Social interactions can help our brains grow and improve how we think. However, there are some challenges that can make this harder:

• Quality of Interactions: If we have shallow or negative interactions with others, it can hurt brain development instead of helping it.
• Motivation: Staying motivated to engage with others in positive social settings can be tough. Our motivation levels can change a lot.
• Individual Differences: Everyone is different, and things like personal situations and mental health can affect how much we benefit from socializing.

To make it easier to enjoy these benefits, we can focus on building strong connections and creating regular opportunities to socialize.
