Why friendship is important
Friends can put us to the test, befuddle us, and make us wonder why we bother. Friendship, on the other hand, is just as important for our health as proper nutrition and exercise. Furthermore, friendships help us grow every year of our lives.
School friends teach us patience, how to wait our turn, how to reach out, and how to try new things. As we mature into young adults, we learn more about taking responsibility, pursuing a career path, and seeking out mentors.
As we enter our 40s and beyond, we learn to deal with life's ups and downs, and friends provide a soundboard and a place for us to grow once more. Friendship is essential in all of our relationships and can provide us with a sense of direction in life.
People we choose as friends will teach us to forgive, laugh, and converse. Every relationship, from our marriage to our coworkers, is built on friendship. We learn how to interact with people who are diametrically opposed to us or hold a different worldview from our friends.
We don't just talk to others; we also learn from them. We understand the process of meeting new people and learning what makes them tick. These people help us get out of our comfort zones while also providing a safe emotional environment in which we can be completely ourselves.
One of the most underappreciated benefits of friendship is that it aids in the maintenance of our mental and physical health. In fact, good nutrition and exercise are both essential for our physical health. A recent Harvard study found that having strong friendships in our lives can even help us improve our brain health.
Friends help us cope with stress, make better lifestyle choices that keep us healthy, and recover from illnesses and diseases faster.
Friendship is also important for our mental health. According to one study, spending time with positive friends actually improves our outlook. This means that we are happier when we choose to spend time with happy people. (There are even more reasons to end your relationship with that toxic friend.)
Friends do not cure loneliness (a common misconception), but they do help us when we are lonely. We learn to accept kindness and how to reach out to us when we need help. Those lonely times teach us to appreciate the friendships that come and go in our lives.
Having a steady stream of friends teaches us that some friendships are fleeting, but each one brings something special to the table. We gain a better understanding of ourselves and the importance of knowing and understanding someone. This is the key to overcoming loneliness.
Friends can assist us in learning how to add more meaning to our lives by altering our value system. When we spend time with friends, we fill our lives with great conversation, genuine interest and support, and we laugh out loud with amusement. Friends are there to help us put things in perspective when we are going through a difficult time. When we succeed, they are pleased with us. We will be more grateful and do nice things for others if we surround ourselves with realistic, positive people. We don't just survive when we have healthy friendships; we thrive.
Excellent!! We can't do without friends. I must not fail to say that with friends, one can as well expend his/her reasoning
Friends make this world a better, pleasant and pleasurable place to live in.
Friendship is important and without friendship, one can't sustained alone and that's why we must surround ourselves with positive friends that will help us to succeed
