TED Talks Daily · Feeling stressed? The answer isn’t to “just relax” | Aditi Nerurkar · 28 Apr 2025 podcast

Lean in and check in on your people and lean into your community.

want to share some data on loneliness and why community is so important we are seeing rampant rampant rises like all over the world really there's a global epidemic of loneliness 330 million people go two weeks before speaking to anyone and this is

global statistic, we know that loneliness, when you don't feel a sense of connection and community, loneliness is the equivalent medically, physiologically, it's the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Isn't that wild?

Meaning that it increases your risk of cardiovascular disease, strokes, heart disease, and also it shortens your lifespan.

particularly if you are elderly or if you're aging population.

I mean, we're all aging, right?

Like who's, who are we kidding?

But particularly in the elderly, it is a predictor of longevity.

And so really combating loneliness is so important.

When you're thinking about how to build community, when you're feeling stressed, when you're burnt out, the last thing you want to do is engage in like deep conversation.

You know, like you're like, oh, just leave me alone.

I just want to Netflix and chill or whatever it is that you want to do to just decompress and tune out.

But in fact, there is really compelling research to suggest something different when you are feeling a sense of stress or if you are lonely and you're trying to figure out how do I build community?

And it feels so overwhelming to engage in deep conversation.

Instead, focus on weak ties.

So let me explain.

There was a beautiful study done comparing how community is formed or like the sensation of belonging.

with strong ties and weak ties.

Strong ties is what you and I can already think about.
