      As most commonly defined, loneliness is a persistent and chronic feeling of isolation caused either by distrust or the inability to accept intimacy or by a profound and unshakable feeling of being unworthy of social interaction. More specifically, loneliness is believed to be the persistent feeling of not belonging. Since the 1950s, researchers in both medicine and psychology have determined that loneliness is not only an emotional condition, but that it is also a physical condition. Being unable to connect with appropriate support systems, such as friends, family, or social groups, has been proven to be detrimental to physical well-being, which then has the potential to worsen physical ailments and ultimately impact life expectancy.
