Hi! I'm a journalist writing a personal essay for Cosmopolitan that details my experiences as a well-adjusted 21-year-old with no real friends in NYC. I need a licensed psychologist source who could talk about the "female loneliness epidemic" as opposed to the oft-discussed male now these days, why women living normal lives (with boyfriends, steady jobs, good incomes, etc) struggle making friends in today's world, why this is happening now, and how women's experiences of loneliness/isolation/friendlessness differ from those of men.
