[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you have any attachment figures? A spouse or a sibling? Studies show that Openness, a Big Five trait, tends to decrease as we get older. As people get older, we are less likely to seek new friendships, or “waste time” on developing new ones and be more conservative with our beliefs. In the beginning of life, we are selective to whom we are attached, and also this is the case as we approach later adulthood. If you are lonely at this stage of your life, you are more prone to developing depression, so make sure you have social support around you and you are nurturing close relationships.[/quote]
