Facebook Twitter Pinterest Feeling blue: scientists – and lonely people – have been tracking a single blue whale who sings, unanswered, at a frequency other whales can’t hear. Only 11% of lonely people try to solve their loneliness: finding God, joining laughter yoga, scouring the internet for cures and whales. I think this is why loneliness is a darker thing than just being alone. You can talk for hundreds of hours in therapy about your fear of death and loneliness, and get nowhere. Scientists think the lonely whale is a blue whale, one of the strongest animals on earth because of the sheer amount of muscle it needs to keep moving.
