According to research conducted by Sociologist Robert Weiss at the University of Michigan, loneliness is as common as the common flue. Eleven percent of adults in America experienced severe loneliness in preceding days. What is even more saddening is the number of people who are ashamed to talk about these feelings or seek help. Part of the problem is that the American culture praises those who are independent and views those who are lonely as being inadequate or problematic. Most people take a very passive approach to making friends. They make friends with those people who happen to be in their life: co-workers, neighbors, and friends of the family. Then a sudden change of life style occurs and their avenue for making friends and socializing is shattered. These changes in life style include divorce, retirement, widowed, career change, moving to a new city, empty nest syndrome and becoming a new parent. Looking for friends in all the right places will show you: The best and the worst places to meet friends How to easily meet friends if you're shy How to locate any activities club or organization The biggest mistakes lonely people make The positive impact that friends have on our health
