Research indicates a correlation between increased social media usage, reduced in-person interactions, and declining mental health. To counteract this trend, experts suggest practical ways to reinvigorate one’s social connections. Engaging in spontaneous acts of generosity, like treating a friend to a meal, can help maintain and deepen friendships. Another approach involves assisting friends with personal projects or joining them in learning new skills, which fosters bonding through shared experiences. By actively supporting others’ aspirations, individuals can not only enhance their relationships but also experience the psychological benefits associated with helping others.
