Based on the results of theoretical and practical research on “Loneliness among young adults today"We draw some conclusions:

- Demographic factors have a low influence on the experience of loneliness; in particular, gender and whether or not one lives with family or friends have no impact on the level of loneliness experienced by young adults.

- People with healthy, active lifestyles have lower levels of loneliness.

- Of the five basic personality traits—troublesome, extroverted, open to experience, agreeable, and conscientious—the level of troubling and extroversion has a significant impact on feelings of loneliness among young Vietnamese adults.

- The relationships around us are the strongest influencing factor on each person's experience of loneliness. Vietnamese people in their 20s and 30s have the highest need for connecting with friends and increasing social relationships.

- People who prioritize material possessions and social status tend to experience higher levels of loneliness.

Loneliness is an emotional experience that has many negative impacts on health. Identifying the factors that influence loneliness levels can help people find ways to adjust their lifestyles to live happier lives. Developing healthy habits, sharing more with those around them, and reducing excessive ambitions can help young adults maintain a positive attitude and better connect with society, thereby reducing loneliness levels.

12. Future research directions:

If conditions and time permit, the research will further explore self-assessment abilities and the influence of socio-cultural factors on feelings of loneliness among young adults today. Additionally, the topic will expand the scope of research to include young adults' coping mechanisms for loneliness.
