5 Ways To Be Social During Social Distancing

For many people, the lack of social interaction during this time can be very stressful and even upsetting. Never fear! You don’t always need to leave the house to be social. Here are some easy ways to be social during social distancing:

Give your pets some extra love

Animals can help with stress. We all know this. They’re also great company, and can provide social interaction when you need it most!

FaceTime

Or Zoom. Or Skype. Or Facebook Messenger Video. Or any other kind of video chat!

Seeing the faces of your loved ones can be like a social interaction patch. They might not be really in front of you, but it helps to see them rather than just hear their voices or read their messages.

Old-fashioned Phone Calls

Whaaaat? Talking on the phone? Yes, m’am.
