The Importance of Social Connections and Making Friends
Having friends is important for everyone, but the number of friends needed for a fulfilling life varies. Some people are content with just one or two close friends, while others prefer a larger social network. What matters is finding the right balance that works for you. Studies have shown that having at least one solid relationship is essential. Those who actively maintained and grew their friendships made a conscious effort to change their social routines and seek out opportunities to meet new people. Finding common interests and participating in activities you enjoy with like-minded individuals increases the chances of forming meaningful connections. So, take a look at your life and identify any barriers preventing you from making new friends. Then, make an effort to engage in activities or join groups where you can meet people with similar interests. By doing so, you'll not only have something to talk about, but you'll also be more likely to develop deeper relationships over time.
