A Reader Responds:
Loneliness Is Real
I disagree. Loneliness is real.
Some people are more alone than others--to deny this fact
of life is profoundly ignorant; moreover, the pop-psychological
willingness to deny that loneliness exists as a phenomenon
might not be amenable to psychopharmacological intervention.
Drugs will mask the problem, but they won't make it go
away.
KP's Statement Was Patronizing
Assuming that this person can meet someone suitable, then
I agree that her "state of mind" would be altered
by having taken charge of her situation in this manner,
but otherwise the statement is platitudinous, and therefore
patronizing.
