Scenario:
Research shows that friends are actually even more important to our
psychological welfare. Friends bring more happiness into our lives than
virtually anything else.
 
Friendships have a huge impact on your mental health and happiness.
Good friends relieve stress, provide comfort and joy, and prevent
loneliness and isolation. Developing close friendships can also have a
powerful impact on your physical health. Lack of social connection may
pose as much of a risk as smoking, drinking too much, or leading a
sedentary lifestyle. Friends are even tied to longevity. One Swedish study
found that, along with physical activity, maintaining a rich network of
friends can add significant years to your life.
 
 
But close friendships don’t just happen. Many of us struggle to meet
people and develop quality connections. Whatever your age or
circumstances, though, it’s never too late to make new friends,
reconnect with old ones, and greatly improve your social life, emotional
health, and overall well-being.
