Read Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, by John Cacioppo and William Patrick. ISBN 978-0-393-06170-3. Its major theme-we humans are a very social bunch, and being cut off from other people, might be the very worst punishment of all with very negative effects to our health. Cacioppo showed that prolonged loneliness can be as harmful to your health as smoking or obesity. A persistent sense of rejection or isolation can impair DNA transcription in our immune cells. This disruption also impairs thinking, will power, and perseverance, as well as our ability to read social signals and exercise social skills. It also limits our ability to internally regulate our emotions-all of which can combine to trap us in self-defeating behaviors that reinforce the very isolation and rejection that we dread. Well no, from broken heart syndrome yes. Loneliness can increase your likeliness to die earlier, or more of a chance for acquiring a disease.
