Loneliness is bad for brains (community isolation)

[RainbowUnicorn]

Poverty and poor health were ruled out of the result attributed to loneliness. Neither were ever conflated with social isolation.

So poverty and poor health were NOT ruled out for social isolation. Got it.

Modern depresion, the feeling of being alone while being surrounded by people etc..
it seems to be equal to not being physically close to others.

Don't worry Syne. Death is coming for all of us. Think of it as one the last remaining things about yourself that's still human.

Ah, ad hominem as deflection.

Wow, too afraid to even address my comments about your fear. Too close to home.
Pray tell, where did I say anything to give you any impression I had any significant fear of death?

If you've got the stones to ask, I can quote many indications that you are socially isolated and insecure about it.

Here ya go Syne. You'll be alright now. lol!

Glad you found it, little buddy. I'm around people all the time, but you sure could use it.

Alas, I guess you didn't have the nerve to even attempt to back up your ad hominem assumptions. Just more insecure deflection.

Ofcourse you are, "introvert". Just keep telling yourself that. lol!

BTW, did you know social stress and stress at work can shorten lifespan too? Maybe you should spend more time alone.

Wow!
So you've been isolated for so long that you really think being an introvert means you can't be around people without stress? O_o
Even family, friends (if you have any in real life), and coworkers (which I guess you don't)? Jeez, the state you've gotten yourself into.
Stress is generally a result of poor coping skills...which would include identifying too much as an introvert as a justification for defensive insecurity. Just because an introvert is energized by alone time doesn't mean socializing must be stressful. It can be a neutral experience, just like alone time need not stress an extrovert.

Not every extrovert spends the weekend partying, and sometimes introverts live it up, too. We all act introverted at times and extroverted at others; according to Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, there is no such thing as a “pure” introvert or extrovert. We all fall somewhere on a sliding scale.

I also get plenty of alone time...enough to engage with my many hobbies and interests. As with all things in life, there's simply a balance to be struck.

Everybody gets more stressed in social situations and at work than they do being alone. It's just the nature of the situation. That sort of stress will be your downfall. It's that petty whining combativeness that gives you a cortisol rush every time you post in this forum. I'd go find a grave plot for yourself if I were you. Death may be knocking at your door.

Speak for yourself, little buddy. Plenty of people suffer no stress from social situations or work. It's just a matter of how you view things, as a risk or an opportunity.
No, posting on a forum is not stressful, but thanks for the projected insight into your seemingly perpetual worries...including your apparent burden of negative thoughts.

Seriously, look into developing better coping skills and try socializing in baby steps.
Or just continue fantasizing about my death because that's the easy way to make yourself feel better.

Here's a great website for cheap cemetary plots. I hope this eases your twisted mind. Your death can bring great stress relief in the end. No more bile-spitting hatred and bigotry. I know it will be a great relief for this forum.

I see you opted to "continue fantasizing about my death because that's the easy way to make yourself feel better".
Talk about bile-spitting hatred.
