Study: To Beat Loneliness, Visits Must Be Real, Not Virtual
This is a pretty interesting find, and makes sense.As someone that struggles greatly with loneliness -- what kinds of systems have people found to address it as an adult?  (Presumably there's an interest on this site, since this article is here.)I've for years found it to be an utterly crippling problem that I just can't really get on top of.  I scrape by by having acquaintances at work, and trying to stay in touch with remote friends (which works quite badly).  But I haven't been able to find a good balance with it for many years.Sometimes I think maybe I'm trying to solve the wrong problem, but it seems to be an unnatural state for a person to feel alone.
