Loneliness In Big Cities?
Why are the most lonely people on this planet found in BIG cities like New York or Chicago, etc?
“Statistics proves that the amount of lonely people is higher in big cities: the life in a megalopolis separates people. It is a well-known fact that majority of megalopolis citizens are migrants from other parts of the country; there are just few natives who live in megalopolises from generation to generation.”
“Paradoxically, loneliness frequently occurs in heavily populated cities; in these cities many people feel utterly alone and cut off, even when surrounded by throngs of other people. They experience a loss of identifiable community in an anonymous crowd. It is unclear whether loneliness is a condition aggravated by high population density itself, or simply part of the human condition brought on by this social milieu.” (Wikipedia on Loneliness)
