The importance of keeping in touch with people

Humans are sociable, therefore, people like having the company of other people to talk about their life’s issues and to share their feelings and thoughts with someone else. In my opinion it’s very important to keep in touch with people, not only because it is our nature, but also because it’s good for keeping our minds healthy and not having physiological problems. Moreover, there are lots of stories about people who have been alone for a long time as a consequence of a catastrophe, such as a shipwrecked survivor on an isolated island (more common: a desert island), and they end up developing a strange behavior. These are the reasons I think people need to be in touch with their family, friends and to meet new people.

Nowadays keeping in touch with people is easier than before. Thanks to new technology, we can send messages through the social media to people all over the world, and they will receive these messages in a few seconds. But not only messages, we can also share pictures and live videos, having the possibility of watching the person you are talking to.

Some decades ago it was unimaginable, and it took a long time to communicate with someone, even more if the person was living in another country. I’ve been living (or I have lived) in different countries and I know firsthand how much do I miss my family and friends when I'm far away from home and the importance of keeping in touch with the people you care about. It is because of that I find the social media absolutely necessary to keep in touch with the people I love.

Extremely well written Veronica! Just a few minor corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural in blue/grey.

"developing a strange behavior" - This refers to one single strange behavior, such as talking to a tree.

"developing strange behavior" - This refers to strange behavior in general, so it could be many different types of strange behavior.
