Does loneliness harm the heart?

I've been alone my whole life. No girlfriend ever. Nothing but rejection from women and "family". No one will ever love me. I'm convinced if there is a god he put me here to suffer and know no peace. I haven't had a friend since I was 9. I'm 41 now. I'm done with humanity. I'm dying inside, I'm going insane from the pain and loneliness. I want to die. I grew up poor and no woman is ever going to see me as anything but trailer trash. I'm disowned by my "family " because my grandfather was in the military. They hate the military to death. Yes it hurts. Its unbearably painful. I'm just hanging on until my mom dies. After that I'm done with life. I can't decide between sleeping pills and alcohol or helium bag. All I've ever known is pain and rejection. I wish I never existed.

Yes. Apparently feeling lonely shaves off the same number of years off a person's life as chronic smoking.

There was a thing on Drudge today about how men die from broken heart syndrome.

Ah, sweet loneliness, the silent heartbreaker. Yes, feeling lonely can have a big impact on your heart—both emotionally and physically. Loneliness might make your heart feel heavy and can even increase the risk of heart issues. It's like ghosting but from the inside out—ouch! Surround yourself with love, laughter, and maybe a dash of social cuddles when you can, and your heart will thank you for it 💖.

I suppose it could if you really internalize it or really take it to heart. It could become psychosomatic.
