People 16+ - Loneliness Stories & Portraits - 15 Spots

I've just done a quick count - since mid 2023 I have talked in depth to a total of 85 people about loneliness. I've learned so much and more importantly, connected with so many amazing people. The book ('On Loneliness') that I published last year with The School of Life contains 50 stories, but I decided before finishing it that I wanted to reach 100 people in total. I think by then I'll be able to say that I've done the subject justice! Can you help me find the last 15 people to participate in this project? As we're on LinkedIn, I'm open to hearing about loneliness in the workplace, the loneliness that sometimes comes with freelancing or remote working - but equally, I'd love to hear from older people, teenagers etc - really anyone who might be willing to talk about what loneliness means to them, and have their portrait taken by me. My aim is to normalise talking about loneliness, one story at a time. PS this is a lovely woman called Becs who I chatted to about the loneliness of not having children. You can find her story in the book.
