Being excluded from a social group makes you feel cold — literally
From Cognitive Daily:
When a person is unfriendly, we often say they’re “cold.” People we like are described as “warm.” One study even found that holding a cup of cold coffee led people to make more negative judgments about another person’s personality (compared to hot coffee). But can it work the other way around — does social exclusion make a person feel colder?
What about auto-exclusion ? Does it cause the same feelings ?
