おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
孤独を感じたときにするべき事について。
たまーに英語や読書や聖書のサークルあるかなぁって探すんだけど、だんだん人間関係面倒になるんだよなあと思うとなかなかねー。
BFF
意味 (くだけて)best friend forever (永遠の親友).
True friendships can take years to develop—which isn’t exactly comforting to the 1 in 3 U.S. adults who say they are lonely right now. But you don’t need to wait for a new BFF to feel better. Small acts can help give you immediate relief from loneliness, experts say. We asked therapists what low-effort steps they take in their own lives when isolation starts to creep in.

えぇ…こんな略語やめてw
like-minded
意味 [通例[名]の前で]考え方 [意見] が似た〈人など〉; 趣味が似た〈人など〉.
When Courtney Morgan, a therapist in Louisville, Ky., wants to be around like-minded people without having to try too hard, she goes to a yoga class. “Sometimes I want to feel connected without actively engaging in a conversation,” she says. She tells her clients to seek out structured programming that they’re interested in, too.

そうよねー趣味や興味くくりでグループ探すのが早いよねえ。
inkling
意味 [C][通例単数形で]＜…についての＞ わずかな自覚, 疑念; ＜…を＞ うすうす知っていること ＜of＞
If Bender is lonely but feels like staying home, she turns to creative hobbies like coloring, journaling, or reading. “They help me connect to myself,” she says. She particularly likes to do these activities while sitting next to her husband: no interaction necessary. Simply being in each other’s presence, she says, is healing, and helps squash any inkling of loneliness.

crave
意味 …を切望する, …が欲しくてたまらない
Spending just 10 minutes interacting with cats and dogs reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol—so it’s no wonder Guilbault seeks out her pups when she craves company. “I find it hard to feel lonely in the presence of animals,” she says. “There’s love there, and there’s loyalty there.”

あー、このcompanyは「仲間、連れ、一緒にいてくれる存在」かー。「会社」の意味で読んじゃって「？？？」だったわw
agility
意味 [U]機敏 (さ), 軽快 (さ), すばやさ.
Plus, pets open the door to social opportunities. After Guilbault enrolled one of her dogs in agility classes, she met a number of acquaintances and made one good friend. She takes her pups on frequent hikes and inevitably sees other people on the trail—helpful on days when she feels lonely but not up to engaging in drawn-out conversations.

あぁー、犬の散歩で挨拶するくらいの関係は確かに楽そうだ。
