Men look strong like mountains, but many men lack a sense of security inside them. A study shows that those who distrust others, fear rejection, or feel insecure about their relationships can increase the risk of stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
A study has shown that people who distrust others, fear rejection, or feel insecure about their relationships can increase their risk of developing diseases such as stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
Researchers were initially surprised by the results, as research on the link between interpersonal relationships and health originally focused on pain related diseases such as arthritis rather than cardiovascular diseases.
Researcher Lachlan McWilliams of the University of Acadia in Canada pointed out that because such insecurities typically develop during childhood, the results of this study also confirm many previous research findings that bad childhood experiences can have a series of adverse effects on mental and physical health as adults.
The study analyzed three types of people facing interpersonal relationships, namely, safety type, avoidance type, and anxiety type.
Through a survey of 5645 adults aged 18 to 60, the researchers found that:. Avoidant people are prone to arthritis, headaches, and cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart disease, while safe people do not have health problems associated with them.
