Specifically the workplace. An environment that a breathtaking number of people do not want to think one second about outside of work.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI havent read about workplace interactions as an intervention for loneliness and depression. It would be hard to run a RCT on that, so you would only be left with correlation. I dont know why making it a more pleasant experience during work has anything to do with how much someone thinks about it outside of work.
- rockskon 2y agoBecause not all human interaction is equal. It equivocates talking to a cashier at the grocery store to hanging out with friends.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI don't think that's the comparison I would make. I think the comparison would a workplace where people can take a break and chat with friends, vs one where they spend their breaks in isolation. Alternatively, a workplace where a grocer talks with customer while filling an order vs one where they get a packing list from a machine and puts it in a pickup box.
