Social interaction is essential to your well-being. It’s not
really about the size, but staying connected. It helps to ward off
loneliness which is a state of mind when a person feels isolated,
empty or unwanted. You can feel lonely in a crowded room when you
don’t feel connected to anything.
From the US Surgeon General: social isolation is as bad for
your health as smoking. A rich social network provides sources of
support, reduces stress, combats depression and enhances
intellectual stimulation. Those with the most social interaction
with their community experience the slowest rate of memory
decline.
Steady social contact protects cognitive function as you age.
Good relationships with family, friends, colleagues and in your
community can be a source of inspiration as well as comfort during
periods of physical, professional or personal crisis.
