 If you speak to someone who has recently relocated, started a new job, or retired, and ask them what they miss most about their past situation?

One of the most common answers is that they miss the people that were in their lives. What that actually means is that they missed the social connection or relationship with those people. 

The lack of social connections has been shown to increase stress hormones, weaken immune system and decreased cardiovascular function. People who are lonely tend to consume drink more alcohol, exercise less, have less quality sleep, and fatigue easily

They're pleased with you. It's a compliment. They want you to be a part of their success, and they know that You have a sincere interest in their lives. And when someone shares a tragedy in their life, You know, they really trust you, and they're looking to you to help them through this difficult time.

Someone that always talks about themselves and makes all of your interactions about them, well, that's not really a social connection. In that case, you're just a spectator to that one person.

Having strong social relationships with a few people is fine, a few people that we can share life's good and bad moments with, a few we can connect with people on a regular basis, with no stress and no judgement. A few People who accept us for who we are. Surround yourself with good people, folks. Good people.
