The Lonely Ones

Humans are social creatures. We evolved from the mammals we want to interact with and our environment. Even today, you can see that we are very social creatures. Sites like Facebook and Twitter are getting more contact with past people and the possibility of meeting new people more than ever. In the recent Maker campaign, people use the power of the Internet to share project ideas and techniques, but that proves that we like to interact and change the environment. By using the Internet, you can communicate more easily and talk to the environment more easily than ever before.

The Loneliness Scale at the University of Los Angeles examined 20,000 people and urged to evaluate consent to 20 statements such as "nobody knows me" or "I can talk to people".

There are only 22% who never feel lonely, and one in ten often feel lonely. It is not uncommon to talk about the number of titles that overcomes solitude and loneliness. But when you are lonely, you may only focus on people who have what you want and may not focus on those in similar circumstances. Everyone feels lonely. And loneliness seems to bring other problems. Compared to the group reporting a strong social relationship, the top 20% of loneliness groups reported embarrassment, anxiety, hostility, pessimism, fear of negative evaluation, and depression in other characteristics It was.
