Almost all of us have experienced loneliness at some point. It is the pain we have felt following a breakup, perhaps the loss of a loved one, or a move away from home. We are vulnerable to feeling lonely at any point in our lives.Loneliness is commonly used to describe a negative emotional state experienced when there is a difference between the relationships one wishes to have and those one perceives one has.The unpleasant feelings of loneliness are subjective; researchers have found loneliness is not about the amount of time one spends with other people or alone. It is related more to quality of relationships, rather than quantity. A lonely person feels that he or she is not understood by others, and may not think they hold meaningful relationships.Researchers have found social isolation is a risk factor for disease and premature death. Findings from a recent review of multiple studies indicated that a lack of social connection poses a similar risk of early death to physical indicators such as obesity.Loneliness is a risk factor for many physical health difficulties, from fragmented sleep and dementia to lower cardiovascular output.Some individuals may also be biologically vulnerable to feeling lonely. Evidence from twin studies found that loneliness may be partly heritable.

Loneliness is pre shit fam. I Got some nasty panic attacks (indiectly) from that shit a little while ago. Good news is I'm more in touch with old friends now because I really don't want to melt down again.
>loneliness is bad for sleep>lonliness makes you ill>lonliness is badI guess I'm the odd one out, then.
Old friends saved you from new friends?

Solitude =/= loneliness tbh fam, People who want to be around others don't enjoy solitude as much. I think the article could be worded better. Quote from: Elegiac on November 10, 2015, 12:31:11 AMOld friends saved you from new friends? Well, having minimal social interaction took a bit of a toll on me after 2 years. I got introduced to some new friends too, through my old school mates tho.
