re: The Loneliest Generation: Americans, More Than Ever, Are Aging Alone

I'll be one of those old people who dies, and ten years later they'll find my skeleton in my apartment, still in my chair with the t.v. on.

And just what generation are your parents????? If you're in your 20's, they're boomers.

False

Maybe they shouldn’t have married and divorced so easily if they wanted a lifetime partner. Latchkey kids everywhere remember.

I worry that someone will find my rotten decomposed corpse by the smell but that is the likely reality.

That's my dream

The plain and simple is that loneliness is a state of mind that can be controlled. Alone don't mean lonely for all. I thoroughly enjoy good times with good folks, but I am at my happiest in peaceful solitude away from drama and nonsense.

All I do is post on this website, play video games and watch pornography. It’s so depressing.

Look this is not totally bad. For one thing, the video games are better than ever. There's SO much info on the internet -- that's never been better.

AND Pornography? This is The Golden Age of Pornography. Porn is BETTER THAN EVER. You must take your Porn in moderation, though, sort of like gambling or any other vice. NO MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK, bro, or you'll ruin it.
