shopping is loneliness

Oh, good grief.

"Findings from a new study show when we're feeling blue and socially isolated, we shop. Shopping, meanwhile, makes us even more depressed and alone. To fix it, we shop—and the vicious cycle continues."

Or, maybe, possibly, we shop because we need groceries and other stuff? Or does the article mean browsing and window shopping?

I think they mean retail therapy, actually. ( aka, buying things for the sake of buying them)
