifying men, and masculinity is alienating. There is a reason why male suicide dwarves female suicide.. In fact, the leading cause of death in men below 50...is suicide.

[@chaosl9860]

[@daydreamer8364]

How about you take inspiration from women and you know... do something for your look to be considered more attractive, you can use some cosmetics for your face even as a men. Get a haircut, clothes, etc. And I'm pretty sure women make families with more than just 1% of guys or you wouldn't even exist.😂

[@infoblox5359]

The "opportunity" to be catfished? Not all attention is good attention, some of it can be more harmful than a lot of people realize. And not all women even receive attention just because they're women automatically.

[@SCBiscuit13]

I fealt a bit triggered as well. Then again, women being lonely does not take away from guys being lonely. I can try to understand the view point. This is a good sign that society isn't right and something needs to change.

[@demonspawn4214]

In my experience with loneliness, it starts out with the mentality of "I'm better off alone," usually after something happens in your life. This feeling of ostracizing yourself turns into the sad realization of "nobody noticed that i left" or "Did they even notice me in the first place?" It quickly turns into a harsh reality that nobody noticed, so i must've not been important to them. It's rough to realize it at first, but it then becomes numb. You stop hanging out with more and more people that you use to. Your grades fall, your parents ask why they took a nose dive, but your only answer is "idk." The things that were originally fun or meaningful to you stop being so. In my case, i stopped working out, i focused more on binge watching shows that do give me a little joy. You start apologizing for everything, whether you did it or not, i also started smoking weed because it gave me that numb feeling of "i dont have to worry about it right now." I started to feel like i wouldn't mind just going to sleep forever. I wasn't suicidal but i wouldn't have mind if something naturally took me out. I heard the phrase "second hand suicide" and it really stuck to me. idk if i could call it depression but it's definitely something.

[@demonspawn4214]

I feel you - this remembers me very much of myself. It went uphill when I did what I always dreamt of when I was a kid. The fun part here: Back then I was convinced to not even have a dream - I just did not care about anything really. But this numbness was a result of pushing down all my real emotions for decades. I had to find back this voice inside me that I told so long to shut up, so that I can "function". I know it feels impossible for you to read about that, I remember that... but this voice is still there, somewhere, whispering in another room, with closed doors... but you can find it. And then do what this voice is telling you. Its weird. But this voice knows exactly what to do.

I really don’t understand how this is a problem, men are lonely, women are lonely, neither want to be lonely so why aren’t we helping each other?

[@outlaster3431]

It makes some sense when male loneliness was brought up it was used as a way to critic men and not provide real solution heck some people actually claimed it was because of men's lack of emotionally vulnerability and they made it seem like it was something that wouldn't affect women as much but since that doesn't seem to be the case it's kind of odd to see that group that claimed to be better at relationship and emotional regulation have the same issues even thou those issues when allegedly stemming from inherently male behaviour

[@lifesoldier]

kate bush's song running up that hill touches on that. she speaks of the desire to make a deal with god to get men to swap places with women and viceversa, so we can understand each other entirely. obviously this is impossible but it's the big dilemma i believe

[@CodeDusq1]

The truth is… everyone so consumed by their own struggles that genuine connections are becoming rare. We live in a world where relationships feel more transactional, and it’s hard to bridge that gap. People get so preoccupied with their own issues against the void that reaching out becomes a challenge.

I agree! This is a great chance to understand both genders view on loneliness and find empathy to help one another, Not fighting against each other.

[@legogenius1667]

Frankly, although I would like to see both genders not have a loneliness problem, male loneliness comes almost exclusively from women while the opposite is not true. Men are the only segment of society who never receive unconditional love. So yea, I'm going to prioritize solving that one first.

[@jennifermarie3158]

@@legogenius1667 Male loneliness comes from themselves. Misogyny is rampant, and why would any woman want to be around that? Fix that problem, and maybe more women will want to be around you. All of my female friends who are dating are genuinely looking for unconditional love. Whereas most of them men I know who are dating are looking for sex first and foremost, and they won't even be upfront with women about that. Or the men think they are in it for unconditional love, but then when they have it they get "bored" or want something else. Moreover, I grew up with my Dad as my only parent, and I literally never experienced unconditional love. Never while I was growing up did I receive a hug or any loving comment. My Dad thought paying the bills meant he was parenting, and besides that we were more or less abandoned. Women are the gender most capable of GIVING unconditional love. Women give unconditional love all of the time, and mostly only get it back from other women. Also, nobody is stopping ya'll from putting in the work to find friends. It's work/effort to make friends and socialize. It doesn't just naturally come to people as you think it might, especially as you get older. The truth is, women are socialized to put in labor to find/maintain community, and men depend on women for it instead of putting in the work themselves.

[@legogenius1667]

@jennifermarie3158 The statistics show that you're incorrect. Men have a normally distributed attraction, meaning men tend to think the average woman is averagely attractive, but for women the distribution is skewed such that women only see 1 in 6 men as average or above. The insanity of that last sentence should be self-evident to any rational person. Women will ignore the men that would have been willing to love them, in favor of literal criminals. The top 10% of physically attractive men get attention from all women, while the ugly guys live their whole lives without so much as a compliment or hug, except from their good male friends. The only people on Earth who have ever gone out of their way to be kind or supportive to me have been men. The girls I date or interract with treat me like garbage, and so I'm starting to think I should just spend my time with my male friends instead. But sure, we'll blame all that on misogyny lol. Classic woman, allergic to accountability and quick to belittle.

[@outlaster3431]

Male mental health gets ignored generally but for loneliness the reason why it got more attention than female loneliness was the idea that male loneliness stems from men's lack of vulnerability, no emotional support and lack of friendships which was not only used to shit on men but to give reason to why women don't feel as lonely and are living more fulfilled lives but now that it's becoming more common, people are making it sound like it's something they went out of their way to ignore and not that it's because people believed that proper emotional regulation and friendships could prevent loneliness and since women were allegedly better at it they are by default less at risk , no one is to blame , just an observation Edit : i still feel empathy for them and its not a zero sum game we should support all but the idea that we simply overlooked it isnt really true it was due to situation

Thanks for this video! I'm older, in my 60's, and it's always been difficult for men and women to find someone that will take the time and effort to learn about one another and come to really care for one another. There is so much pressure to get to the next level of the relationship, and it's all about getting married, having a family, and moving on. I didn't want to move that fast, wanting to be friends first and maybe something else will grow. But that has meant that I never found anyone. That has taught me, though, that not being in a relationship is much less painful than being in a bad one. These days, it's horrific, what young people are going through, with unbelievable pressure to be perfect all the time. It's invading their every waking hour. As bad as it was for me, it's a 1000x worse now. This has to stop. Thank you for illustrating that so beautifully!

I would need to find the study and survey, while male suicide rates are indeed higher this is also due to them being more successful and thus reported; within the same demographics (I believe is was something like 18 - 35 year olds in the U.S.), women actually attempt suicide at a higher rate than their male counterparts however they fail to follow through more often and in turn give themselves more opportunities to seek help in whatever form they need it in. Regardless recognition for the struggles everyone faces needs to be recognized, understood with empathy and remedied in the best way possible.

Thank you. This isn't a war between genders. I've been ridiculed all my life for having acne, had no boyfriend and no friends, yet boys on the internet tell me to quit complaining because "at least I'm a female". Why can't we support each other? The world is a mess as it is already.

[@-SteampunkTraveler-]

REAL!!

[@drewlevy9557]

everyone has acne. we can't support each other because women pushed men through the cracks and need to be the ones to extend the hand. I already made a whole paragraph why, but its easy to overlook your advantages. The only reason anyone cares about the male loneliness epidemic is because its making men check out of society and so aren't producing and consuming. Its also blamed on men for any random reason like listening to rap or playing video games, among other "reasons". Sure its shallow but you are seen as valuable regardless like an art piece where men are machines who lose purpose on breaking down. That's why there's a compliment gap, women will just get compliments, sure on shallow things but a man remembers those like treasures where the only compliments I've gotten in the last 10 years were dependent on how well I did something. You need to be a soft place for men if you want to change these things. Honestly just start humanizing us again.

​@@drewlevy9557 One remembers compliments until one realises they're just as hollow and meaningless as everything else people say when they're trying to get something out of you.

You may have a billion different options, but no person can substitute the person you love most, and if you can't find them, regardless of how many other people are out there, you're going to feel that loneliness in the deepest part of your very being.

[@marcusbourchier2245]

​@@r-giireactions2235 Well, in that case this female loneliness epidemic is a self-made problem then, isn't it. If women want a specific type of fairytale knight to sweep them off their feet and choose to reject "lesser" candidates, that's on them. Not every woman can have that top 1% high value man. I'm pretty sure men will on average "settle" (bad word here but I hope you know what I mean) for much less than women will. That's why many men get rejected - in the eyes of women they're simply not "good enough". This leads to men being lonely and women too, since most women aren't "good enough" either in the eyes of high value men. It doesn't help that women perceive average looking men as looking very much below average (there have even been studies conducted on that topic). Edit: Which is not something that women are at fault, btw. It's simply something that's encoded in their way of thinking and perceiving men.

I'm a guy but same also the pfp. Yuri!!!!! Unfortunately I feel men are usually more lonely. My reasoning is men are different and stay quiet about their feelings. Many times they are told to be a man dont show emotion. Due to this they (myself included) can feel isolated and cut off. Almost excluded from being allowed to express their feelings and emotions. Maybe I'm completely wrong here but I still wanted to give my 2 cents. Maybe this is why no girl has really showed interest in me. But to all the women out there that are going through a time of loneliness. I hope all goes well for you and hope these feelings can end rather quickly with a few changes in life :)

Communication is the key. This is something that took me years to understand but also to master. We are alone and isolated because we can't communicate so we can't build bridges, close the gap and develop lasting friendships or romantic relationships.

Life is already a hard experience but it doesn't need to be an isolated and lonely experience. There is always someone out there that will be more than happy to share this experience with others, you just need to find them.

You can try talking about things you did in class and after that you can ask her if she wants to be your friend because you saw her being lonely and you think she's a nice person and gives you good vibes

[@233kosta]

​@@yuriality5 I wouldn't justify wanting to be someone's friend in any way shape or form. "I want to be your friend" - end of. If you try to qualify that in any way other than "I like you as a person", it will always feel hollow to the other person.

She probably has been made to feel so insecure that she doubts that you actually have good intentions and want to be her friend. Maybe instead of just saying "hi" make a grander gesture like invite her to sit with you at lunch or hang out after school, and don't be too put off if she is awkward or even unfriendly/guarded at first, because she might think you are just doing it as a prank or something, since other kids can truly be awful to unpopular kids.

Personally, I think that the best way to start making friends with a socially-anxious person is to just smile and say 'Hi' to them when you see them. Some shy people get uncomfortable with big friendly gestures, especially if they don't know you yet, so I advise starting off by simply acknowledging them positively in small ways over a long period of time. Start with smiling at them and saying short sentences they don't have to answer to if they don't want to. Things like "I like your shirt" "It's hot today." "See you around" . Showing that you just see and acknowledge someone over a long period of time can make a big difference, and they might slowly become comfortable with talking more.

I’m a woman who’s experienced multiple abortions and who supports women and men trying to heal after abortion. My experience is that shame and guilt cause us to hide and isolate, leading to crippling loneliness. We’re convinced no one would understand and we’d be condemned and rejected. You’re not alone! There’s hope, healing and people to support your healing journey.

[@estheradao]

There's no shame to feel, no burden to bear, trust that you're not alone on your journey and that you're not the same person you used to be. Everyone deserves a second chance. I'll pray for your healing.❤❤

I wish my parents aborted me.

Condoms are free, just in case you didn't know.

[@MeidoInHebun]

You can also just get your tubes tied for free in most countries, in case you cannot stop yourself from having unprotected sex all the time.

I've always been a lonely girl. It's hard for me to find friends, even more to keep them, so sometimes I feel a little isolated, specially because my family is disgregated (only have my parents and aunt). Hugs for every woman who feels alone too ❤

I think there’s a lot that can be attributed to the internet. With everyone sharing their experiences nowadays and everyone having access to them, it’s easy to fall down anxiety rabbit holes when you see the relationship horror stories people have gone through. If you were already nervous about talking to someone, seeing a dozen or so stories reinforcing your fears, even if they’re in the minority, can make it hard to leave your bubble, for men and women. I think we’re all more conscious of how each gender can potentially manipulate or abuse the other, so more people are on the defensive, and either self isolate or scare off people who might be interested in them, perpetuating the loneliness cycle.

Why people gotta start a war on who's the loneliest. Both genders have toxic execations, but we all can still act despite of them. We should stop blaming each other for our loneliness and act to solve it

[@Jamhael1]

Easier said then done...

[@susannaseveroni4489]

@Jamhael1 maybe... but one can start by realising that everyone's in control of their own life, and that men accusing women and women accusing men only leads to further social gaps. Feeling frustration after bad experiences is normal, but we shouldn't let that feeling turn into generalisations

[@Jamhael1]

@susannaseveroni4489 easier said then done - men are avoiding relationships because women had become so INSUFFERABLE that they see any attempt of dating will never move forward, and the sheer number of advantages women had received in education, academics and work, combined with a gigantic political hobby that DEMAND that women must grow AT THE EXPENSE OF MEN by demonizing "masculinity" as some kind of pathological disease, a complete opposition to ANY program that merely hints in helping men's s*icId€ pandemic, and the fact that the situation os men's loneliness is EARLIER than women's by YEARS, only shows that a growing number of 3rd Wave Feminism activists and lobbyists are nothing more then clinically diagnosed narcisists - and I call them that because the main characteristic of narcisists in positions of power is that they DO NOT solve the main problem they promissed they would solve, but in fact they WANT the problem to exist so they can justify their permanence in a position of power.
