9 Benefits of Socializing

9 Benefits of Socializing

© Gaia Retreat & Spa, Australia

Just imagine what would happen if you were made to stay all alone at some place for a long period of time without any kind of interactions with people? Any normal person would be exhausted of the loneliness. The reason behind this is that humans are social animals and they love living amidst people.

In today’s modern world, things are changing and machines are overpowering us making us more gadget-dependent. People are interacting with one another in the virtual world and real time interactions have become rare. People communicate with each other via social media platforms, chat messages and special apps on their smartphones. But face-to-face interaction is becoming something of the past.

Society on the whole is suffering. Socializing with people is a very healthy habit. Various research studies are being carried out to understand the value and importance of socializing with striking results regarding a wholesome human development. People who have been brought up in a lonely ambience tend to develop more problems as they grow up than people who have been brought up amidst lots of social contact.

It is high time that you shun your smartphone for a while, do away with interacting on virtual media spaces and get down to real things in life. Go out, meet people, and see how direct interactions and socializing can change your worldview and your overall wellbeing.

 

Here are the 9 most important benefits of real-time socializing:

  • Helps in building positive and constructive relationships via the real social networks that are formed.
  • Socializing plays a pivotal role in improving overall growth and development of an individual.
  • As per Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin by SAGE, socializing enhances mental functioning, as the mind is kept occupied with real thoughts.
  • Stress and anxiety levels can be reduced to a great extent. Solutions to problems may be found in dialogue.
  • It provides great opportunity to understand various kinds of people, their mannerisms, personalities, thought processes and so on. Socializing develops better understanding of human perspectives and attributes.
  • Socializing is a great tool for development of self-confidence and giving your self-esteem the required boost. It kicks out shyness and hesitance from an individual making him ready to face the world in a smart manner.
  • It provides happiness and joy when you meet your family and friends in real rather that online life, as you can share issues and emotions more explicitly.
  • Socializing is a great way of giving and getting emotional, physical and spiritual support. Even if you are feeling upset with something, friends and family can help you overcome the difficult period with ease. They can cheer you up, provide the required encouragement and bring back your lost zeal and enthusiasm.
  • As per BUPA, socializing reduces risks of various kinds of ailments. Research reports have shown that socializing can help in preventing age related cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.

 

The human connection

There is no denying the fact that chats, social media, emails and video calls are highly convenient modes of remaining connected to friends and family, but they lack human touch. Human connection is vital for a beneficial society. 

Many older people are now reaching out to technology to keep pace with the younger generation. But in spite of all these efforts, there is a gap that remains to be bridged, which can only be done by human contact.

Walking together, playing games, mentoring, tutoring, getting involved in volunteering jobs, joining discussions in real time, going to movies, going for picnic and excursions or short trips – these are some simple ways of socializing. Ram up your social life and you will understand the crucial difference that makes.

    Socializing among elderly helps in resorting a sense of purpose among elder, while at the same time meeting other people and engaging with them in fruitful conversation gives them something meaningful to look forward to every day. Thus, socializing helps elderly people in gaining a sense of fulfillment. Elderly people living in senior care facilities possess a much better opportunity for socializing with other people of their age.

    Is there a source page for this article? The mention of “various research studies” was thrown in there sort of nonchalantly (lol, is that a word?). Anyways, I’m writing a pretty decent sized paper for class about a very similar topic and could use some sources.

    I get exhausted around others and hate crowded rooms. Socializing is hard for some of us, but I would also say if you would like to socialize. Take a painting class, any type of class. Whatever your interested in. Join a club or go paint balling. Not everyone has a common interest, but common interests can be made and built upon. Have fun.

    “Just imagine what would happen if you were made to stay all alone at some place for a long period of time without any kind of interactions with people? Any *normal* person would be exhausted of the loneliness.”

    Who are you to say what is normal? I would be exhausted by being around people all of the time. You may not hear about this much because of the inherent nature of people that don’t interact with others not saying it all of the time, but it’s incorrect to believe that it is a rare thing due to that. It’s a form of survival bias. The data you don’t see is thrown out or ignored and you’re left with a false conclusion.
