Chronic loneliness is unhealthy

Studies found that the stress that comes from chronic loneliness is the most unhealthy thing we can experience.

When you feel lonely, you become worse at interpreting social signals and understand people less. Your brain starts to become out of tune with recognising faces and categorising neutral faces as hostile, making you become distrustful of others. You assume the worst about others, become more self-centred to protect yourself and appear more cold and unfriendly than you are.
