I have to totally agree: life in America is very lonely. I'll be honest: I'm a lonely person. Sure, I go out with friends in the week, work, to to the health club, etc. But still I'm essentially alone in my life. I don't know what the solution is to this problem. I think modern society tends to isolate people: if you're single you spend most of your non-working time sequestered in your flat. In a way it's an isolation chamber...you sit in it and watch TV...surf the web...send email...and it sucks. Being lonely sucks. I just googled “lonely Americans” and came across this posting.
