human interaction
Conversation and contact
Human interaction is contact between people—conversation, collaboration, physical presence, or any exchange where humans engage directly with one another.
The term often appears in contexts where such contact is notably present or absent: The job requires constant human interaction.
It frequently contrasts with solitary activities or technology-mediated communication: I work from home and miss the human interaction.
