The reverse side of loneliness: the facts, corroborated by scientists. Bashny.Net

Many people feel the loneliness something shameful. A young girl sitting at a table by the window, or a guy entering the cinema hall with a ticket may evoke sympathy and even pity. Of course, there is a certain category of people who feel comfortable and without anyone's presence, but what if you're not and do not feel happy alone?

A recent study by American scientists, published in the Journal of Consumer Research, show that many people underestimate all the charms of his "lonely" position. In the experiment, an art gallery wound up on one of the subjects that were to walk through the halls while the rest of the visitors were walking in groups or pairs. As the audit showed that "many subjects expect from a walk through the gallery is much less fun than if they were with friends».





Professor Rebecca Hamilton and Rebecca Ratner told the newspaper Washington Post, that "subjects spent time alone as well as if you were with someone. This recognition even for them was an unexpected discovery. " « There is no doubt in this case, lunch in a restaurant may differ slightly due to the lack of the usual element of the conversation, but it does not make a visit to the institution less pleasant em>», - says Hamilton.

« Actually absolutely no difference, order me a table at a restaurant, watch whether the new film alone or traveling without the company, more importantly, how are we at the same time feel em>», - summed up the Ratner.

Of course, sometimes to be in a range of other people - interesting and fun. However, loneliness is also not to be underestimated: it can spend time alone with yourself, your thoughts and feelings. Alone, you can travel, dining at a restaurant, going to the cinema, enjoy a favorite hobby, a vacation, or simply do nothing.

The main idea, which can be learned from this American experiment - do as you see fit! In my opinion, a very sensible and wise reasoning. Do you think your friends think otherwise? Tell them about this interesting study and learn their opinion about loneliness!
