Десоциализация: почему одинокие кукухи отлетают первыми?

Часто можно услышать фразы, вроде «человеку нужен человек», «человек – социальное животное», «не имей сто рублей, а имей сто друзей» и другие, подчеркивающие значимость общества в жизни конкретного человека. При этом, какой-то значимой аргументации не приводится. Это преподносится как некая культурная и жизненная аксиома. Но, как показывает практика, доверяют ей далеко не все.И в рамках своей психологической практики мне приходится достаточно часто сталкиваться с людьми, недооценивающими значимость общества Read more

Psychology says people who are single in their 40s aren’t commitment-phobic or too picky—they’ve developed a relationship with solitude that makes most partnerships feel like a downgrade, and that realization changes what loneliness actually means
