Feeling lonely Valentine's Day helpful Bashny.Net

But it's a double-edged kontsah



Valentine's Day, when all couples rejoice that they have a soul mate, single people can feel their loneliness acutely. But do not worry: the scientists say that it may even be beneficial.

John Cacioppo of the University of Chicago says that in everyday life loneliness is usually seen as something negative. But research conducted over the past decade indicate that loneliness makes a person more quickly adapt to the new place for him.

In particular, the loneliness contributes to behavioral change and increase the likelihood of transmission of their genes. The pain of loneliness leads people to resume relations, contributes to social trust, solidarity and collective action.

But there is bad news: loneliness viewed more negatively in terms of psychosocial functioning and attractiveness. In society, lonely people just make a negative impression, influences behavior and reinforces the loneliness even more - such a vicious circle.
