Getting out and about.
Connecting with others can help us feel close to people and valued for who we are. Being social means different things for different people – you might prefer being in quieter situations with one other person, or you might like being in big groups. Getting out and meeting others even for the shortest time can lift our spirits, even when it’s a struggle.
