Until recently, loneliness was mainly attributed to older, isolated people. Today, this problem is clearly escalating among young people, it is more and more often heard that our civilization gives birth to lonely people. The development of new technologies that particularly disturb the functioning of the young generation is conducive to this phenomenon. The aim of the research, the results of which are presented in this study, was to show the phenomenon of loneliness in the light of the experience of academic youth. The analysis shows that young people signifi cantly experience loneliness and most often associate it with a sense of emptiness, lack of a loved one, or they feel it despite the presence of others.
