Humans, in general, are social beings. They like to live, grow, and survive in social groups. Isolation from other fellow humans can have adverse effects on them both physically and mentally. Making social connections in life is essential for all of us.

To have better physical health, we need to connect and live in an environment with other people around us. Living alone can deteriorate your physical health and lead to many problems like obesity, hypertension, or even drug addiction.

Social connections help us communicate, share thoughts and ideas, and socially bond with other human beings. These relationships and social relations are also helpful in boosting our mental health. They provide us a sense of belonging, and a feeling of being loved increases our happiness levels, reduces stress and enhances self-confidence and motivation.
- Leads to Self-Motivation
With better mental and physical health, your work quality and performance are automatically improved. You are socially liable for your duties and responsibilities and make extra efforts to fulfill them. It also creates a sense of competition.
