“Sunshine causes sunburn that’s why I stay inside 24/7. simples.”

No social life is really really bad for your long term health outcomes. It’s net negative for you however you spin it. Please reconsider this way of living. Best wishes.

> No social life is really really bad for your long term health outcomes.

Fyi, this pop-psych wisdom was never meant to be universal. For hardcore introverts, little to no social life can be the healthy optimum (assuming you're functioning in society and not counting your coworkers as part of your social life, etc).

They just don't say that because it doesn't apply to most people. Hardcore introverts are relatively rare, and it risks misinterpretation by normal people to not fix their social lives wondering if they're one of those.

As someone with strong introvert bias it’s not impossible for me to imagine how basic social life might be almost unbearable for a hardcore introvert. But I would classify that as a rare disability, to be honest. There’s a danger in more average spectrum people over-identifying as isolationist and then leaning into isolation as a solution to discomfort, in terms of self -damage. we agree.

Unlike blabbering about nonsense during coffee breaks, sun exposure causes the production of vitamin D, and therefore has a positive effect on health. It's a comparison of a very different things. Of course, too much of everything can cause negative effects and so does the same sunshine.

No, it's a fake problem.

So to all the articles and papers that will come up if you search for terms like “health outcomes social isolation”… do I understand right that you dismiss that all as fake?
