Support NeoGAF

[triplestation]

I just overheard someone saying this today and did a quick Google search and I'm not sure what to make of it. But apparently not being social can cause premature death.

 

[Princess Viola]

RIP me

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Oh well, I had a good run.

 

[Richie]

Plot Twist, NeoGAF is the afterlife.

[Vic]

[Baroquemantic]

Welp. Goodnight sweet me.

 

[GavinGT]

Well, yeah, it's not healthy to be unhappy.

Loneliness leads to unhappiness.
Unhappiness leads to stress.
Hate leads to suffering.

 

[Hjod]

I'm already dead.

 

[blame space]

loneliness owns

 

[JoeyJungle]

I believe it has a correlation with shorter life expectancy, but causation has not been established.

Of course. You never played sims?

 

[Strangelove77]

You're never lonely if you've got a florescent light.

 

[GamerJM]

I don't know but the way you found this out is kind of amusing. It reminds me of a time I overheard someone singing a song to themselves in class in high school and thought "No way, there can't be a song with lyrics this bad," and then I looked it up and it was a real hit song.

 

[SallyIsNow]

All these drugs and booze will counteract it tho

 

[jediyoshi]

Well, yeah, it's not healthy to be unhappy.

Loneliness leads to unhappiness.
Unhappiness leads to stress.
Hate leads to suffering.

Loneliness leads to wallscrolls.
Wallscrolls leads to happiness.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Its not uncommon for someones health to start to go after say a significant other passes away due to being lonely.

 

[Neo C.]

Everything that makes you sad for a long time can kill you.

That said, if you enjoy loneliness, it will rather extend your life, methinks.

 

[Hjod]

You're never lonely if you've got a flesh light.

FTFY

 

[Randolph Freelander]

That's a relief.

I want a credible article to report this

Loneliness sounds so sad but it's awesome for some people

 

[User1608]

Yes. Before meeting great friends last year I was ready to end it, so yeah.

 

[Astral Dog]

well, GAF helps me to cope.

Otherwise not surprising at all.human are like social animals.

 

[Einchy]

 

[Ozigizo]

It's alright, Gaf. I'll be your friend.

It happens to some pets and couples that have been together for life for sure.

That and a lonely lifestyle is bad for you anyways.

 

[blame space]

now that I think about it, dying owns too.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

I've been a walking dead for a long time then.

 

[Strangelove77]

That's why anime always emphasizes the power of friendship. You can overcome any obstacle with friendship. Especially loneliness...
And anime villains.

 

[FUME5]

Depends on your personality.

now that I think about it, dying owns too.

Well then hurry up about it.

 

[213372bu]

now that I think about it, dying owns too.

dying owns us allllll

 

[GovtPlates]

that's pretty much what it feels like, too

 

[Einchy]

Well then hurry up about it.

Act like you've been there before.

 

[triplestation]

Damn suddenly dogs are literally life saving beans

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Eh, i´ll be fine, not even death wants to hang out with me.

 

[Soriku]

Weren't there studies done of babies (I think in WW2) who were deprived of empathy and any real human connection while raised, and died as a result? I remember learning that back in (middle?) school...

 

[Farsi]

It's only bad until you lose your sense of reality, imagining your own world in your head is really fun.

WTF

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Surprised no one has made an accidental philosophy tumblr.

 

[spazchicken]

Cursing out the person on the other end of an online Street Fighter V match counts as social interaction, right?

 

[Jacob]

Well, yeah, it's not healthy to be unhappy.

Loneliness leads to unhappiness.
Unhappiness leads to stress.
Hate leads to suffering.

Omelette leads to fecal urgency.
Fecal urgency leads to ... nursing homes?

 

[SilentRacoon]

Talk about it with your friends.

Anyone who is having fun isn't lonely, just alone. You can be alone and not lonely and you can be surrounded by people and still be suffering from loneliness. There are also different kinds of loneliness, "I have no friends", "I have no real friends", "Nobody will ever take interest in me again", but to me they all feel pretty much the same

gat damn, this made me laugh.

 

[besada]

There are a lot of studies suggesting chronic loneliness is bad for your health, and it includes people who say they're fine being alone. Human beings evolved in groups. We're wired up to need social interaction. If we don't get it, we suffer stress and increased cortisol levels, which damage a variety of our body's systems. More and more it's being investigated as a public health risk, as the incidence of self-reported loneliness increases.

Well, when you're old and weak, you need reasons to keep yourself in this world. Ok, not reasons, but drive to do it.
