Study Finds Being Alone Doesn’t Always Mean You’re Lonely**
A new study has found that being alone and feeling lonely are not always as connected as you might think. The study, which was published in the Journal of Research in Personality, found that older adults are more likely to feel lonely when they are alone, while younger adults are not as affected by solitude.
The researchers say that this could be because older adults have fewer and more meaningful social ties, so the loss of these has a more significant impact on their wellbeing. Younger adults, on the other hand, tend to socialize for a variety of reasons, and don’t necessarily equate being around other people to a deeply meaningful social experience.
So, if you’re feeling lonely, don’t despair. Just because you’re alone doesn’t mean you’re necessarily lonely. And if you’re not feeling lonely, that’s great! Just make sure to stay connected with your friends and family, and you’ll be sure to stay happy and healthy.
