Question

What are the benefits of social interaction?

Answer 1

The learning experience

Answer 2

You develope a sense of who you are as a human.

When you interact with a person or persons you do two things, you either tell yourself "I don't want to be like these people" and you quit being around them and base yourself off what they are not...

or you tell yourself "I enjoy these people, we understand eachother" and you continue to be with them. Having friends keeps you from going crazy and being lonely, it provides a sense of belonging and comfort. Feeling like you belong is a natural instinct and need of humans.
