Jesus fucking Christ:
"Having a lonely friend (or coworker, of family member) increases your chance of being lonely by 52 percent, and each additional lonely day per week you have leads to one additional lonely day per month for everyone you know."
I did not know it was this fucking contagious. This is bad. If it was a disease there would be fuckin benefit concerts for it
