Loneliness Can Kill #shorts

Studies have shown that loneliness can be extremely detrimental to our health. Posing a higher health risk than smoking, loneliness can lead to inflammation and a host of other precursors to disease.

And we know that loneliness does not only result from being alone; even those who live with others can feel lonely and isolated, meaning the quality of our relationships is extremely important to our health.

While it might seem intimidating to branch out of loneliness, it can do wonders for your health, attitude, and mindset. Call up someone you’ve been meaning to hang out with, join a local book club, a hiking group, or an exercise class.

Above all else, guard your heart & mind. The pain of a lonely heart is physical for sure, literally the heart aching. Very good teachings for health. Thank you!

I live alone, I lost my husband 24 years ago. It was the worst time of my life. But I have a relationship with Jesus. I am never ever alone. He is the only way I made it through the grief and loss of my husband. I also have two children who at that time were leaving the nest but now 24 years later are married and have children and they're all quite busy but we spend at least one day a month together, more often if there are soccer games or concerts that the kids are involved in. I also have friends that I socialize with but I prefer to be alone and I never feel lonely. In fact most social interaction drains me. And I am more energized by being home alone. I am an ambivert which is a combination of an introvert and an extrovert. If I've been out for 4 or five hours with my family or friends I know it's going to take at least two days to recover both physically, mentally and spiritually.

I believe this to be true but it also depends on who you're friends with. Choose wisely 😉.

I am not lonely now becus i have my parents to look after and my children that i can always love and when they with me, i can always hug them and vice versa, my daughters are in univ now, but when they come bac home during holidays, we sleep on one bed or in one bedroom & hug each other till we sleep, that feeling of happiness is what money cannot buy… i miss them every seconds of my life … ❤❤❤

It all depends what do you mean by "loneliness". I live by myself but I don't feel lonely. Some people I know have a partner and are VERY lonely or stressed out. Not all relationships are beneficial. I am very happy being single. I work full time and I have social contact with my kids, my extended family and coworkers. That is more than enough for me. I LOVE and cherish my freedom and living this way! ☺

For me there is a big difference between loneliness and being a loner... I enjoy being alone and have so all my life. Yes I have friends and associates I see but it's not EVERY day.. Works for me...YMMV

I am a short man with an ugly face, and I experience deep loneliness. I am fortunate that I still have hobbies that help me.

We Are In Control of ourselves. We Can be alone and it is OK! Control YOU! Do NOT Wait for ANYONE to "make You

I Like being alone & prefer it to being around anyone. I've always been able to be totally absorbed in whatever I decide to do that interests me though & I have countless interests that I persue all the time. I do like to be sociable & socialise occasionally, but I do prefer to be by myself. I can't say that I've ever experienced the feeling of 'loneliness' though.

What about people like David Proenneke? There are many hermits and people throughout history who have thrived when alone.

I think belief of what makes us happy play a larger role..

[ceceliamanalim]

I agree that being lonely is really bad for the human’s health but if we do not giveup what is good of doing in the middle of the way God our great creator will provide 🙏
