the loneliness index

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kawasaki, 2020.04.11

It's now been two weeks since I had a face-to-face conversation with anyone. And I just had my first pang of loneliness. Is there a name for the "how long 'til you're lonely" index? "Cabin fever index" perhaps?

It's crossed my mind that I have an aunt that I believe does this all the time without reporting loneliness.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
