      INTRODUCTION

      Nearly everyone on the planet earth has some form of social life or social circle. One of the fundamental features of that is social interaction which is the way people act when communicating and speaking with other people.

      Every person alive, whether they want to admit it or not, needs to interact daily with other people. Typically, they communicate and interface with others every single day in a wide range of situations such as work, school, at the park, and anywhere else people are present.

      When it comes to the social order, one of the major prerequisites for any kind of society is that there must be an effective social interaction. For a person to feel alive, he or she also needs to interact and engage in conversations with other people.

      Since social interaction is a major feature of our social lives, sociologists specializing in microsociology devoted many hours trying to understand the various aspects of social life. They analyzed how a varying group of people interacted with others and tried to determine why they would act differently with different people.

      When it comes to social interaction, there are many aspects included making social communication diverse for every person on an individual level. This means that every person has her or his own ways of interacting while there are some core expectations present when it comes to behaving in an appropriate way.

      Moreover, social interaction is every single manner including intermingling with other people. It can be both verbal and non-verbal communication. It can be the interpretation of your body language and many other non-verbal means of communicating leading to the socialization results from social interaction.

      Social interaction as one of the integral parts of our social lives plays one of the most important roles when it comes to interacting, communicating and building meaningful relationships with other people.

      Before we get deeper into the topic of small talk and tips you can embrace to boost any interaction you have with other people, there are some aspects of social interaction, socialization and other fundamentals of social life that should be discussed. This will help you get an idea of what social interaction really is, so you can properly improve your social image, start conversations with anyone, anytime without fear or timidity.

      WHAT IS SOCIAL INTERACTION?

      There are several very similar definitions of social interaction. One of them states that social interaction is a very dynamic, ever-changing sequence of different social actions happening between groups or individuals who change their reactions and actions due to those actions of their interaction partners.

      Another shorter definition of social interaction explains that social interactions include all actions or influences among different participants of the same social situation. Moreover, social interaction can be explained as any type of interaction which occurs between two or more individuals that are typically mediated by the presences of technological artifacts.

      Social interaction is also any type of communication between two or more individuals making social interaction one of the major society foundations. Social interaction also can be explained as any type of dynamic social actions which occur between two or more speech participants.

      Moreover, social interaction can be both nonverbal and verbal type of communications including mutual actions and influences of all participants of some social situations.

      Social interaction can also refer to the frequency with which individuals get together in a social aspect with family
