Is loneliness bad? If you google the question, your first few
answers will be links to general articles that quote researchers, or people’s
views on Quora. You could use some of these to write your own essay or
presentation, but it would seem dishonest. Now, you have a better tool than
plain vanilla Google for quick research — a new Google tool called ‘Talk to Books’.
As Google explains: “when you type in a question or a statement, the model
looks at every sentence in over 100,000 books to find the responses that would
most likely come next in a conversation. The response sentence is shown in
bold, along with some of the text that appeared next to the sentence for
context.”
Here are some of the answers Talk to Books pulled in answer to our
question on loneliness: “Loneliness has produced several public health
concerns, including depression, increased illness, and earlier mortality.
People who self-isolate are caught in the middle of a double-edged dilemma”;
“Although loneliness is not specifically an internalizing disorder in itself,
it is a symptom of mood disorders and an especially important predictor of
suicidality, particularly in adolescence (American Psychiatric Association,
2000)”; “At a basic level Moustakas (1961) has described it as a longing to be
with others and to be loved, while Weiss (1973) argues that loneliness is
caused not by being alone but by being without some definite needed
relationship or relationships.” Pretty good, isn’t it?
