130 - Loneliness, why more time with people isn't the answer.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why is it that in a digitally connected world we feel so emotionally alone?
This week we're looking loneliness, it has been called a public health concern and is ironically a fairly universal experience. So, what can we learn, and what can we do?
In this episode we ask:
- What's the difference between objectively being alone and the subjective experience of loneliness?
- Do we just need to spend more time with others?
- What's the deal with social media?
And finally we suggest a couple ideas that might help.
This episode was inspired by a couple of scientific studies:
Loneliness and time alone in everyday life: A descriptive-exploratory study of subjective and objective social isolation.
Quality not quantity: loneliness subtypes, psychological trauma, and mental health in the US adult population
