Loneliness is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It raises cortisol, disrupts sleep, and weakens immunity.
Lonely brains are hypervigilant โ detecting threats everywhere. This makes social situations feel more threatening than they are.
Loneliness makes us withdraw further, reinforcing isolation. Breaking the cycle requires small, consistent steps โ not big leaps.
Shared activities (not just talking), helping others, and joining groups with a purpose work better than pure socialising.
