So loneliness , the experience of loneliness is associated with an increased anxiety , depression , heart disease , uh dementia , cognitive decline , obesity . In fact , loneliness is such a serious and detrimental experiencing condition that it increases the odds of dying by 30% right ?
Ok . Loneliness is lonely thoughts , a feeling or experience of loveless is simply at the very core or root of it it's thoughts of loneliness or thoughts of love , lessness , right ? So loveless is loveless thoughts , loneliness is lonely thoughts , unhappiness essentially is unhappy thoughts , right ?
And so here's where I want to make a little delineation here . So lots of us experience loneliness over the course of our lives . We know that loneliness is actually a it's a public health epidemic , right ?
And the better we relate with ourselves , the better we can relate with other people . So this is how big of a problem loneliness is in the world um to loneliness , the subjective experience of social isolation . Right ?
You don't have that many social connections or whatnot . But the interesting thing is is that loneliness is really the subject , subjective experience of that social isolation , right ? And so by subjective , we mean that you can be alone but not feel lonely , right ?
