RE: UK Government Appoints "Minister For Loneliness" - #NewWorldNextWeek
The UK is the most depressing place I have ever visited or seen, and when I say depressing I mean, like something is very wrong with the frequency there, makes you feel unhappy and lost.
even when you are working a full time job, by the end of the day you are thinking what am i supposed to do now except for pubs and drink myself to sleep!!
Did you go anywhere outside London? I don't think there's anything wrong with the frequency in this part of the UK for example (see pic below).
When I'm out walking I always seem to meet friendly people – if I'm not already accompanied by them! There's loads to do even in the foulest weather if you're into indoor climbing for example. Or music. Or... I could name a hundred other low-cost social activities.
Certainly speaking personally the only time I've ever felt lonely in the UK is when I worked in London, as I couldn't afford to go out and meet people and getting out of town was a major hassle - although even then I joined a cycling group, which helped me get out of town occasionally and helped me meet people.
