I do.
I specifically requested Eleanor Rigby from The Beatles.
Um, it's pretty neat to see a song that's been around for a while that actually talks um that really touches on loneliness and lonely people.
So uh felt quite appropriate.
Yeah, so I actually don't think it's a stupid question because we get it wrong all the time and we use the terms interchangeably.
And if you read things on the news or in the media or in papers, they're used interchangeably.
Um, they are related, they can coexist, but they are different things.
And what I mean by that is loneliness is really something that's subjective.
So it is how you are feeling.
Do you feel that you are missing connections, that you're isolated?
It's also something that's distressing.
And the importance of saying that it's distressing is because some people are quote unquote alone but aren't distressed by it.
Social isolation in contrast is really about something that's very quantifiable in terms of the number of relationships and people and contacts that people have.
Um, you can also think about it together if you look at both of the terms together, calling it social disconnection, which really will encompass both loneliness and isolation.
and there's there's so much more detail we can talk about it in terms of types of loneliness, but I think it's really important that we know those two things up front and get that term straight, those terms straight.
Yeah.
I mean, I think that there's so many uh ways that you can become lonely.
Um, and there's, you know, uh
A lot of it also can do with the types of relationships or the quality of relationships that you have.
And, you know, it's it's probably too much to go into really the types of loneliness, but the reason why I think that's important to say that is because when you start thinking about what do we do about this, if we don't actually understand how someone becomes lonely.
