How do you stay in contact with people? You're not supposed to ever need anything from anyone else, but then there's no other reason to talk to anyone because you have to have a specific reason to do so or you're just wasting their time I guess.

it depends on the person you plan or want to get in contact with. Is it something they are ok with? There really is no general rule against it, it's entirely subjective and relative to the relationship or connection with the other people.
this caught my eye and piqued my curiosity:

I'm curious as to what you base this idea on, where it came from that you think you're never supposed to need anything from anyone else. That's what being friends and family is all about, having someone to support us and we can lean on them from time to time and they willingly give us the support we need.
