What does connect socially mean?
Broadly defined, “social connectedness” (also referred to as “social connection”) is a state of feeling close (or “connected”) to another person or other people. This includes feeling cared about by others (and caring about others), as well as a feeling of belonging to a group or community
How to connect socially with people?
Express gratitude to others. Volunteer with an organization. Get involved in your community. Expand and diversify your social network by making a new acquaintance or friend, especially someone who might be different from you.
Overview. Social connections are the relationships you have with the people around you. They may be close, like family, friends, and co-workers. Or they may be more distant, like people you know casually. They can be as close as next door or so far away that you only connect with them by phone or online.
The idea of social connection is to share your time, experiences and stories with people, and to also listen to them. Gradually, you will build a group of people in your life who care about you, and who you also care about. Both your mind and body will reap the rewards.
