This research was conducted with “How young adults perceive loneliness” as the main motive in mind. It focuses on how a particular group of college students (randomly selected) feel and deal with loneliness. This paper also looks into the factors that might affect loneliness in youth and also tries to mention various solutions that might help reduce the impact of loneliness. For this study, the questionnaire method was employed and 40 of them was distributed to 40 subjects that included both males and females belonging to various backgrounds and opting various degrees at Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India. The main findings that the researchers obtained after the study are that when compared according to age, there was not a particular pattern that loneliness followed. It could be different for different age groups. While when compared on the basis of gender, females of all ages (18-22) showed higher sense of loneliness when compared to their male counterparts. Therefore, all in all it was found that despite being in social situations or relationships, loneliness is a subjective sensation of feeling distant or alone. It is a complicated emotional condition that is influenced by a variety of things, such as cultural standards, social isolation, and a lack of social support. Self-report measures are frequently used to measure perceived loneliness, which is the individual's perception of their own loneliness. Even though experiencing loneliness from time to time can be common and transient, persistent loneliness can have detrimental effects on one's mental and physical health, increasing one's risk for depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. Individual and community actions are needed to combat loneliness, including promoting social connections, creating supportive communities, and eradicating the stigma associated with mental illness.
