Loneliness Affects Young Women

Young women suffer most from loneliness, according to a report from the Swedish National Institute of Public Health.

The institute says young women run a higher risk of suffering from anxiety and psychological illnesses. In the survey, more than 73,000 Swedes were asked about their social activities and how many friends and relatives they have.

Per Carlson, a researcher at the Swedish National Institute of Public Health, told Swedish Radio news that young women are not more lonely than other groups, it’s just that they are the ones who suffer more serious psychological illnesses from being alone, compared, for example, with older men.

In the group of young women between the ages of 16 and 20, every third woman says she has some type of anxiety, depression or worry. Only one in six young men reported the same problem and in the age group of men over 65 years old, only one in ten were suffering from psychological illnesses.

The worst affected are women with poor finances and who have immigrated to Sweden from outside Europe. Those who seem to feel really well are older Swedish-born men with a good income.

- I’m a Swedish man, although not a particularly old one and my income is not that very impressive, but I’d like to say I’ve saved many girls from the awful fate of loneliness.

Slow down, Kee mo sabi. The article said it was mostly women not from Sweden, which might mean you are sharing the hot tub with a lonely female in a Burkini. ;-)

- That’s right, Fellow Freeper,

Guys like me simply can’t handle all of these babes by ourselves!

Right. It's going to take a group of us, working in shifts to pull this off.

- At least, you don’t seem to lack good intentions.

Probably, you pity these lonely, young girls just like I do..

And that my friends is why young men get extra time off from Purgatory.

That explains it.
