- U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy used to talk about loneliness as a public health crisis. Now he says it's an epidemic that urgently needs our attention. The World Health Organization agrees with him. Now as co-chair of its newly appointed Commission on Social Connections, Dr. Murthy has an even bigger platform from which to advocate for change, encouraging us to reach out and ask for help while also offering it to others who may need it. He joins The Excerpt to talk about why this problem is so persistent and what we can do to fix it.

There are so many lonely people because in general, the population is selfish and don't give a crap about anyone else but the few people they choose to surround themselves with.
And usually the people they choose to surround themselves with are people they think can do something for them- so usual a romantic partner and a handful of people from work that they think are good to keep around to level up, or people they think look good for them to be associated with.
They should talk about the "Epidemic of Narcissism". Maybe that's why a lot of people are lonely. It might be because people don't care to engage in toxic and dysfunctional dynamics with other people.
@mightytaiger3000 co workers wont last long, as soon as you or your coworker move on or are laid off. It still selfish to wana just surround your self with like minded people and not people who are different from you and challenge your think and give you a better perspective on life

Agree
The worst thing is when a close relative invites you out to dinner and they spend all their time on the cellphone talking or texting someone.
Do the same. If you talk on the phone during dinner too, your relative will probably realise that this is unpleasant and impolite.
No, not hearing from a close relative at Christmas who lives only 3 miles away is much worse. I have NO plans for Christmas. I did go out alone today and hand out socks to people living under a bridge. This man talking makes me want to take up smoking again. It used to be something I enjoyed and looked forward to. Gave it up for my health and for social reasons but I NO LONGER CARE.
@@avalondreaming1433 Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you . Lucy , I am not a vengeful person . I think this is a matter of disrespect. Someone once told me " if they do not respect you they probably do not like you" . Thanks for the response.@@lucyfromsiberia
Ok, This is so sad , Any way, here@@avalondreaming1433 i am on christmas eve feeling sorry for myself, drinking beer and smoking cigarrets.
I feel like life just isn’t worth the effort. I do just enough to get by.
Life sucks
Balance work and fun.
Yep
well of course your life sucks, you ain't putting any effort in. you sound like gen z, i'll save feeling bad for the people who try and still end up lonely.
the most terrible when you are lonely among people😢
Many people will recognize the desperation and decide they have not the time to be kind.
choose better people. Problem solved.
@@TheRealBillBob better people are rare.
No they aren't at all. The problem is you. You attract the kind of people and behavior, you unconsciously think you deserve. The very fact you made your cry for help comment with the tear eyed emoji is evidence of that. Even if you won't admit it.@@mikewallace8087
@@mikewallace8087. Being lonely doesn't entitle you to be a jackass. That would be a spoiled sense of entitlement. Which is running rampant in america. But you already know that. Because I trust you know the difference between right and wrong 👍🤠🇺🇸
Surprisingly wholesome for the US government official. Sometimes they almost make it feel like they care.
I'm waiting for that kind call,.....
Right?
We’re going to have to stop women from being in the workforce and in serious society in general if we want to fix this but they aren’t going to go that far
Governments, in general, don’t wish that the people show signs of individuation of any kind. Choosing to be alone to reflect is a no-no. And ironically, maybe the lockdowns influenced people to advance their personal development.
Bible study class replaces loneliness with peace.
The only thing worse than BEING alone is WISHING you were. I am 63 and i enjoy being by myself and having my privacy. Ive paid my dues taking care of others. Im focusing on myself now. I answer to noone except the good Lord.
💯
Merry Christmas, my friend. 💛
I observe that the solitude is real bc people are avoiding other people and are feeling a need to isolate and reflect.
There’s nothing wrong with that…outside of my adult son I don’t want anyone depending on me and vice versa…I love the simple life
solitude is not a bad thing.
We’re also overworked
This all stems from women having agency and not being in the home but no one can see this
It is not a global problem, it occurs especially in developed countries
Usa Is no social life
I don’t know about the rest of the world, but I can tell you about how loneliness became a thing in the United States. Bad economic and trade policies forced millions of Americans over the decades to have to leave the towns and states where they have family in order to make a decent living because the jobs in their home towns and states dried up due to bad trade and economic policies. Also, decades of neglect to our infrastructure because rich people don’t want to pay taxes has made traveling by automobile an extremely dangerous and stressful experience to the point where people limit traveling to where their families live during the holidays. We have no high speed rail to make the journey less stressful and much less dangerous. Why? Rich people don’t want to pay taxes. They can afford to charter private jets. All this chit started with Reagan and continues to this day.
I'll admit..
I'm Lonely af!!😢
What have you done to change it?
Me too 😐

I’m sending you love today, my friend. 💛

Electronics have made people lonely and isolated
This. For me not quite the same sense. I can't stand all the draconian tech everywhere invading privacy, sovereignty, and freedom in the name of safety. I'll take pre 911 society any day over what we have now.
Nah, loneliness is not a new problem.
@@avalondreaming1433nah, he might have a point. Electronics give people an excuse to stay home, due to it being sufficiently entertaining. I mean, I enjoy playing games and watching UA-cam, but it’s not helping in the case of loneliness. I’m getting the feeling others may be right in thinking the internet is a bad thing. Though it may be just a tool, it’s also addictive.
I think that’s part of it but I’ve also thought that if we really are a species that needs apps to control your phone usage, and would rather watch strangers on the internet buying coffee and styling an outfit instead of engaging with the people we know…
Then perhaps we deserve the low birthrates and “loneliness”…
I mean, if we’re really going into this suicdе mission without a fight… then perhaps we don’t deserve to be here as a species.
@@JesseStrobelThere’s definitely something to that, but so many things can be addictive and at some point we have put a stop to it.
My mother is looking at her phone from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep- literally.
She would rather spend 5 hours on Ytube watching other people talk about pointless things than to engage with the people physically close to her about things that actually affect her.
She’s the first to interrupt others mid thought because she “has” to go look at something on the computer- and put the opinions of strangers over those of people she knows.
Not to mention she puts more effort in emotionally cheating on her husband by texting relentlessly with some dude from when she was in her 20s than to fix the bs in a marriage she had spent 23 years on.
She then complains that she is lonely and “family gatherings are not the same anymore”-
No sympathy for people like that.
People are snakes, and everyone is aware of it, therefore staying alone is their best bet period. corrupt from top to bottom and they are awake to what's what. It's what happens when the curtain falls and everyone can see each other for what they truly are.
When the curtain/veil falls and we see each other for what we truly are, we will be eternally, personally regretful we chose to see our fellow man (and one in spirit) as snakes. We are all one, it is all about love, and everything else is trying to sell you something. I’m sorry you’ve bought it. And I’m especially sorry you’re trying to spread it.
@@Ruby_Villain "We"? ..... you be one with them without me.
@@urwomansfantasy4163 that’s how it will be, yes. You don’t want to be part of it, you don’t have to, but the alternative is being alone.
@@Ruby_VillainYou’re an AI
Yep.
Majority of people are completely devoid of any code of behavior. It’s a free for all. Just whatever gets their primal needs satisfied.
I saw this a lot with people in social/networking groups.
The first ones to complain about lack of friends etc were the first to dismiss people over superficial matters, and the first to cancel plans and have to respect for anyone’s time.
"People don't want to engage anymore in toxic and dysfunctional dynamics with other people." This is me. I am tired to search happiness outside of me - all failed. So now I just want to find who I am myself, to achieve my real Self, to become one with the divine spark in me. The source of life is inside me, not outside me. The world is just my projection.
I spent my birthday by myself yesterday. Always have my whole life an not by choice . No one seems to care about the 23rd
Happy Birthday, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star!!! 💫 🙏🏾💜
Break up families and then cry about loneliness.
It all stems from women being allowed to make decisions that impact everyone else
Ummm ... breakup of families is gigantic - Ive taught teens for 30+ years - lack of stability/security creates loneliness...
Yet you people endorse the break up of families, by encouraging females to take no traditionally masculine roles. You also promote "multi-sexuality of your students. You are part of the problem.
When certain people are encouraged to.destroy the family and homes, and others unfairly lose, those losers learn, adapt, evolve. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.
Lack of stability/security stems from lack of job security, lack of wages and benefits.
I think part of the problem in the US is that family often live far apart due to job priorities
Or their family is dysfunctionsal! They have to cut ties.
This is all due to women having agency
@@user-sf4sj1in3s Exactly. If their family is toxic and dysfunctional then you must cut ties. People don't understand this nor do they see things from traumatized people's point of view so that's why we also cut ties with them, also. People lack understanding and compassion for one another.

Thanks Lord for your peace
@@chelseachelseafcsuperfan7220 Ah a brainlet always good seeing one of your kind here
At 67 years old I am listening to this with complete amazement. And another feeling that I can't really put into words.
The woke generation is totally fuggedtupp
Keeping families together is the answer. However, families are no longer important. It's the bag, the payout, the alimony, child support etc. So now there's a loneliness crisis. What'd you think was going to happen?
Reap what you sow.
Lonliness can also be in relationships. I see many couples who are so lonely with each other.
I try to make friends but no one reciprocates. I try to date but the men are self centered and they have such entitlement issues they stop contacting me after two or three dates. People are selfish and hard to trust
There's another side to it, men can become obsessed stalkers.
and women aren't? lol
“There’s a rugged individualism for the poor and Socialism for the rich” mlk
The love for another has gone cold.😊
SOLITUDE is priceless! No friends is better than a bunch of fake nice individuals, moochers, BS, backstabbers, traitors, etc. SO PEACEFUL and HAPPY to be ALONE!
Yes but those are extremes. It's possible to have connections to nontoxic people.
She must’ve been in a coma between 2019 and 2021 to call it a global epidemic.
...gee I wonder if telling people they'd die if they're near each other for about 3 years had anything to do with it...
'Loneliness' may be a result of modern liberism creating people most of us don't want to know or with which to interact. This is exacerbated by liberal media shutting down anyone who might have an opinion differing from theirs.
Y'all will blame 'liberism' for literally everything negative 😂😂🤡🤡 go outside ffs.
Leftist are generally insufferable unless you share their genetically based mental illness even then the bonds leftist form amongst one another are extremely fragile due to the severe mental instability. Its best just to not interact talk a round them. Kind of like training a small child that their attempts at interruption will not garner your attention.
It’s because we live in a disconnected society brother where everyone stares at their phones and don’t even make eye contact anymore. Smart phones, “social media” and the internet have played a huge part in this lonely culture. Liberals have nothing to do with it.
Why get to know your neighbor? They are likely to rat you out to the authorities. 😅
@@CGDubz87 As a liberal myself, he is right.
We make villains out of anyone with opposing viewpoints... kinda like what you just did.
You should be ashamed but I doubt you'll apologize. Nobody wants to be friends with that.

@@AC-re9ee I over commented. ✔️
I’m a 23 year old man, graduated college 18 months ago. I think I have a decent perspective of why so many people are lonely, young people specifically.
1. Cliquey-mess seems to be on the rise. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of intermingling between groups.
2. Social media has drastically warped our perspectives on what is normal/expected
3. Everything is too expensive. The term third space pops up a lot. Bars, coffee shops, sports leagues etc. are all way more expensive than they used to be.
4. 2-3 years of social isolation stunted a lot of us (COVID)
5. Some young people seem to have no hobbies aside from things they do at home alone. For me as an evample I joined a casual bowling league and I was the youngest by 6 years.
6. Media being so negative has made a lot of people very averse to talking to new people. A lot of people seem to have their guards up all the time.
7. On demand entertainment has reduced the amount of pop-culture people experience together, thus there are less opportunities to make connections based on shared experience. I don’t think there has been a TV show that had a major cultural impact in the US since Game of Thrones.
There are a lot more things I could get into but I’m tired of typing
I agree on the COVID isolation.
I'm 56 and #6 and #7 are spot on.
I completely agree. I’m a 23 year old finishing up my last year of college and something shifted since COVID to only worsen the loneliness. I also feel social media was a more harmful invention than helpful one
Bible study class replaces loneliness with peace. Thanks Lord for bible study class. Thanks Lord for salvation.
I became more lonely, its because I'm a victim of bullying and teasers at my place...
I am sorry this happened to you shame on those bullies 😢😔
as someone who has lived almost his entire life in loneliness... the surgeon general offers some good ideas that could slightly improve feelings of loneliness, but I don't think doing a little meditation in the morning or making a quick phone call to a friend is going to help someone overcome deep-seated and chronic loneliness. for that fundamental changes in your weekly or even daily schedule are necessary, perhaps a job change, starting a family, or joining a close-knit group or club. there is no mention of community in his responses. having a couple friends that you can turn to for advice is good, but feeling like you are part of a group or tribe is extremely important as well. I think the steeper drop has been in that kind of connections, rather than individual friendships. ultimately, solving loneliness is going to require a completely different approach for everyone and these quick-fix ideas are not sufficient. for example, he mentions not using the phone at the dinner table with his wife and kids, but he never mentions the importance of having a wife or kids to begin with.
Yeah the problem's roots are down all the way at the level of job, housing and healthcare security. For most people in America these things don't exist. We are always on the move, a fight or flight mindset is imposed on us for the sake of the Almighty Dollar.
This is a wonderful interview.
So needed.
Thank you!
Merry Christmas
Start by turning off the media, then you shall rid yourself of loneliness.

Destruction of Nuclear Families and Traditional Christian Family Values led to the Loneliness crises.
Started by women's lib, later re-named feminism. Also single moms who don't want a husband and father, only child support money.
It all stems from women’s empowerment. We have to take their agency and legal identity

Loneliness is partly because of expectation. It’s a feeling that others don’t understand you. I feel it’s better to figure out ways to relate instead of demand that it happens from their part. Find those things in common and stick to it.
In other words: accept just going through the motions and engage only superficially and out of self interest for the sake of having other bodies around.
Loneliness is a condition of unemployment . Unemployment is high .
No? Not in the United States, it’s at 3.4% the lowest it’s been in our nation history.
Loneliness happens to the richest of people 😂😂😂. Your a f'n 🤡
It's only unemployed because most fresh grads expects to make a 100k after graduation the truth is there's no job that will pay you that much right away not even doctors can make that much right away. Yes you can make 100k but it will increase over time from experience. It's their unrealistic expections that makes them lonely. Nothing is free in this world.

Think about all the poor and homeless that are lonely. Think about them.
We need the teletransporter. Scottie beam us up!! If only we can be physically in each others physical spaces.Covid damaged so many of us. But also social media. Lonliness is a very painful reality. Just sit in a restauraunt. Every one is on their cell phone. Lonliness shows how we must be connected to each other. We are social creatures.
Let 2024 be a year we rebuild our bonds and make new ones. 💛
Covid just kicked started this it has been a downwards spiral for awhile
I came from a country with frequent power outages that could stretch from a few hours to a couple of days. It's amazing as everyone knows each other as that down times bottlenecks into neighbor interactions. America is far too advanced to realize what factors lead to loneliness and isolation.
I don’t think it’s advanced so much as it’s full of do-gooders who are glued to their cellphones to the extent that they have become completely torn from reality. One can feel lonely while surrounded by people or family… the physical aspect isn’t the issue for most people, it is the psychological aspect. America is currently in a cold civil war.

Also a healthy relationship with JESUS will help immensely with your feelings of inadequacy. Which is why most people feel alone.
I don’t have many people in my life because my family ridiculed me for my belief in Christ the Christ of the word of God. I am old and do not trust people anymore they are users and abusers plus we are far apart on basic beliefs.

Life is what you make of it. There was a time I thought i needed a woman companion to be happy but after getting burned and hurt too often I realized I didn't need one after all.

I’m highly educated, have a solid, long-term career, a house, insurance, a fat retirement savings, etc., yet I can’t find a good woman to share it with. I have many faults, but overall I’m a good guy with a lot to offer. Despite what the good doctor said, I believe there truly is something wrong with me.
I mean, that’s possible, although just because there’s something wrong with you, doesn’t mean you can’t fix it.
But frankly men lack so much self awareness… the question is more.. do you WANT to fix it?
Have you ever gone to psychoanalysis therapy with all that financial stability you got?
Do you volunteer anywhere to be of service of others now that you have acquired wealth and don’t need to work every waking second?
You just mentioned material things you have to offer, that in itself is a red flag.
Then the “good woman” bit… I don’t even want to see what constitutes as a “good woman” according to you.
You didn’t say someone compatible with you or something… you said “a good woman” like that means anything.
Look at the statistics of what marriage means for women…
higher risk of being mrdered by their spouse than men have of being mrdered by their wife.
and even higher risk for women when they’re pregnant..
Look at all the husbands posting “humor” online about being emotionally incompetent in their marriage…
For men, marriage is a racket IF they get divorced.
For women it’s a racket until they divorce.
Look at the data.
Unmarried women 30+ up are the happiest demographic, while unmarried men are the saddest.
As much as you think you have to offer, women add more to men’s lives than viceversa.
Why don’t you volunteer at a woman’s shelter and start understanding women and what they go through.
Oh that could be a problem. I moved into my first 1 bedroom apt and live alone and quit smoking to do this, good to know, well i can't move out but i hear a pack of smokes calling my name, maybe I'll meet someone that could be a future friend🤗 😂 I'm not serious. Lonely isn't always curable and if there's a cure doesn't that mean I'm sick?
I had a lifelong friend who is out of my life now. She was constantly fact-checking everything I said by referring to her smartphone. Finally, it just was not worth it to get together. No human connection. Lonely after 60 years.

If you’re lonely, it’s because you don’t know yourself, use the time you have by yourself, to get to know you, you’ll find in most cases, their is no such thing as being lonely, being happy healthy and confident, will allow you to sit with yourself and not just be content, but happily content. Our happiness depends on us, and we shouldn’t be looking outside of ourselves to find joy, that’s the basics, if you can’t do that, don’t expect anyone else to do it for you. The first step is releasing traumas, fears, any negative energy, God said give it to him. Secondly allow yourself to love yourself, even when you error, it shows growth, and as you grow through working on you, you’ll see that loneliness is just an illusion created by a broken Spirit.
Maybe it's because we are tired of insensitive, arrogant people who have no idea who we are telling us what our problem is. Kinda like you.
Loneliness happens because you have a disconnect with people
Oh well. Maybe if women spent more time learning to please their men and building a family, instead always texting and posting selfies, they wouldn't look up and see all they have is their cats and dogs. 🙄🙄
Incel alert!
Very good conversation. Along with the things we as individuals can do, it's important to recognise that the rise of loneliness is largely a product of the erosion of social and communal connection. And this erosion has been caused by numerous big ticket political and economic factors such as the financialising of housing stock (forcing people out of the areas people grew up in). But yeah, positive to see these kinds of conversations.
How’s your previous reporting working out? Are we supposed to be learning something from terrorists?

Im a millennial and I feel people my age and younger are sooo weird. I Always try to reach out to people and be nice and 99% of the times it doesnt work. Ppl are lonely but social media gives the illusion of connection, ppl look at my stories and posts but they never want to hang out in person or chat. You can be nice with ppl and they may still hate u or not consider u a friend. They may hate u for the dumbest things, maybe they dont like your clothes, or the sports team you like. Ppl acting more and more like robots each day. I feel this is a generational thing bc I get along SO WELL with older people like 35 and above lol

Phenomenal segment-grateful for this smart and caring interviewer and interviewee! Thank you for the solutions! I feel hopeful we can do it! 💛
Change the divorce laws. Lower inflation.
Loneliness... social media often turns caring about other people into the same context as caring for a commercial. The pursuit of happiness has often turned the definition of life into two states of being, thus creating a social disposition such as, if it isn't happy, it should be avoided. We are an individualistic people, and becoming lost in the goal of individual preservation without honest self awarness, empathy, and compromise creates the alienation of those who would make one's self confront that reality.
Being there for someone during a time of need or emergency is not easy, but it is noble. Continuing to care for others in the face of betrayal is strength.
It is okay to feel lonely, and God is near to the broken heart. He comforts in a way specific to each person.
Jesus felt alone during a moment on the cross.

@AdorablePeach23 how does your reply reflect the subject matter of the psychological and social state of loneliness? It seems that you have found an identity from being abusive to other human beings.
I hope time and experience will enlighten your mindset.
Thank you, Dana for this video as we approach the holidays! I am going to share your exemplary interview with others!
I like being alone !!!!!!!
Being "alone" & experiencing "loneliness" are two entirely different things!
What you enjoy is solitude. Loneliness is something altogether different.
alone and in bad company
Of course it is, because of 'democracy' aka 'narcissocracy'.
We became like billionaires receiving connections from others that are not genuine
If you are lonely, when you are alone, … you are in bad company.
And if you are lonely, when you are in good company, you are a fool.
Or or or or or hear me out this may sound crazy but humans whether we like it or not are wired for connection
I chose to isolate myself after being stalked online by a third party turned present gf of my ex fiancee. I got depressed for awhile and got rid all people who became flying monkeys. I just live life on a day by day basis. I need to keep going because I still have dreams, i have goals... I'm just waiting... sometimes feeling impatient but I understand that it will come in perfect time.
You cant help others who are not willing to help themselves.
So yeah, maybe Im selfish for focusing on myself but I am also dragging myself to keep moving. If i will allow myself to stay in bed and loneliness take over, i can feel that in my body... like slowly deteriorate.
So fight for your right to live each day. You will be proud of yourself someday for not giving up.
See you on 2024, it will be a great ride once again❤ 🌎 😊🎉
Easier and more convenient communications technology gets, the less we want to speak to each other
I honestly try to talk to people and to be honest im tired of it. I make friends with strangers but people can't be bothered. It's the same thing in London England. In Dallas Texas they are a bit more friendly in San Diego California people seem happy. I now embrace it and felt comfortable during covid and I talk to God often and his son Jesus Christ. God is a good friend
USA TODAY, When I get up out of bed, I give thanks for my bed to sleep in I give thanks for all the people who created videos uploaded on UA-cam, I give thanks for my youngest brother who stays with me I feel love and care in my heart.
I am now 66 years and 3 months of earth years. I see people as God love a gift to each other for supported and help I am grateful and thankful I see all the many blessings in my life I grew up in church and it cause me to realize spirit of unseen God power in all people. With this insight and appreciation, I feel secure loved and heard thanks for your videos and Happy New year hope 2023 years was great to all who works at USA TODAY.
I saw a woman on a public bus just scrolling her smartphone and making likes or dislikes. I thought that that is not correct connecting.
There are a lot of things worst than loneliness which is an emotion that can be controlled unlike sickness or homelessness.
Lol you know nothing about mental health
Not true
@@indigoechos6796exactly
No leave me alone and get off my lawn. It’s not my fault you guys can’t handle being alone
Don’t believe this video , it’s only happening the most in America, ppl around the world don’t have the same family issues we have….if they do it’s not about her makes the most money , prolly a real reason
Today I was listening to bloggers from Sweden. They say that the loneliest people live in Sweden.
But in Russia, people really don't feel loneliness. I asked everyone I know. I'm the only Russian who feels lonely. The others socialize too much.
But people can’t connect because they are frightened
So. True.This is about being being kind.However don't forget about trust
.v v important.
I didn't give them the pleasure of listening to the video. I can almost guarantee they miss use, misinterpret loneliness and alone.
Who is lonely? lol, there are people here commenting, there are events, there is school, jobs, tinder and other platforms, there is church and other religious communities. How did they reached that conclusion?
agree. On what Frequency is that.........So family could come together without alter. End social distancing we don't know how People worldwide are mental impares after mass hysteria xperiment.
End women’s rights
The world desperately need Jesus ❤
Then nobody will never feel alone.
Dumbest comment in this thread
Take your religion and shove it 😂😂😂
That may be, but Jesus isn't going to take care of my dogs if I need to be hospitalized.
Bible study class replaces loneliness with peace. Peace in Christ surpasses all understanding. Thanks Lord for your peace
@@everythingmatters6308 sorry I misunderstood 😔
What a great input, much appreciated!
The way American cities are designed, where everything is a long drive from one place to another from home is the reason. Not a huge issue in Europe, womp womp, sounds like you need overtime if you have time to complain in the states.
How can I help the lonely?
