i try to summarise the key viewpoints of the video i think it tell me 3 things – first what is loneliness – it’s a feeling of your brain, it’s different from being alone. Being alone is a status when you are not around by others you are alone but loneliness is a body function like pain or sth like that, so it’s about biology – the 2nd, why people feel lonely, i think it’s according to the video, lonelinss is something written in the gene in human, in the ancient ages, ancient human are live together with family, with small groups, being together being survive, being alone means death, so the one who are good at get along with others survive, so their genes survive as well, so to avoid being alone your body learn feeling of pain, so that’s why being lonely is not comfortable, it will bring pains so that you are eager to find friends, get along with others. And for the video, told me that the loneliness become a serious problem since the late rennaisance and more and more people got chronic loneliness by accident. Chronic loneliness is deadly, it’s dangerous, it kills people, and what’s serious about that illness, it can trapped people in a vicious circle. If you feel loneliness you may got into a self protection mood, your brain feel danger and refuse to get along with others, that’s a vicious circle. So the last thing I leanred from the video is that how to fix the problem, how heal the illness. First you shoudl recognise that illness, recognise that you get into trouble and you can call for help, seek for professional help and when you recognise that you have to practice how to deal with people. Try to take actions such as invite people to have a coffee, give calls to your family members, talk to others, do that small actions will help you to learn to deal with people, do not feel danger, when you are talking or surrounding by others.

i will try to summarise the key viewpoints of the video i think it tells me 3 things – first what is loneliness – it’s a feeling of your brain, which is / and it is different from being alone. Being alone is a status and when you are not surrounded by others / when others are not around you, you are alone but loneliness is a bodily function like pain or sth like that, so it’s about biology – the 2nd, why people feel lonely, i think it’s according to the video, lonelinss is genetic / evolutionary, in the age of early humans, ancient human / early in human evolution / in the early age of humans / early human age, we lived together with family, in small groups, being together means survival, being alone means death, so the ones / the people who are good at getting along with others survive, so their genes survive as well, so to avoid being alone your body learns the feeling of pain, so that’s why being lonely is not comfortable, and it will bring pain so that you are eager to find friends, get along with others. And for the video told me that the loneliness has become a serious problem since the late rennaisance and more and more people get chronic loneliness by accident. Chronic loneliness is deadly / life threatening / harmful, it’s dangerous in that it causes depression which kills people, and what’s serious about that illness is it can trapped people in a vicious cycle. If you feel loneliness you may go into / enter a / fall into / get trapped in a self protection mode / insular mindset / overly protective state of mind, your brain feels danger and refuses to get along with others, which is a vicious cycle. So the last thing I learned from the video is that how to fix the problem, how heal the illness. First you should recognise that illness, recognise that you have gotten into / that you (already) are in trouble and you can call for help, seek for professional help and when you recognise that, you have to practice how to deal with people. Trying to take actions such as inviting people to have a coffee, give calling to your family members, talking to others – doing those small actions / things / taking those small steps will help you to learn to deal with people, try not to feel defensive / try not to feel that you’re in danger, when you are talking or surrounded by others.
