I think that this is one of the lessons from the pandemic as well. A lot of people have underestimated the meaning and impact of loosely coupled/superficial relationships. The small conversations we could have with co-workers and strangers that was impossible because of lock-down or which was avoided to keep contact to a minimum.

I know that some people prefer to keep to themselves, but as this study also underlines, the majority of people are social creatures and we thrive on interactions - even with strangers.
