According to a recent poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute, women under 35 tend to express greater feelings of loneliness than other age groups, despite having social lives.
The poll, which surveyed more than 2,000 Canadians, found that six in 10 young women sometimes or often wish they had someone to talk to, but don’t. This is a jump from men of the same age, as four in 10 report similar feelings.
What’s important to note is the poll found that young women are also much more likely to feel alone — even when they’re with other people.

Peters posits that patriarchal spaces, such as corporate business, discourage both men and women from expressing emotion — a vulnerability required to create new friendships.
“Maybe, as traditionally male spheres absorb more women (thankfully), being emotional is shamed more frequently,” he said.
