The Benefits of Social Connection
Social connection plays a crucial role in enhancing happiness, even for those who identify as introverts. Research consistently shows that engaging with others leads to greater levels of well-being, as more social interaction generally makes people happier. Interestingly, both introverts and extroverts gain happiness from socializing, although introverts often perceive these interactions as anxiety-inducing and exhausting. This misperception can result in introverts avoiding social situations, ultimately leading to diminished happiness due to a lack of social connections.
