Question
Oxytocin production has significant implications for social behavior and mental health. It is linked to the formation of strong social alliances and trust. Strategies to stimulate oxytocin production are often related to our relationships with others. This can include building trust with animals, large crowds, and digital friendships, setting up small stepping stones of trust in a relationship, working to be trustworthy yourself, and creating a trust verification system. Additionally, physical activities like getting a massage can stimulate oxytocin production. Increased oxytocin can lead to improved social interactions and potentially better mental health.
