In their experiment, researchers recruited 229 people, and measured their rates of loneliness and self-centeredness over 10 years. They discovered that if the participants' loneliness ratings increased, they tended to score higher on measures of self-centeredness, too.

Loneliness has already been linked to a whole host of ill effects—in fact, social isolation may be just as harmful to your health as obesity, smoking, alcohol abuse, and high blood pressure, as we reported. But it’s also possible it could affect your personality in a way that may actually make your loneliness worse, which is what researchers wanted to test in this new study. In their experiment, researchers recruited 229 people, and measured their rates of loneliness and self-centeredness over 10 years. They discovered that if the participants’ loneliness ratings increased, they tended to score higher on measures of self-centeredness, too. Problem is, the rise in self-centeredness also predicted further jumps in loneliness, suggesting a cycle between the two: Increasing loneliness increases selfishness, and more the self-centered you are, the lonelier you tend to become. The mental pain of loneliness serves an evolutionary benefit, the researchers explained in a statement. It warns people to focus on repairing or replacing social connections that just aren’t working—since, if they were isolated, their survival may be in greater jeopardy. (Loneliness can also increase your risk of heart attack or stroke, too.)

Ganser syndrome is a rare and somewhat controversial diagnosis. It was first described by Siegbert Ganser in 1898 and is sometimes called "prison psychosis" because it was first observed in prisoners. With this condition, a person deliberately and consciously acts as if they have a physical or mental illness when they are not really sick. People with Ganser syndrome mimic behavior that is typical of a mental illness, such as schizophrenia. People with factitious disorders act this way because of an inner need to be seen as ill or injured -- not to achieve a clear benefit, such as financial gain. They are even willing to undergo painful or risky tests and operations in order to obtain the sympathy and special attention given to people who are truly ill. Factitious disorders are technically considered mental illnesses because they are associated with severe emotional difficulties. What Are the Symptoms of Ganser Syndrome? People with Ganser syndrome have short-term episodes of odd behavior similar to that shown by people with other serious mental illnesses. The person may appear confused, make absurd statements, and report hallucinations such as the experience of sensing things that are not there or hearing voices. A classic symptom of Ganser syndrome is vorbeireden. This is when the person gives nonsense answers to simple questions. In addition, a person with this condition may report physical problems such as an inability to move part of the body, called "hysterical paralysis." Loss of memory (amnesia) of the events that occurred during an episode is common.
