The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

NOTE

The Consequences of Isolated Lives

We tend to hold onto high school friendships through text messages and college friendships become increasingly distant over time. We form shallow connections through church or other activities, but as a result, end up feeling lonely and unfulfilled, despite excelling at work or in other areas of life. Our bodies inherently require a close-knit community for safety and wellbeing. Human physiology and neuroscience emphasize the need for a tribe or group for security and fulfillment. The speaker highlights the consequences of our increasingly isolated lives, leading to what some call 'long tail suicide.' The solution proposed is to take the initiative to connect and foster relationships, even if it means being perceived as 'weird' and being the first to reach out.
