Even though you could be with many people throughout the day or even be in a lifelong relationship, you can still experience persistent loneliness. Countless people, after attending social events with family, work colleagues or friends, walk away feeling isolated, lonely and depressed.
When we perceive ourselves as lonely or depressed, it can have a negative effect on our health. Research has shown that feelings of loneliness and depression were associated with increased risk of early mortality. Some studies have also found links between perceived loneliness and some diseases, such as heart disease, while other research has suggested that loneliness and social isolation cause greater risks to public health in the United States than obesity.
Sadhguru provides insight into why we perceive ourselves as lonely, depressed and drowning in suffering and why we don’t have to.
