It seems that some people are born to carefreely “flutter” from flower to flower in a noisy company, while others are doomed to loneliness.
Western scientists have been investigating whether this is really the case. And it turns out that a person's happiness really does depend on the person himself, and not on those around him.
So, the staff of the University of Bremen conducted a survey among people who are not in a relationship and consider themselves lonely.
Family men and people in romantic relationships also took part in the work.
The results of the work were published by the Daily Mail.
As part of a simple survey, volunteers were asked to rate their level of sociability.
They were also asked to answer questions regarding awareness of choice, satisfaction with life, openness to new feelings, and to assess the level of goodwill and tendency to nervous breakdowns.
According to a conditional scale, each answer had to be assigned a certain point. Then the points were summed up.
It turned out that single people scored lower on the survey than family men or people in romantic relationships.
Scientists have come to the conclusion that it is a person’s character that influences his quality of life, including the fact that he is lonely.
But interestingly, single women were more satisfied with their lives than single men.
It also turned out that the satisfaction rate depends on age. Older people were the most satisfied with their status.
