Loneliness Isn’t a Flaw: A Psychologist Explains the Signal Most Men Ignore

Описание: I recorded an episode this week that stayed with me long after we stopped recording.

I sat down with James K. Ellis, a clinical psychologist known as The Loneliness Doctor, and we talked about something a lot of men feel but rarely say out loud — that quiet, gnawing sense of not quite fitting, even when life looks fine from the outside.

One of the biggest shifts from this conversation was realising that loneliness isn’t a personal failure. It’s not proof that you’re broken. It’s a signal — information your system is giving you about connection, meaning, and how your life is actually structured right now.

We talk about why you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely, why friendships get harder for men as adults, and why connection isn’t dependency — it’s humanity.

If you’ve ever felt that deep, quiet ache… this conversation will land.

You’ll leave feeling less broken, more grounded, and clearer on how to build real connection as an adult.

🎙️ Meet James K. Ellis — a clinical psychologist focused on modern loneliness, helping people build real connection without shame, fluff, or quick fixes.
