The message above says it all. Anyone wants to start with suggesting a few long words to start the ball rolling.

BBbevan ditto ?. Seems you've "done" that one too Aglassofroseplease I referred to Constantinople on the make words out of caterpillar thread. There's a lot of words that can be made out of Constantinople. Not my suggestion here though since it appears too many of us have already had practice on it.
Flicking through a thesaurus at random the word I "landed on" was intersocial so my suggestion is:
Intersocial.
