The article Different kinds of loneliness by Emma Young was very interesting to me because I never thought of loneliness as something that could be put into more than one group. These four groups are indicated as low loneliness, social loneliness, emotional loneliness, and the fourth class of social and emotional loneliness. This article showed that the quality of relationships is very important to a person’s mental health. I liked that this article was very insightful, descriptive, and the article caught my attention as soon as I read the title. This the article mentions that “20% of adults report being moderately or severely lonely” and that “the combination of social and emotional loneliness is associated with the poorest mental health status”. This reveals how important a person’s mental health can really be.
