Input your social connection data

Formula

Social Connection Score = Connection Quantity Score + Meaningful Relationships Score + Interaction Score + Quality Score + Support Score

Connection Quantity Score = Min((Social Connections / 15) × 15, 15)

Meaningful Relationships Score = Min((Meaningful Relationships / 5) × 15, 15)

Interaction Score = (Social Interaction Frequency / 10) × 15

Quality Score = (Quality of Connections / 10) × 15

Support Score = (Social Support Available / 10) × 20

Loneliness Risk = Loneliness Contribution + (100 - Social Connection Score) × 0.5

Loneliness Contribution = (Feeling of Loneliness / 10) × 20

Risk ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating greater loneliness risk.

Steps

  • Count number of social connections you have (friends, family, acquaintances).
  • Count number of meaningful, close relationships (people you feel comfortable confiding in).
  • Rate frequency of social interactions (1-10, 10 = very frequent).
  • Rate quality of your social connections (1-10, 10 = excellent, supportive relationships).
  • Rate your feeling of loneliness (1-10, 10 = very lonely).
  • Rate how much social support you feel is available when needed (1-10, 10 = strong support).
  • Review your loneliness risk level and recommendations for improving social connection.

FAQs

What is loneliness risk?

Loneliness risk assesses your likelihood of experiencing chronic loneliness based on social connections, relationship quality, interaction frequency, and perceived social support. Chronic loneliness significantly impacts physical and mental health.

What causes loneliness?

Loneliness can result from: lack of social connections, poor relationship quality, infrequent social interaction, lack of meaningful relationships, social isolation, life transitions, relocation, loss of relationships, and perceived lack of social support.

What is a good loneliness risk score?

Scores below 30 indicate low risk. 30-50 is moderate risk. 51-70 is high risk. Above 70 indicates critical risk requiring attention to social connection and potentially professional support.

Is loneliness the same as being alone?

No, loneliness is the subjective feeling of being disconnected or isolated, even when around others. You can be alone without feeling lonely, or feel lonely in a crowd. It's about quality and meaningfulness of connections.

What are the health impacts of loneliness?

Chronic loneliness increases risk of: depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, weakened immune system, cognitive decline, sleep problems, and premature mortality. It's as harmful as smoking or obesity for health.

Can you have many connections but still feel lonely?

Yes, quality matters more than quantity. You can have many superficial connections but still feel lonely if you lack meaningful, close relationships where you feel understood, valued, and supported.

How can I reduce loneliness?

Strategies include: building meaningful relationships, joining groups or communities, engaging in shared activities, volunteering, reaching out to existing connections, improving relationship quality, and seeking professional support if needed.

Does social media help or worsen loneliness?

It depends. Social media can provide connection but often replaces meaningful in-person interactions. Passive social media use (scrolling) typically increases loneliness, while active engagement and in-person connections reduce it.

When should I seek professional help for loneliness?

Seek help if loneliness is persistent, severe, accompanied by depression or anxiety, affecting daily functioning, or if you struggle to form or maintain relationships despite efforts. Therapy can address underlying causes.

Can loneliness be temporary?

Yes, situational loneliness (after a move, loss, or transition) is often temporary and resolves as you build new connections. Chronic loneliness (lasting months or years) is more concerning and may need intervention.
