Honestly, the number of lonely people is probably far greater than you can imagine. I remember reading a statistic from a local male suicide prevention group that said a third of all men have no close friends either nearby or at all. Include people with friends that are still feeling lonely, and obviously other genders, and you're easily looking at most people being lonely.

Many of my close friends moved away for work, and I'll be doing the same soon. Most of them don't even know that I have a child now, let alone regularly speak. It's quite sad really, and it only seems to get worse when you get older.
