Why is it so difficult to live without touching a human being?
Although most of us can still see our loved ones and talk to them, we can't touch their presence because we can't see them.
Celebrations like birthdays are now being celebrated on video calls, elderly people talking to their neighbors through windows, while people living alone have no contact with anyone because they live at home and others. Are complying with government guidelines for keeping a social distance of two meters from.
Professor Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at Oxford University, says that "touch" is very important to humans and that its absence weakens our close relationship.
"Touching more closely, such as hugging, putting your arms around your shoulders, or patting someone on the arm, is usually done with close friends and family," he said. And these touching touches are really important. "
Touching someone makes us feel happy, satisfied and confident.
Touch is our first sensation in the womb and research has shown that physical contact with others can reduce the effects of stress.
Professor Dunbar says humans need physical contact because we belong to the higher order of animals.
"Animals belonging to the higher order of animals are very social, possibly the most social of all the animals on this planet," he said. They form such relationships and friendships with each other through social interaction and growing up on a social level. Animals still do this by rubbing their bodies. And that's why we (humans) still do that today. "
"By touching, tickling, hugging and tapping each other, humans perform the same movements that trigger the same neurons. It stimulates the chemical endorphins that cause good feelings and diminishes the feeling of pain in the brain.
"It's terrible."

Robin Mande is one of the millions living alone during this lockdown.
Robin, 57, from Victoria, Australia, said: "I'm a hug, I hug everyone. I have many friends with whom I hug, I also hug my children. I think that's the thing I miss the most. "
When asked how long she can live without being affected by the lack of physical contact, she replied, "I know it is already having an effect. Just thinking about it makes me emotional, "he said, holding back tears." But I know we all have to do it.

It's terrible
"It's terrible. I really miss it. I didn't think I would miss it so much. I probably feel it more because I came to the house where I live now in November and since then I have always had one or the other child at home with me. This is a really bad time. I like to be alone I like loneliness but I have always been in touch with people.
Anita Byrne, 47, from Norwich, describes herself as "socially upright." And she says that because she has worked in the beauty industry for many years.
She says you don't feel like losing anything until it is taken away from you. He said this in the background of touching and touching others.
She usually hugs her friends, lies on the couch with her children and even strangers to celebrate the goal while she is supporting her local football club Norwich City. Hug
Anita, who works as a patient assistant at the UK's Department of Health, says: "I didn't realize how much I would miss this kind of contact with people. This is a real struggle now. Sometimes when the pressure of work is too much, at the end of the day you want to put your arms around someone, but now you can't. Last evening I wanted someone to be present. Sometimes a hug is more powerful than a thousand words. "It's just like touching someone once, but sometimes it's very meaningful."
People who have become grandparents are most at risk in the current situation and are living completely indoors. Such elderly people have also expressed grief over not embracing their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Janine Stone says it's "devastating" that she can't take her granddaughter Grace, who was born in Derby during the lockdown.
"It's a wonderful feeling to see a new baby in my family, but they can't touch and love it and can't take their first picture with their newborn granddaughter," she says
"The world seems to be in a cold seal."
A man from Chester, who did not want to be named, said his family was "very kind and compassionate" and that he missed the feeling of embracing someone in his family. Are doing
"When all sorts of madness started and there was a lack of buying and selling, I shared my toilet roll with the woman who took care of my neighbor," he says. He started crying and I hugged him and couldn't say don't worry, everything will be fine. I could only shake my hand across the fence. The world seems to be in the throes of a cold snap. "
"While some cultures are more embracing and shaking hands than others, touching is important for all of us," said Professor Dunbar World at One program.
"We did a survey of countries from Russia in the north to Britain in the south, Italy in the south, and Japan, and we found that all humans basically touch the same part of the body," he said. ۔ There are only a few minor differences. Needless to say, the Italians are all hugs and kisses and the British are a little bit isolated.
"It's really interesting how people touch each other imperceptibly.
But we can reap the benefits of partial distance physical contact, says Professor Dunbar.
"Laughing and making people laugh and of course singing are great ways to stimulate the indoor art system," he says. But in the end, the need for a close relationship, like a crying friend's shoulder, I think depends on eye-to-eye and physical contact.
As a caregiver, Daniel Cahill was going to meet a socially isolated 91-year-old woman when he was filmed for One's Panorama. At the time, he said, "I think when this work is over, everyone will hug each other hard."
