A key aspect of any healthy and fulfilling relationship is frequent positive interactions. This means, for example, that it's not enough to just be in the same room if everyone in the family has their noses in their screens. In the context of friendship, neither liking a friend's social media post, nor retweeting her tweet, nor sending a group email with New Year's greetings to everyone in your contact list counts: this is communication with minimal effort, and it involves low emotional return.
