Among adults in the U.S., social isolation increases the risk of premature death by 29% — more than smoking 15 cigarettes per day. In sum, loneliness kills.
@jjGravitas LOL - not being lonely generally involves being with people one likes - it is easy to be lonely in a crowd :)

I'll take it. I'd rather die from so-called 'loneliness' than extend my life by being forced to hang around people that annoy me.
