Loneliness in a "Connected" World

from Two Old Sexperts: Talking Sexuality & Disabilities · host Shawn McGill

Loneliness can feel different when you live with a disability—and it’s something we don’t often talk about openly. This episode dives into what that loneliness can look like, from social isolation and inaccessible spaces to the quiet ache of feeling misunderstood or left out. We explore how disability, identity, and community overlap, and why loneliness isn’t a personal shortcoming but often a systemic issue. Through real stories, reflection, and practical insights, the conversation makes room for grief, anger, hope, and connection. Whether you’re disabled, care about someone who is, or want to better understand, this episode encourages listening with empathy and curiosity. You’re not alone—and you shouldn’t have to face loneliness on your own.
