We all know that the friendship is a good thing. But do you know that friends have a great influence on your happiness and quality of life?Good friends provide comfort and joy,and even improve your health. 【小题1】 Many of us struggle to meet new friends and develop good connections. Even when we're willing to put in time and effort,we don't always know how to go about it.
Why are friends important?
Our society often places stress on romantic relationships. We think that if we can just find that right person,we'll be happy. But research shows that friends are more important to psychological(心理的)well-being than our love and family relationships. 【小题2】 Studies show that a lack of social connections can be as damaging as smoking,or as drinking too much. The quality of our friendships is even tied to longevity(长寿).
【小题3】
Technology has changed the meaning of friendships in recent years. With the click of a button,we can add a friend or make a new connection. 【小题4】
Technology can provide social opportunities by helping you reconnect with old friends,start new relationships with people around the world who share similar interests,and keep relationships with friends who don't live nearby. However,online friends can't hug you when you're upset,or celebrate a happy event with you after work.
【小题5】 So make it the most important thing to stay in touch in the real world,not just online. You'll get a lot more out of an in-person conversation than you will over text.
