gregariousness
Love of company
Gregariousness is the quality of enjoying and seeking out the company of others.
A gregarious person thrives in social settings, readily striking up conversations and drawing energy from crowds rather than solitude: Her gregariousness made her a natural hostess.
The term can also describe animals that live in flocks or herds rather than alone.
