According to a new study started by CNN out loneliness may be caused by genetics. Some people find loneliness comforting while other's become sad, emotional and depressed. This feeling of loneliness stems from the fact that" loneliness is evolutionary, experts say. Humans would not survive in the wild alone." So the next time you feel lonely know it may not be a hormone imbalance, but your bodies way to correct its need for interaction.

Thats a cool way to look at that. i don't really buy evolutionary psychology, but that theory sounds pretty good.
Will you be my friend?
Intresting, I never knew lonliness was part of a evolutionary process.
This is very good and interesting information. I never knew the details of lonliness as it is described in this article.
I've never thought of loneliness that way before, but I guess it makes sense. I like being around people, but sometimes I emjoy being by myself too. You have a good point!
aww how lonely. yes very interesting how loneliness is studied by evolutionary psychologists. : (
Wow. Sometimes its great to have people around, but a lot of the time you just need to have time to yourself. So how does the evolutionary theory explain loners then?
Very interesting information. I like some timne to myself. These psychologists make this theory same pretty logical and right.
well its quite unbelievable.
but depression exists around people, and a lot of the time it is inherited.
i think that lonliness is nice sometimes, because sometimes you just need to be alone. but a person should not enjoy lonliness all the time.
im not sure if i believe that it can be inherited though. that is an interesting theory.
