Lonely people are more likely to die early due to their immune system being weaker, a new study has found.

Maybe there is still time to fix it.

We are social animals. Lots of good chemicals go through the body during social activities. Partner to distress with. More active if sociable. Might eat better.

Indeed, although not just any type of social activity. It doesn't correlate fully to just being physically in the proximity of people.

You can feel v. lonely in a relationship or in a group if there's no connection.

That makes you more of a herd animal than a social one. Wallflowers at a dance are not socializing. It is more than just being around one other person or crowd you don't connect with.

How strange.
I have an Aunt who has been alone for 60+ years. She doesn't socialise and does no activities with other people. Has no children and lives alone in a farmhouse just outside Graz (Austria).
Her fave activities are walking in the forest, painting, and photography.
I have only met her once as she doesn't like visitors.
She has just turned 90.

Seems to me, her low-stress, lonely life is helping her live longer!

She's probably communing happily with the trees. She has company. Lots of them. That don't really say much. Just listen.

I guess this would be the only time I would tell somebody to "get fucked" because I really care about them.

Or that "you/I need to get laid" is a medical diagnosis.
