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.

She lives in a nice apartment with her cat and suffers from depression and anxiety severe enough to require treatment.

That's a big red flag! No man in his right mind will marry that type of problem no matter how she got that way.

Your friend's situation is sad. But once she is happy with herself her marriage prospects will improve dramatically.

Old men are perfectly content to be left the H alone.

“The worst affected are women with poor finances and who have immigrated to Sweden from outside Europe.”

- Probably women form Eastern European countries and certain non-Muslim Asian countires (especially Thailand and Vietnam) who have been rejected by Swedish men who once made them immigrate to Sweden but later on grew tired of them.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Oddly enough, I have a picture of her which is similar to this. She was wearing jeans and a white pullover with white socks, and was holding a small camera to her eye. She is a little larger in the waist than the image and her breast are covered but they really do look like that. She even looks like her in the face.
