Social Network

A social network is individual: the relationships that are meaningful to each person form their own network. The network does not have to be large; what matters is that it suits you and brings joy. Life situations shape our networks, and it is natural for some relationships to last while others fade over time.

A network that suits you supports well-being. Sometimes, relationships need to be evaluated—one-sided or draining relationships consume energy, whereas good relationships enhance well-being.

Do not be afraid to ask for help and rely on others. In difficult situations, it is beneficial to turn to close ones and friends, as their support can make challenges easier to overcome.
