The study has shown that loneliness at a young age can have a positive impact on the ability to better overcome the "broken heart" at adulthood. Scientists at the interdisciplinary demographic Institute of the Netherlands have found that those who remained alone in their 20 years and a little longer had more resources and life skills to overcome emotional pain from breaking in mature relationships.
Researchers suggest that lonely young people develop more relationships and skills that help them better cope with the emotional and physical stress associated with separation. They can also develop a more flexible attitude towards relationships in relationships.
The study was based on data analysis from a 36-year German study, which was observed by a group of people for a long period. The results showed that women who came into relationships immediately after leaving their parents' home had a lower ability to effectively overcome emotional pain from parting compared to those who remained lonely at a young age.
The conclusions of the study indicate that loneliness at a young age can be a period for development and self -improvement, which in the future contributes to better adaptation to emotional tests in adulthood. It is important to keep in mind that the results of the study should not be considered an instructions for action, because each individual is unique, and his or her relationship can be determined by different factors.
