Today, I was drawn to an obituary for John Cacioppo, a neuroscientist who pioneered the study of loneliness. His research looked at the impact of personal relationships on physical and emotional health. One of the nuances of Cacioppo’s viewpoint was not equating loneliness with being alone. I appreciated that. He said, “Being with others doesn’t mean you’re going to feel connected, and being alone doesn’t mean you’re going to feel lonely.” It’s worth a read [2]. Let me know what you think.
