Highlighting the significance of social connections for our well-being is crucial. However, it's essential to clarify that when we refer to social connection, we're not talking about the virtual interactions often found on social media, such as profile pictures, likes, and dislikes. We're emphasizing the genuine and meaningful in-person connections and their paramount importance.
It's vital to nurture and value these connections because they are intrinsically linked to our overall well-being. It's worth noting that loneliness, regardless of whether we recognize it or not, has been scientifically linked to a significantly increased mortality rate, much like the health risks associated with smoking 15 cigarettes per day.
