We’d like to understand more about whether weekend loneliness is on the rise among single people and especially in big cities where it can be harder to feel a sense of community.
Single people can find themselves dealing with loneliness during the weekend as their coupled up friends desert them to spend time with their other halves and their families. During the week, when busy with work and it’s often easier to meet up with friends but during the weekend, it may be much harder to find people to do things with.
We would love to hear from single people who are struggling with weekend loneliness and to find out how they’re dealing with it.
Share your experiences
We are interested in hearing in detail from single people who are busy during the week but coping with loneliness during the weekend. How does this make you feel? How does it affect you? How often do you spend weekends on your own? Do you feel abandoned by your friends at the weekend? Are you trying to use the time to make new ones? And if so, how are you doing this? Or are you accepting your weekend alone as time off to relax from a hectic week?
