SOCIAL LIFE & FRIENDSHIP

Human beings are a social species. Companionship is not just a good thing to have, it is an absolute and vital need. Loneliness can be serious enough to kill: without other people to share in the highs and lows of life, the mind and spirit begin to deteriorate, sapping the will to live and the drive to survive. Having and nurturing friendships is therefore a matter of life and death. The things you will learn here will be applicable to every other type of relationship – don't just confine them to your relationships with friends alone.
