No human cannot live long in the dark world of loneliness, filled with a lot of sadness and misery. So we become social beings to combat that melancholic feeling.

However, when we get sick, our body weakens which makes us tend to stay home to get rest. We are more restricted to do what we want due to physical weakness, then eventually we feel lonely. In fact, a study finds that the feeling of loneliness worsens the cold because loneliness makes people feel worse physically, mentally, and emotionally. So, if we feel ill and at the same time feel lonely it feels like we're in the process of dying. Also, researchers even said that lonely people are susceptible to illness.

To fight loneliness, perhaps go social online and try socializing with your virtual friends, or talk to your pet, plants, imaginary friend, or any inanimate object that you considered a friend to make you feel better and hasten the healing process.
