Reply to comment by Squez360 in To help solve the problem of too much guilt, a recent study found that placebos can reduce feelings of guilt, even when the person taking them knows they’re receiving placebos. by chrisdh79

Honestly I'd suggest you look into volunteering with assisted living facilities. My uncle was in one for years due to his health concerns and the number of lovely people abandoned there is heartbreaking.

You can definitely find some sharp minds and lonely hearts who will live for your visits.

Thank you for this. I spend about 90% of my time alone. I’d love to be able to cheer somebody up. Elderly people can be so witty and charming. I even like the grumpy ones :)
