Being lonely is extremely bad for your health. If you’re lonely, you’re more likely to be put in a geriatric home at an earlier age than a similar person who isn’t lonely. You’re less likely to exercise. You’re more likely to be obese. You’re less likely to survive a serious operation and more likely to have hormonal imbalances. You are at greater risk of inflammation. Your memory may be worse. You are more likely to be depressed, to sleep badly, and to suffer dementia and general cognitive decline.

Loneliness doesn't cause all these things. Correlation is not causation.

Geriatric home sounds awesome, do I get internet there?
The rest are kind of inconclusive, except the memory part. But then again what do I need to remember if its all stored on my hard drive?

[Anonymous No.]

All of these things I'm fine with, or they're actually beneficial to me.

Go suck a twat, nerd.

In one experiment, Cacioppo looked for a connection between the loneliness of subjects and the relative frequency of their interactions via Facebook, chat rooms, online games, dating sites, and face-to-face contact. The results were unequivocal. “The greater the proportion of face-to-face interactions, the less lonely you are,” he says. “The greater the proportion of online interactions, the lonelier you are.”

This. Loneliness itself does none of those things, neither does isolation. At least not directly. But it's like saying anime causes obesity.

It's studies like this that reinforce the popular idea that psychology and sociology exist just to quantify and prove common sense.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8853391
Most of it is indirect causation. For example, when you don't have friends or any other people whose expectations you have to meet, you care less about staying at a healthy weight, increasing chances of obesity.

>>8853381
Everything you say is true...but I think trading all that for the freedom of not being restricted by other people is definitely worth it. Health doesn't mean anything if the life it supports isn't worth it.

That doesn't mean you get to overlook the correlation.

>If you’re lonely, you’re more likely to be put in a geriatric home at an earlier age than a similar person who isn’t lonely.
If a lonely person was liked by their family they might not be lonely. But if they're lonely they probably aren't and that family would chuck them in a geriatric home at the first chance rather than keeping it in the family.
>You’re less likely to survive a serious operation and more likely to have hormonal imbalances. You are at greater risk of inflammation.
All these things can be linked to health and exercise, and "exercise" is often something you do with other people, because it's often a group hobby like a sport that gives you "exercise." People doing these things in groups are unlikely to be lonely.
>You are more likely to be depressed
Lonely people are more likely to be depressed? Isn't loneliness by definition a type of sadness? Do you need a study for this?
>and to suffer dementia and general cognitive decline.
People don't like people with dementia and general cognitive decline.

Or maybe obese people are generally frowned upon and unpopular, driving them to be lonely. Imagine that.

Oh boy.

It's not like I'm lonely because I want to be....

I wish I had a friend to talk to in real life again. I can't even talk to my family because they hate me.

Yeah right, as if I can't check the time stamp in filename to see how long you've been here. Not
There's only one alice fag from 2009 that I can think of, and you're obviously not him. You're so blatant that I can still remember your first image dump thread from months ago and how I told you to fuck off.

That doesn't mean anything. You might have saved it from /b/, where I hear there's another Alice rp tripfag, and there isn't any /b/ archive to check view same. Or /tc/, but I can't be assed to visit that circlejerking site.

It seems to be that if there is causality it might go the other way around. Eg. P(Obese|Lonely)<P(Lonely|Obese).

It's probably not the well-known "Alice from /a/" because that Alice stutters and doesn't make threads like these too often.

I'm pretty sure they're different people. Both of them have denied they were the other in both /a/ and /b/ (and the one who visited us claimed to be the one from /b/).

I don't know if either of them are active anymore.

There's a difference between being alone and being lonely.

I've never felt lonely in my life. I have no friends and never leave my room, never felt bad about it.

However I do suffer from boredom.

[Anonymous No.]

what if i like being lonely? then what.

oh that's right, i made friends with loneliness so i don't give a fuck.

I know a 70 year old who lives alone and i smoked a joint with him and my friend once on an apartment rooftop.

Fuck off with this loneliness bs, and we can't tell the future, a lot of people will most likely meet somebody.

I'm not lonely, I have /jp/.

I don't feel "lonely" as such, but I get kind of curious about interpersonal relationships. I will be watching an anime or a TV show, and while two characters are talking I'll think, "I wonder what conversations are like. It's kind of neat how people can just talk to each other and say things and the other will react, all in real-time."

Of course I do speak to my family, but that's all transactional and irritating and different.

Being alone is great for your mental health assuming you actually want to be alone and aren't alone as a last resort.
