The Dual Nature of Loneliness and Health Issues
Recent research has challenged the long-held belief that loneliness directly causes health problems, suggesting a potential reverse relationship. The findings indicate that individuals suffering from health issues may tend to isolate themselves due to feelings of being unfit as social partners. This insight aligns with the idea that social behavior reflects underlying mating instincts, where those who feel healthy desire social interaction, while those in poor health withdraw. The speaker highlights that this behavior is observable in animals, who also tend to separate themselves when sick, suggesting a deep-rooted biological response.
