We are experiencing epidemic loneliness
00:00:03
in this country and it is
00:00:06
in all honesty I have to say my son is
00:00:10
uh one of the guests on our show too and
00:00:12
it was that we talked a lot about
00:00:13
loneliness. He's like the third episode
00:00:15
or something like that. And I thought,
00:00:17
"Oh, this is he" He even said and the
00:00:19
girl who was on with him were like, "You
00:00:20
feel like a weirdo saying, I feel
00:00:22
lonely, like nobody likes me. You feel
00:00:24
like a loser, right?"
00:00:26
>> But that's not actually the case. what I
00:00:28
have seen, and I say this to him all the
00:00:30
time. I go, "It's really funny that you
00:00:31
were that episode cuz I talked to so
00:00:34
many young people and one of the
00:00:36
underlying feelings of almost every
00:00:38
single young person that I talk to is a
00:00:41
feeling of loneliness, a feeling of,
00:00:43
like you said, not having someone there
00:00:45
who wants to listen." And that's not
00:00:47
actually
