'There may be subtle sex differences in sentiment and emotion in how older men and women describe feeling lonely in response to a direct question,' Lee told MailOnline. Very little, it could be argued. And men used more fearful and joyful words in their responses compared to women, suggesting that their experiences of negative and positive emotions were more extreme, or even that men can express these emotions more freely. The Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns have increased the amount of time people have been in solitude, making things worse. This applies to loneliness, which is not only on the rise, but likely a symptom of life in the increasingly individualistic and competitive 21st Century.
