Social Interaction

Social interactions can be differentiated into:

accidental (also known as Social Contact ) - not planned and likely not repeated. For example, asking a stranger for directions or shopkeeper for product availability.

repeated - not planned, bound to happen from time to time. For example, accidentally meeting a neighbour from time to time when walking on your street;

regular - not planned, but very common, likely to raise questions when missed. Meeting a doorman or a security guard every workday in your workplace, dining every day in the same restaurant, etc.

regulated - planned and regulated by customs or law, will definitely raise questions when missed. Interaction in a workplace (coming to work, staff meetings, playing a Game , etc.), family, etc.
