📢 How introverts slowly off themselves

In 1981, explorer Yossi Ghinsberg and his 2 friends set out to explore the Amazon rainforest.

But the adventure became a nightmare when a flood separated Yossi from the group. Yossi ended up lost and alone in the jungle with few survival skills. He suffered constant rain and sweltering heat. He battled hallucinations and near starvation all while needing to avoid dangerous predators.

After 3 weeks alone in the jungle, he was rescued by a group of indigenous people and survived.

He wrote his story in the book “Jungle”, which was eventually adapted into a movie by the same name.

But as he recalled everything he suffered; the near starvation, the hallucinations and the dangerous predators. He said the hardest part of the experience was the isolation. Out of everything, the absence of human connections is what drove him to despair.

He learned humans need connection as much as food and water.

A Harvard study with over 80 years of data supports this.

Researchers found what keeps you living the longest;

• More than eating healthy

• More than going to the gym

• More the quitting drinking and smoking

• More then wealth

• More then genetics

Was the quality of your relationships.

They found loneliness is more dangerous than smoking 15 cigarettes per day.

In fact, the longest-living human to ever live, Jeanne Calment, smoked cigarettes until the day she died at 122 years old. But to her dying day, friends and family surrounded her.

I’d be more concerned by someone's loneliness than I am by their obesity, smoking, and drinking.

What I’m trying to say is human connection isn’t an option. 

I’ve met alot of introverts who say they like being alone. They think it’s ok to be lonely. It's not. It's how you slowly kill yourself. The truth is they're just scared. Scared of rejection, scared of embarrassing themselves. But overcoming your fear of rejection isn’t an option if you want to live a fulfilling life.

If that doesn’t motivate you to make friends, I don’t know what will.

That's why I made this for you.
