      All considered, we’re not as open or generous a people as we’ve persuaded ourselves we are. Particularly amongst our own.

      I fucking hate living here. Its fucking awful sometimes with loneliness and just a bleak outlook with zero hope.

      Suprise it’s not more

      A lot to do with social media and rising prices to hangout.
      Like if you want to meet your friends or make new friends where you even go?
      Work? Very look down upon making friends at work n stuff
      Go to a pub/bar/restaurant probably will cost you a lot
      Also social media gives us a false sense of friendship like I know so many people online but in real life the numbers decrease drastically.
      As a adult most of time is in working, cooking cleaning and few hobbies.
      It’s hard to make and meet friends or people especially as a adult

      I left school not speaking to any of my friends from secondary and not really close to much people in my hometown. Feel like an odd one out. Also find it hard to maintain friendships from university as everyone goes there separate ways. Trying to make friends as adult is hard as there isn’t always the time.

      As someone who spends alot of time alone it’s oddly comforting to know there are plenty of people in the same boat. It’s a shame we can’t find eachother.

      Yes, I agree. I’m a foreigner and I’m super lonely here. I have one Irish friend but I find hard to integrate and finding more friends.

      If you live in rural Ireland the two main social outlets are the parish church and the GAA.

      The Church is rightfully dead and the GAA only suits people who like GAA.

      I wish I could travel to Ireland. I’d rather be lonely able to check out my ancestral historical sites than being stuck in the Southwest US.

      1. There used to be three institutions where anyone could just turn up and be (broadly) welcome: The Church, political parties with mass participation, and the GAA. Only one of them remains a central pillar of Irish life in the same way.

      2. Fewer people are in relationships and that simply means more lonely people. Both at the time when you have no relationship but also when you’re older as you have no kids, no grandkids etc.

      3. There are fewer spaces where you can go and just be and have a chat. Far fewer interactions with strangers.

      I’d imagine a good amount of that is also because compared to a lot of countries we still have a very large rural population outside of the cities. Even in my remote parts of other countries houses are still built in small villages

      I can’t stand either but it was beyond foolish for us to have crushed christianity and then make pubs unaffordable, when we had no alternative source of community.

      Politics is all we have left to unify us now beyond locality. And its far better at dividing us.

      How sad is that?

      This is for all the lonely people
      Thinkin’ that life has passed them by
      Don’t give up until you drink from the silver cup
      And ride that highway in the sky
