I will admit I'm partially writing people handwritten cards, and being as nice as I can to everyone I can think of, in the hopes that a) they will feel just a little happier and not feel loneliness, and b) that cosmically somehow all that paying attention to other people will come back to me in spades later.
Of course, doing random friendly things hoping they'll like me better is a little self-serving. But most things we do as humans involve at least SOME level of looking out for self-interest. It still feels good to battle sad feelings by telling someone else that they're a good friend/kind/fun/talented/whatever. Better than wallowing, for sure.
