I really enjoy the personal angle, definitely more relatable, and along the way, you touch on loneliness-vulnerable groups (immigrants, international students, people who move a lot) that are less often considered.

The analogy you made, having that first taste of social connection after time of isolation is like the first taste of ice cream after not having sugar for a while, is related to this research. Thanks for sharing!https://twitter.com/rebecca_saxe/status/1243286977656565762?s=20 …

Thank you for the kind words and for making connection to empirical research! I will check it out. I think the Weber’s (Fechner-Weber) law which is originally about sensory perception can be generalized to social stimuli.
