WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND ABOUT
WHETHER THEY SHOULD START A
FAMILY.

SHE WANTED TO AND HE DIDNT. HE THOUGHT HE COULD NOT BE BOTH
A GOOD TALK SHOW HOST AND A GOOD

MISTAKE.
MISTAKE.

THINKS, TO ADOPT. BUT I CAN RELATE TO THAT.

THE WEEK I MET MY NOW-HUSBAND, I
REALIZED I WAS WRONG. THANKFULLY, I WAS ONLY 35 AT THE

REASON GOD CUTS YOU OFF.

ALL OF US DO, YES.

EVEN ONE HUG FROM A STRANGER CAN
REDUCE FEELINGS OF LONELINESS
AND DEPRESSION.
AND DEPRESSION.
I MEAN, IT CAN ALSO BE WEIRD IF IT COMES FROM A STRANGER, BUT IT
CAN MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.
RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND THAT A
SLOW AND GENTLE TOUCH ON YOUR
SKIN, SLOW AND GENTLE, NOT LIKE,
SLOW AND GENTLE CAN REDUCE
FEELINGS OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION, AT
LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
IF YOURE FEELING LONELY, YOURE
NOT SUPPOSED TO TURN TO SOCIAL
MEDIA BECAUSE NOTHING GOOD
HAPPENS THERE.
HAPPENS THERE.
YOU DO NOT LEAVE FEELING BETTER. YOURE SUPPOSED TO TURN TO YOURR.
YOURE SUPPOSED TO TURN TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND HUG THEM.
