Social health refers to an individual's ability to interact with others and form relationships, as well as the health of society in terms of how people interact and treat one another. It is one of the three fundamental forms of health, along with physical and mental health. Social health deals with how well a person can socialize, make and keep friends, and have positive relationships. Strong social ties are important for both individual and societal well-being, as isolation can negatively impact physical and mental health, and conflict within a society is a sign of poor social health. Developing social skills over one's lifetime through experiences helps to promote good social health.

1. Social

2. Social health is a term generally used to refer to two different concepts,
though they are somewhat interrelated as well. In one sense it refers to
the health of a person in reference to his or her ability to interact with
others and thrive in social settings. It can also refer to the health of a
society in general, and how the members of that society are treated and
behave toward each other. This type of health is often considered of great
importance in regards to individual health, especially as further
information and research has established how social interactions can
assist in improving other forms of health.
Along with physical health and mental health, social health forms the last
of the three fundamental and vital forms of health for a person. Physical
and mental health typically deal with an individual and how well his or
her body and mind are functioning and keeping his or her various systems
running properly. Social health, on the other hand, often indicates how
that person interacts with other people, as well as the consequences or
benefits of such interactions in relation to the well-being of that person.
While it is still heavily invested in individual health, it also considers the
interconnected nature of society in general.
Interaction with the people.

3. Social health often deals with how people relate to each other, and how an
individual is able to socialize with other people and form relationships. This can
deal with friendships, in terms of how well the person can form and keep
friendships, and other types of relationships as well. There are a number of ways in
which the different aspects of health are interrelated and have an impact on each
other. For example, the study of human sexuality often deals with all three types
of health in understanding how people relate to each other and how sexuality
manifests for an individual and affects the relationships that individual has with
others.
There is also evidence to indicate that isolation is not only a potential result of
mental or physical illness, but may also cause or aggravate such an illness. This is
why social health has become of increasing importance within the greater overall
concept of human health and well-being. Many mental and
physical health professionals have begun to recognize the importance of social
interaction in a person’s ability to overcome illness.
The term can also refer to the health of a society, and is often used to indicate how
the people within a given society or culture interact and behave toward each other.
In this sense, a country that is rife with conflict and violence may be considered to
be suffering from social issues. Just as a person whose body is suffering from
cancerous cells destroying healthy cells has a physical health issue, and the jargon
of physical or mental health care may be used in reference to society as well.

4. All through life we have experiences that help
us to develop good Social Health, (the ability to
form meaningful relationships with other
people and to be able to work comfortably in a
group). These abilities make a big difference in
how enjoyable life can be. As we move through
life we have experiences that teach us more
about developing the different types of
relationships in our life.

Interaction
1
Identify your
hesitancy. Why
aren't you
interacting with
people now? Are
you interacting
with people but
feel like you're
doing it wrong? If
you can identify
the problem, it will
go a long way
towards helping
you overcome it. In
the meantime, try
the advice below.

7. STEP 2
2
Overcome
your social
anxiety. For
many people,
interacting with
others is
stressful. If you
get worried
about talking to
people, you
may want to
focus on coping
with your
anxiety first.

8. STEP 3
3
Believe in
yourself. If you
are afraid that you
will fail to make
friends, or that
you will constantly
upset people,
you're going to
have a very hard
time interacting
with others.
Believe in yourself
and you will find
interactions
getting easier and
easier.

9. STEP 4
4
Build your self-
esteem. If you
spend a bunch of
time thinking that
no one will want to
talk with you
because they're so
much better than
you are, you'll miss
out on a wonderful
world of
interaction! Spend
some time realizing
how amazing you
are and you'll see
the world in a
different light.

10. STEP 5
5
Be confident. Lack
of self-confidence
can make it really
hard to interact
with people, often
because others
sense that you are
not confident and
that makes them
nervous. Build your
self-confidence or
at least learn how
to fake it in order to
make others like
you more.

11. STEP 6
6
Practice. As with
any skill (and
social interaction
is definitely a skill),
you can get better
at it by practicing.
Practice your social
skills by using
them as much as
possible. You can
start by interacting
with family
members or even
just strangers that
you see, like
grocers and bank
tellers.
