Friends are important in our life, because no one wants to be lonely. However, some people have problems in making friends and they often feel lonely. According to a new study from Chicago University, the reason is that this kind of people have brains (脑) different from common people. And they often feel unsafe when facing strangers.
Does that mean they have no way to become happy again?
Scientists of this study have thought up ways to help these people deal with their loneliness. They provided four steps for getting out of loneliness.
"It's not enough for people just to get in touch with others online. That's because most people don't show their true selves there," said Dr Cacioppo, one of this study's scientists. Another step is to get an action plan. As "Actions speak louder than words", people need to be active to communicate with others. They also need to meet people with the same interests. Also, they should try to expect the best from each activity. Who knows what good things are waiting for us?
