- We've all heard of physical and mental health, but another important aspect to our overall health and wellbeing is social health. In fact, recently in the United States, the surgeon general revealed that social isolation and loneliness just topped obesity to claim second place as one of the top three killers in America.
Humans are highly social creatures, but that doesn't always mean that our social interactions are healthy. In this informative talk, Dr. Chelsea Shields, explains how our emotions can easily be high-jacked and then offers guidance on how to evaluate and level up our social health.
This presentation was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with only a limited live audience of cast and crew members. While applause has been added to the beginning and end of the video, all other aspects have intentionally remained as filmed to honor the struggle and loss experienced globally during 2020.
Wardrobe furnished by Tommaso Cardullo. Dr. Chelsea Shields is a bio-social anthropologist, placebo studies expert, and runs a local consulting business.
In her academic work, Dr. Shields focuses on the evolution and elicitation of the placebo effect outside medical contexts. She coined the concept of social susceptibility to talk about how and why our human bodies have evolved to react, adjust, and adapt to specific social rituals, relationships and communities. Her work also investigates the evolutionary mismatch of modern human hyper-sociality and the health implications of a global, digital, 24/7 social network.
In her professional work, Shields runs a research and strategy business that specializes in qualitative, quantitative, and ethnographic research as well as creative ideation, branding, and user-experience design.
Dr. Shields is also a TED Fellow, 3x TED speaker, and teaches speaker training that is focused on the 90% of communication we never talk about: the non-verbals! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
May everyone be blessed with healthy and positive friendships and relationships ❤️❤️
Is it also by accident that I am an introvert and I hate babies? And guess what, I am super healthy. I live alone with my pet iguana and I couldnt be happier. I wake up, take a walk in the forest, have a nice breakfast and work in a job I love. You dont need others to be happy. Being alone and lonely isnt the same thing so this speech doesnt really apply to everyone.
Exactly, being alone doesn’t means that you are unhealthy. I live with my family and also I spent good time with friends. Having 2-3 friends is good enough.
Nathaniel Luis Yessss. I have only 1 friend that I talk with and I am very happy with my life. I love spending time alone and it is thousand times better than the time I spend with other people. Yes, humans are generally social animals but come on, we are not caveman anymore. We dont need others that much in society. And this woman in this talk is calling me unhealthy. Nobody needs to live that way. Everybody can live however they want. Nobody has to have lots of friends, nobody has to have children, nobody has to love someone.
Thank you for bringing a scientific lens to what I have felt as important. Your message and insights are timely at these unprecedented times of lockdowns and quarantines. The dimension of social health isn’t something that I had recognized, but now I am aware. I will be checking in on my and my loved ones’ social health. Thank you for an enlightening talk.
Message to the thousands of people who watched this, took "the test", failed miserably and uttered to themself, "I am dead": I am with you! Living alone, with circumstances and a personality that makes it challenging/impossible to have close friends or even regular social interactions. I wasn't always this way, but over the years close fiends died or moved away and were not replaced, so here I am. I have a game plan to improve my social interaction but in the meantime, he's what I do to try and mitigate the negative health effects caused by social isolation...... #1 is meditation. I use 2 different types, solo and guided. Both seems to help a lot. The guided meditation is probably more valuable since the voice of another human, speaking the right words in helpful ways calms the soul and helps me feel a bit more connected. Both forms of meditation provide stress relief which is important and IMO one of the major negative side effects of social isolation. My guess is that someday the science will tell us that it was the stress associated with minimal social interaction that caused multiple health issues. I think just being around people works great for stress reduction, unless they're a bunch of jerks of course. #2 is exercise. There's some hormones released during exercise that IMO produce benefits similar to social interaction. This is totally anecdotal, not scientific. I just feel better after exercise in the same way I feel better after a few hours with family or friends. Okay, I'm done. Be your own best friend....if you're alone a lot and think it's harmful, do stuff similar to what I suggest and also make an effort to reach out and connect. This is what a good friend would suggest!
true
i have problems with social space, those are feeling unneeded and some more awful emotions. i knew that our behavior is going from our social networks but i never knew how to find good friends. and it's pretty difficult for me to stay in touch in the internet, i literally prefer real life. i live in a big city but as for me i live in a city of the same ghosts.
i wish everyone who felt or feels all that find the way out. it's possible, the most important thing is to keep going on. and one more advice is to be ready that your best friend will be gone one day. i don't mean only death, humans' personalities are changeable.
be(come) happy, unknown friends
💕
same i'm living the exact same situation as u and it's kinda new nd weird tho but no matter what i'm sure that i'll get over it
Reliability isn't the same as friendship.
this is so necessary, even more now in this pandemic time. we care so much about practical methods to take care of ourselves and we don't pay attention to the simple and important things, like human interaction. thank you!
Everybody loves being surrounded by people. Even the introverts،، like me!! But in our case we just love to be around the right ones, and that's what i realize this days, so I started giving random people a chance and try to know them before i decide to ignore them anyway
I have tried a lot to be with people but they are fake they enjoy to destroy other as still now I have been destroyed by my society every time .
@@musaritrashid2517 yeah. To be honest with you if you want to live happiness you should know that life is a misery, and humans are evel in their nature, based on that you won't get hurt anymore.
@@soufianeammou5132 yes
Wowww, thank you so much ขอบพระคุณครับ :)
Wow! a mazing presentation. From her voice to her skill and her knowledge is so attractive and meanful. Thanks Dr a lots
Amazing! Thankyou for sharing this.
No, actually what we eat and how much we exercise is something we can actually control....we cannot fully control other people's decisions to want or not want/resolve to love you or be a part of your support system in the way that you need. Nutrition and exercise does not have to depend on others....we know social health is important, but many of us feel almost powerless.
Truly said
Great job!
thank you
Really very important topic❤️❤️❤️
Great speech! Deserved more views imo.
Thank you 😊
Just the way joey says.. The giving loving sharing lol
Thank you for sharing :)
I feel like she’s going to scold me afterwards
Agreed 😂
Wow I’m in the red. This explains a lot for me.
I’m in danger lmao
Sensible. But seems like extroverts and introverts might be having different experiences with this.
Agreed, as a introvert it makes me cringe when making friends irl. I have about three irl friends? I'm happy with them despite me not talking to often. I have about two more online and couldn't be happier.
She talks like the schools bully popular girl that is bullying you while speaking nicely at the same time
wow I thought this video would have more views
Yeah that's the hope many people know that I m going to study and I m studying for SSC schsl then they don't support me just ignornig and never giving me chance as I m given them chance of 50 percent but they don't want to listen me I listen them but they don't know they know my hope but they just ignornig and torchering me.
Inverts be like 😅
It looks like I will never be in the green zone :')
Ha ha :') same, do you wanna be friends? I love dragons, anime, and alot of Pokemon
omg I’m in the red zone..
I had 5 quantity and 3 quality friends.
So you need 6 good friends to be safe. Very questionable. I think 2 really close ones suffice surely.
She did say she just invented this because there wasn't a way to measure it. I'm sure she knows it isn't perfect. She hit the nail on the head though! I am going through some rough mental stuff and this totally makes sense and fits me. I agree it is unlikely for someone to have that many close friends. I am in danger . Not only based on this chart? but based on what I have been feeling and thinking lately. Have a great day.
@@azpacfansame
I only have fb friends .
"Like 15 cigarettes a days" tiaaa, 5000 cigarette a day maybe 😂
I am in the red zone definitely and I don't know what to do about it. I get ostracized at work and at the gym and I get no responses from women on dating sites. She's right about the danger of it all. The VA therapists I had just rode the clock and nothing changed. The last one I had said my problems were the result of my genetic defects. So I'm done. The only silver lining is I owe allegiance to no one and I am free.
i am at 1x1 or 0x0 :D and i am ok with that :D
Danger 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
5:51 me who has none: well then...
Edit: ok guess i'll die
I honestly have 3 people 🤣
With that hair cut, and outfit, I felt trapped between,
" Back to the Future ", and an episode of
" Star Trek " !
Because I doubt any man has ever,
" Boldly gone there before " !
🤭👍
You are adorable
Surprise!!!
Babies stink???
Cuz you’re not the mum
ヘロイン崇拝は禁止ですです
She has crazy eyes 😂❤
Digital does matter, it’s not the same interaction
I wonder how this is impacted by being an introvert vs extrovert and those that struggle with toxic independence.
that set looks sweet. i agree social health is important, but digital socializing is a poor replacement. the challenge is how do we make new social connections in a "distant" world? IDK maybe its not so distant, try waving.
I mean I have fun talking to people online. We can share memes. We don't have to look decent to talk. I'm equally happy with my animals
