Loneliness is increasing rapidly, and it is becoming a major issue.
Studies show that it can lead to or increase the risk of
increased obesity, substance use disorder, risk of depression, cardiovascular disease, risk of high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
It is also something people feel great shame over.
I remember when i started my loneliness group on Facebook.
I then posted it existence in a large group for immigrants.
One admin messaged me to say how pathetic and dumb it was
and recommended shutting down the group right away.
"Just go out and meet people.
it is not hard"
He was an extreme extravert who spent most of his time networking
with new people he meets or perhaps he knows.
He cannot imagine the it being a problem.

- TheCowboy 4y agoThe idea that tendencies for extroversion and introversion somehow perfectly line up with partisan pandemic politics is quite a terrible take. It's also unreasonably hostile towards a lot of people and you might want to consider what motivates you to post such a comment here of all places.
- creshal 4y agoIn Europe, it wasn't very partisan? You had left wingers holding rave parties masked as "political demonstrations dropping the bass to drop the patriarchy" just as much as you had right wingers holding rave parties masked as "political demonstrations dropping the bass to drop the jewish conspiracies".
- pjerem 4y ago> He was an extreme extravert Yes probably :) But also an asshole, if you allow me to be polite. Extraversion is not an excuse to not having the bare minimum of empathy.
