Social Connection

Overview

Social connection is a state of inner safety where communication becomes natural and attention turns outward instead of being trapped in self-control. In this state, tension decreases, stiffness fades, and a feeling of “being with people, not apart from them” appears.

This is not about losing boundaries. It is about gently lowering inner defense so contact feels warm and alive.

• a sense of internal security is present

During emotional overload or deep fatigue, the experience may shift toward inner quiet rather than outward interaction.
