Loneliness Is Like a Physical Assault
When we don't feel connected to others, the that feeling is not as stark. John cachiopo's research on loneliness shows that the elevation in stress hormones is the equivalent of a physical assault. Loneliness isn't mearly being proximate to people. Loneliness is how you feel about your relationships. And it's really about our internal states and our perception of the depth and meaning fulness of our relationships. We do need to deepen those connections, not just make those kind of casual, soft, easy connections.
