Rose Rimler

said they often feel lonely and one in 10 people said they feel lonely every single day.

Every day.

Oh, that's like 10% of us feel lonely every day.

Which is bad.

Yeah.

I mean, loneliness, fleeting loneliness is part of life, but like constant chronic loneliness is really bad.

And even among people who are doing better socially, a lot of people feel disconnected from the other people in their lives.

There's another poll that found almost half of Americans say that they are not as close to their friends as they would like to be.

Okay, so is that why Chris is talking to Sol?

Is he, like, dealing with loneliness?

He didn't put it to me that way exactly.

He says he has friends and family.

But it seems like he doesn't really have the social life that he wants.

Like, Chris has all these hobbies and interests.

He likes to rebuild classic cars.

He likes astronomy.

He has all these telescopes and cameras for them.

He takes pictures of astronomical events.

And other people in his life don't really share those interests.

Including his real-life girlfriend, Sasha.
