Why Friends Make Us Happier, Healthier People happify.com
The Happiest People are the Most Social
Convincing evidence of this phenomenon comes from Ed Diener and Martin Seligman, two leading experts in the field of happiness research. When they compared the happiest to the least happy people, they found that the first group was highly social and had the strongest relationship ties. In fact, good social relations were a necessity for people to feel happy. Similarly, other psychologists have written that the need to belong is “fundamental.”
We Turn to Friends When We’re Stressed
This is especially true for women, according to researchers at UCLA. Women are much more likely than men to seek out social support (usually from other women) when they’re worried or frazzled, which may explain why stress affects men’s health more.
Our Friends Help Us Feel Optimistic
Researchers say that daily social support is a key factor in feeling optimistic. Optimism, in turn, increases our satisfaction with life and lowers our risk of depression. Another study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology showed that when we feel that we have social support, our visual perception of challenges actually changes: Mountains look more like molehills.
Friendships Improve Our Health
Let us count the ways! 1. Those of us who have social support are more likely to keep up an exercise plan more than a year after starting it. 2. The least “socially integrated” people experience memory declines twice as fast as those who are more connected. 3. Social support wards off depression and suicide. 4. People who are lonely tend to have higher blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease, and they’re more likely to “give up” or “quit trying” to deal with a stressor such as illness. Not to mention…
Our Friends Help Us Live Longer
Remember when we said that women seek help from their friends more than men do? A Swedish study found that when men do get enough social support during stressful times, they tend to live longer than those who didn’t have someone to lean on. There’s ample evidence that friendships don’t just make our lives better, they make them longer. Women who have at least one confidant survive longer after surgery for breast cancer, for example. And a review of 148 studies found that people with stronger social relationships have a 50 percent lower risk of mortality.

Japan’s Carnivore Women and Herbivore Men Victoria S.
Yasuhito Sekine, poster boy for Japan’s herbivore men. He runs an online desert appreciation group for men. The group of 1,000 members debate things such as the virtues of different brands of strawberry shortcake.
Japan is struggling to adapt to a new cultural phenomenon – a generation of new age men who are sensitive, not interested in high-powered or lucrative careers, heterosexual but not really interested in women, sex or marriage. These men are called “herbivores” since they aren’t interested in “matters of the flesh”. The concept of masculinity is changing. These men are more modest and passive than previous generations. They believe men and women can be just friends. They’re usually thin and interested in pursuing their own eclectic hobbies, such as fashion, sewing, video games, personal grooming or eating desert.
Some say the rise in herbivore men is due to the generation growing up in hard economic times, when less jobs were available. However, it’s unclear why that would only apply to the men. Japan is seeing a concurrent trend – the rise of “carnivorous” women – women to take the initiative with men and make the first move when it comes to dating. These women embrace eating meat and are aggressive in their careers. They eschew traditional feminine tasks such as cooking or doing household chores, and are less enthusiastic about marriage than previous generations.
It seems these twin Japanese trends parallel those in the United States – with both countries witnessing plunging birth and marriage rates. And for an economic twist – both countries see a decline in entrepreneurship in the younger generations.
