SOCIALIZING UPGRADES ENERGY LEVELS

   

 

 

When you're sociable, you're willing to talk and be friendly with other people. At a party, it's a good idea to be sociable and make new friends rather than standing off in a corner by yourself.

 Social connectedness influences our minds, bodies, and behaviors—all of which influence our health and life expectancy. Research shows that social connectedness can lead to longer life, better health, and improved well-being.

 Socializing can reduce symptoms of depression by decreasing feelings of loneliness, isolation and anxiety. Research shows your body releases endorphins during positive social contact, similar to the physical response after a hard workout, which gives a boost of happiness, while reducing stress.

When people are socially connected and have stable and supportive relationships, they are more likely to make healthy choices and to have better mental and physical health outcomes. They are also better able to cope with hard times, stress, anxiety, and depression.

 Some people, such as extroverts, get their energy from social interactions. Therefore, when they feel low in energy, they may choose to spend time with others.

 Extroversion is a personality trait typically characterized by outgoingness, high energy, and/or talkativeness. In general, the term refers to a state of being where someone “recharges,” or draws energy, from being with other people.

 The benefits of social connections and good mental health are numerous. Proven links include lower rates of anxiety and depression, higher self-esteem, greater empathy, and more trusting and cooperative relationships.

 Being accepted into a group and spending time with people helps keep loneliness at bay. We need to feel that we're not alone. Gives us a feeling of self-worth: Being accepted and called a friend, reinforces the conviction that you are a good person with value.

Thus a larger or longer lasting social battery suggests that a person has lots of energy for socializing. It may take a long time for them to feel tired, so they do not need to recharge that frequently. In fact, they may get energy from socializing.
