The Atlantic recently published a feature about the loneliness epidemic that many Americans have fallen victim to — by our own doing in many cases. But what if there was a way back in to a healthier social life, one where the phone takes a back seat to meaningful friendships and experiences? There may be, Blair Braverman writes, in “Can Outdoor Friendships Solve the Loneliness Epidemic?” for @outside:

Outside Online · Can Outdoor Friendships Solve the Loneliness Epidemic?By Blair Braverman

“In solitary confinement, many prisoners suffer from mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar, and psychosis that are exacerbated by prolonged isolation.

The Texas Observer · An Inside Look at Taser Use in Texas PrisonThe sound of electricity sizzling and crackling broke the silence. To me, it looked like the electric chair was officially back in the prisons.

If you are, have ever been, or know someone, who are struggling with loneliness, do you have any thoughts on what could possibly make you/them want to go out?

Could be any activity (within reason) that can be advertised as open to everyone in the local community. Examples are culinary group, philosophy café, boardgame nights, book club, science café, a group that goes for walks together.. Would love other suggestions as well.
