L.A. Times reports that loneliness is scientifically linked to coldness:
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto, also found that people who felt isolated preferred warm drinks over cold ones — presumably to make themselves feel better.
The research shows there is a psychological basis behind metaphors linking cold temperatures to feelings of loneliness, despair or sadness, said psychologist and lead author Chen-Bo Zhong.
“Our mind is not independent of our body,” he said. “Perceptions we think of as purely cognitive also involve physical perceptions.”
