The Problem with Connection
Connection—especially with people we don’t already know—has become tainted, taboo, and even something to fear and avoid altogether.
What if we upset someone or bother them? What if we’re drawn into a conversation that feels fake, transactional, or impossible to escape? These interactions often leave us feeling uneasy, wondering, Why even bother connecting with others at all?
Over time, this kind of transactional connection—driven by ulterior motives—has become the norm. It’s made us wary of reaching out, hesitant to make eye contact, and more likely to keep to ourselves. After all, it feels safer to avoid connection than to risk being drawn into uncomfortable—or even unsafe—situations where we feel pressured, guilty, or worse.
But here’s the problem: we’ve forgotten that connection, in its purest form, is actually a very good thing.
The Solution: Connection for Connection’s Sake
At Human Connection Is Good, we believe that connection doesn’t have to be complicated, transactional, or fear-inducing. It can be as simple as saying hello, sharing a smile, or reaching out to someone just because.
We’re here to remind that connection in itself is good. It’s not about changing others or fulfilling a checklist. It’s about the warmth of a smile, the comfort of a shared moment, and the ripple effect of small, genuine gestures. When we connect simply to connect, we enrich not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us.
Our Story
Human Connection Is Good, was born from a wish to see the world as it could be: a place where human connection is celebrated, and embraced instead of feared and used as a way to manipulate people as a means to an end.
We realized that somewhere along the way, connection has become tangled with ulterior motives. People began to fear reaching out to strangers, worried about saying the wrong thing or making someone uncomfortable. Eye contact became rare, and interactions with others were often reserved for moments of need—asking for favors, money, or other things out of alignment. This shift left us feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. We saw how genuine connection had been replaced by transactional relationships, leaving people feeling used, unseen, and undervalued.
But we also saw the solution: a return to connection for connection’s sake. We envisioned a world where people could smile at strangers, strike up conversations, and reach out to friends—not because they needed something, but simply because connection is good for the soul.
Our Mission
We exist to remind people that connection in itself is good. Through our designs, our words, and our actions, we aim to inspire a world where connection is celebrated as the life-affirming act it truly is.
Our Vision
We envision a world where connection is no longer feared or avoided but embraced as a source of joy, fulfillment, and belonging. A world where people feel free to connect with strangers, friends, and loved ones without hesitation or hidden agendas.
By spreading this message, we believe we can create a ripple effect—one smile, one conversation, one moment of genuine connection at a time. Together, we can build a happier, more connected, and more fulfilling world.
