It’s a shame, because there’s been an explosion of research in the past few decades on the importance of having a sense of belonging.

Past coupla decades? Um...Abraham Maslow 1940's, buddy.

Yes, but there was a seminal paper in 1995 that kicked off an explosion of research.

Cite the study that supports your claim that making children afraid of each other will result in increased inclusion.

Here's what I said, "Fearmongering. Tell the parents that bullying and social exclusion increases the chances that a kid brings a weapon to school.".

Fearmongering - the act of spreading needless fear; exaggerating purported threats in order to incite fear.

It works. Better to be safe than sorry.

The cited study did not study long-term loneliness and did not study “violent behavior.” There was literally nothing accurate about your original claim about the study.

This is chronic.

I am not the only one here who doesn't use precise wording all time, and I don't make a big deal about the imprecise wording of others. As I said before, my wording is sometimes a clickbait.

The main point is still true, regardless. Long-term loneliness is very similar to social isolation, there's no need to picky about all possible differences, Jesus Christ. And aggression is just as meaningful as violence. And I was clearly talking about social exclusion in the opening post.

I am honestly afraid of being randomly attacked by a stranger. Why? Because there's an increasing number of young men who get rejected by society.

I don't know why you forgot to quote that.

And I don't fear for my life. It's very improbable that I get attacked by a stranger.

DT will never be a husband to a normal woman.

A man is lonely and single = blame it all on him. Your attitude online = Real life. Got it!

You never asked me "Did you read everything from the study". We have to be very precise, right?

I was a husband to a normal woman, Doc. I had some great dates not long ago, by the way.

It says that retaliation (cause by aggression) is as meaningful as physical harm.

No, it doesn't say that.

Do I have to say everything word for word?

We measured aggression by giving participants the opportunity to damage another person's chances of getting a desirable job. This constitutes a measure of aggression because the evaluation has the potential to thwart the person's personal and career goals, a retaliation just as meaningful as physical harm.

People care more about my imprecise wording than the actual study.

Nobody is interested in pointing out what the authors concluded.

It's amazing how even topics about gun violence get thrown to the trash can.

People clearly hate unpopular opinions, even when they are backed up by some (or a lot) of evidence.

By now, everyone has read the study and they have found out that said study has nothing to do with your original post.

Here is a study that point out the correlation between long-term loneliness and violent behavior. Here's the proof:

you know there are quite a few of us over 45 , we just cannot keep up with you.

Did you learn something? Instead of beating me up for imprecise wording, why not just share your thoughts about the study?

What are the concerns and what can be done to solve the social exclusion problem? or the aggression problem?

It's clear many are not interested in a real discussion.

Some people over 45 are still very intelligent, that includes you.

Others are not interested in real discussions. Many are very interested in attacking my imprecise wording, but have nothing to say about the study.

Then there are others who are trying to be a smart ass.
