Friends Share Our Burdens And Increase Our Happiness

Friends have the ability to relieve severe pain.  They will no doubt become our guardian angels. Not just physically but also psychologically. Because of this, we say that friends are a natural painkiller for our suffering. There is scientific evidence related to the negative effects of loneliness and lack of moral support. These factors can be just as harmful as tobacco, high cholesterol, obesity and lack of exercise. Because of this, it is good to encourage friends. We encourage emotional bonds, commitment, and other things that nourish our emotional bonds and increase our happiness.

These bonds give us a foundation to build and increase our happiness on. At the same time, it can help split our pain in two.

Lasting emotional bonds, a solid foundation that increases our happiness

Many times we trick ourselves into being alone. We think we prefer to distance ourselves from others. Some of the reasons we give are the fear of pain, betrayal and the lies others tell. But this will no doubt break us down.

However, happiness that increases our well-being can come from several sources. One source, for example, is having people we trust. Having people we love by our side makes us mentally stronger.

Having a shoulder to cry on will also make the blows softer when things go wrong. Stress can come from many events. Some of the most noticeable is losing a loved one or a divorce. Only the presence of these people in our lives helps us to fight on. Their presence reduces the effects of bad times.

So, the quality and amount of time spent with our friends is key. Their words can calm our hearts. This is especially important when suffering begins to overwhelm us.

Psychologist and researcher James Pennebaker is a pioneer in this field. This is thanks to his work in validating and quantifying something very important: He says that getting together with friends strengthens our health.

Friends is a natural morphine

Our encouragement of friendship is not just casual. Oxford University recently conducted an interesting study on this topic. Using a questionnaire, the 101 young adults asked about the number and quality of their relationships. They have also asked about personality traits involved.

Afterwards, they gave each person a test. Each person was asked to sit in an awkward position for a long time. The aim of this test was to make the test subjects have cramps and to feel discomfort and pain.

The researchers discovered an interesting result. Those with more friends were better able to endure the pain than the other test subjects. So, if we look at the data, we find other neurological examinations that all say the same thing. Humans are social animals.

In many different ways, we discover that our brains are socially programmed. We have a complete neural-chemical system that is responsible for interpersonal relationships: This is the endogenous opioid system that uses beta-endorphins.

Knowing that you are loved is a wonderful feeling

It is a passage in the book “Moon Palace” by Paul Auster. This passage is a perfect example of how important it is to know that we are loved.

“I was not aware of it at the time, of course, but when I know what I know now, it is impossible for me to look back on those days without feeling a wave of nostalgia for my friends.

I had jumped off the edge of a cliff, and then, just as I was about to hit the bottom, an extraordinary event took place: I learned that people loved me. Being loved that way makes all the difference.

It does not diminish the fear of the fall, but it does give a new perspective on what terror means. I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something stretched out and caught me in the loose air. That something is what I define as love.

It’s the only thing that can stop a man from falling, the one thing powerful enough to lift gravity ”.

The wonderful feeling of having an emotional security rope that protects us cannot be compared to anything. Knowing we are loved gives us hope. It also strengthens and revitalizes us. So we encourage you to have friends. This fills the world with magic, increases our happiness and makes the world a better place to live.
