pages 16 - 96 (the end)
It's true people used to seek out connections with other people, yet when computers came out it stopped. (page 16)
Adolescents may be more lonely than "adults" or the elderly as suggested in a previous statement. (page 16)
People who are lonely have problems with metabolism, high blood pressure, etc. That means they may be fatter or have a fatter look, I think even if they don't eat especially bad and if they aren't unusually inactive even. (page 18)
Loneliness is even common in cancer and diabetes. (page 18)
I am supposing it can cause mental illnesses, for example schizophrenia, despite that people think mental illnesses have nothing to do with anything... (page 18)
Teenagers and young adults are most at risk for this period of loneliness. (page 19)
People who spend more time on social media may be less lonely. (page 19)
I'm guessing people of mixed race can be very lonely, and people of minority/colored races are lonelier than others as a group.
Doing dorky activities can combat the effects of loneliness. (page 20)
They go so far as to say to me that people whose friends apparently abandoned them before if they had any should consider being institutionalized. (page 21)
Some people went through moodiness before college, but for some apparently it hits sometime in college, probably near the beginning. Rich people would go and drop out right away, some maybe not even showing up. (page 30)
It's sad how discriminating colleges are because it is important to study and get a degree. (page 30)
Some exercise of some sort and practice can help... (page 63)
Holding a grudge is bad for you. (page 70)
Kids should practice exercise throughout the day. (page 70)
It is good to help people, but in the end people only want to get close to people who are very likable. Sorry to burst your bubble.
You need to be careful around depressed people. (page 77)
People need to make depressed people feel successful and worth it, not just in need of treatment alone.
Small things can send people off in self-pity. (page 80)
