No one is immune to loneliness and especially in times as stressful as these but we have the power to change our situations.
Some of my friends and neighbors living in New York City have described it as a lonely place. Even though the city has a population of almost 9 million people, it can seem like you are alone in the ocean. I live in NYC and it did feel kind of lonely when I first arrived. I think it's in part because of the hustle and bustle. Everyone is in their own world. Plus, without a car it was much more difficult to connect with people in other boroughs. I live on City Island and while I know people who live in Manhattan or The Bronx, seeing them regularly took some real effort without access to a vehicle.
Reportedly, to create the lonely list, the US Chamber of Commerce analyzed Census data from more than 170 cities that have a population of at least 150,000 people.
Neither New York city landed in the top 5, so there's some good news there. The loneliest city goes to Washington, D.C. another city where I once lived.
