[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of this also has to do with unrealistic expectations that someone else will solve your problems. I can imagine it's mostly women. I've never heard old men complain of loneliness. My elderly mom is also lonely, and yes, she struggles making connections. At least in her case it's years of negativity and her being critical, pretty much alienating everyone around her. And of course in the end she thinks her adult kids will still stick around because, well, because?! And nowadays adult kids don't, because the cultural demands of putting up with your demanding and critical parents is not there any more. If you have to commit a crime to avoid loneliness, what kind of person have you been all your life?! Just looked up the article, and yes, it's about the elderly women. [/quote]
