Do you think loneliness has had a negative impact on your mental health in the long run?

it has a severe negative effect, but it manifests slowly over time. human contact is unironically a need. i used to make fun of the guys who said sex was a need, that a guy would die without it. now im starting to think it wasnt a joke.
Ian Wright
Not health, but a state of mind - for sure. Anyways Im doing better than it could be, certain people helped me overcome total autism, guess Im lucky
Asher Scott
Yes. It's exacerbated as a problem by denying it too. It's not as immediately bad as being surrounded by assholes since an asshole is actively doing things to make that worse, you're still lonely surrounded by assholes though.
Jeremiah Gutierrez
So you're not lonely, are you?
Camden Brown
Yes. It generated me social anxiety and depression
Jordan Sanchez
It's pretty well established that it does in general, but there is a lot of variation between people.
Landon Gonzalez
Well, it was releatives that now I see 2-3 times a year, "friends" that I hanged put with untill 12 yo.
Mostly parents, they are literal saints. Found a good doc that recomended getting a dog, helped A LOT.
And there is a thing that you will laugh at and joke dark, it's Jow Forums after all - but there is a priest monk that helped a lot, is the kindest person to me ever.
Wasn't all that lonely in school, still not a mormie, but now yes I would call myself lone
Tyler Wright
Does any of you think that it could generate some sort of an insanity?
Andrew Ross
I'm starting to think you all really are like 15 years old
Yes isolation is a killer to the human mind this is known fact
Humans are social by nature and we aren't fucking tigers or some shit. Extended isolation lack o communication and human touch will unironically turn you into a psychopath
Cameron Rodriguez
>could generate some sort of an insanity
yes, unironically, though i suspect the most you could ever get diagnosed with was depression
Gavin Gonzalez
nothing wrong with being a psycho, MOST people are absolute trash not worthy of my time
Carter Campbell
Yes, it does affect mentally as well as physically. There's plethora of studies that show well adjusted couples have better mental and physical health. It satisfies emotional and support needs and people take better care of themselves and their hygiene and stay in good health. Loneliness deteriorates cognition. Plenty of people who have undergone solitary confinement say they experienced extreme and erratic moods, loss of memory and go stir crazy.
Adrian Sanchez
Yes, my OCD and depression get worse if im isolated and without proper social contacts.
Juan Rivera
I haven't had any real friend or gone on any social event since the 5th grade. I'm 19 now and advanced neet
Jordan White

Isaiah Williams
Any program for the future?
Zachary Green
Stop post, normalfag. You don't belong here. Never have, never will.
Hudson Sullivan
I was in a church place once and a guy talked about social isolation and he mentioned that after 3 weeks of complete loneliness (not talking to anyone, only working) he started hallucinating.
So yes.
Also humans seem to have a general drive to negate loneliness, so ignoring that drive could be harmful.
I don't have that drive though, so I can't really relate or explain the feeling.
Isaac Butler
To be fair he was a normalnigger so he gets symptoms that we don't. Some of us have not interacted with people for years and have never hallucinated for instance.
Jacob Parker
I've been a shut-in for 4 years now and I'm an unmotivated sack of shit
