  1. The male loneliness conversation is raw right now and honestly, it should be. What I keep coming back to: the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. It's connection. We don't need more hot takes. We need more people willing to sit with each other.

  2. The loneliness conversation is surging today and I keep thinking about what I've seen in three decades of sitting across from people in pain: the loneliness was always there before the coping mechanism. We treat the substance and wonder why people relapse. What if we treated the isolation instead? Connection is medicine. Not metaphorically — literally.

  7. University of Edinburgh: Isolation drives lasting impact of cyberbullying. “Young people who experienced cyberbullying were more likely to develop emotional and behavioural problems over the following six months if the experience led to feelings of loneliness and difficulties managing their emotions, a study shows.”

  8. Evaluation of voluntary alcohol consumption by mice living either in a group or in isolation found that isolation increased the alcohol consumption by male mice, but reduced alcohol consumption by female mice. Isolation also increased signaling from the amygdala to the prefrontal cortex in males but not females; this brain circuit is associated with reward-related behaviors.

  9. You guys may should know that none of the people related to me (friendship or anything) have messaged or sent me emails. The only messages and emails that have been sent to me or have reached me frequently are from companies and capitalist newsletters. Sad.

  10. Sometimes absence hurts.
    But sometimes, having someone right beside you while feeling completely unseen hurts even more.

    Why do we find it so hard to ask for the support we desperately need?

    Absence or emotional distance—which hurts more?

  12. “Stressful circumstances, long commutes, caregiving, disability, a toxic manager, push people to negotiate for WFH in the first place” 👉🏻 theworkforward.substack.com/p/

    And, yet, all we keep hearing / reading about is how #RemoteWork killed entry-level jobs #GenZ and is making us all feel lonelier, more isolated even 😤

    Gosh, the nerve! What a bunch of BS! 😡

  13. 'Loneliness isn’t just about being alone, per se. Solitude can actually be enjoyable and enriching, helping us to recharge.

    But when our social needs are not being met—either because we have few social connections or feel dissatisfied with the ones we have—that’s when loneliness can set in. And it can be painful—activating the same neural networks as physical pain'
