Close Friends
So how many can you call close friends?
Apparently, we have a smaller circle of around
fifteen people who we can turn to for support
in a crisis. They are the ones that we hang
out with, speak to, message and text most
often. But even within this group, there is an
inner circle, an intimate group of around five
best friends. They form a dependable support
group. You can confide your secrets in them
and share your feelings, and they will always
be on your side. Of course, these groups will
change a lot during your life. Some people
will disappear from your social groups
entirely while others will join them as your
life changes and you move on.

 Social Media
Social media is often criticized for creating superficial relationships. It cannot
be denied, however, that we can keep in touch with people more easily than
in the past. Your grandparents will recall that when they wanted to exchange
news, they used to send a letter, postcard or telegram, or they would call friends
from a home phone or a public telephone on the street. Communication via the
Internet and cell phones didn’t become common until the late 1990s. Before
then, people had to make arrangements to meet in advance and couldn’t change

pi ew nte g
plans easily. Older people are likely to assert that text messages and Instagram

co vi o in

t
posts are too impersonal, and that things were better when “chatting” meant

ed o n
e re e c ish
face-to-face. It was how you formed strong bonds with your friends.

.
or ly
ld
Meeting Up with Friends

n
t b er pl bl

so
On the other hand, social media has not necessarily harmed how we interact with our friends. While your
no ch m Pu
grandparents spent time catching up on the latest news when they met up, people today know all about their
friends’ lives in real time. So when you meet up, you are more likely to do things together rather than sharing
news. This regular contact can deepen your rapport and allows you to discuss deeper issues. Whichever is better,
nd

today or in the past, human nature doesn’t change. We all need friends and spend a lot of time building our
friendships.

Friendship in Other Species

d fo fr m
an is is ich

Friendship appears to exist in the animal world as well. You have probably
seen videos of unusual partnerships between, say, an elephant and a dog,
or a fox and a cat. Studies of animal communication show that it takes a
Th R

lot of brainpower to support a complicated social life. Only smarter animal

a

species that live in groups, such as horses or elephants, make friends.

ay te
©

These friendships help animals manage the stress and conflicts of group
life. One study of cows showed they form close bonds with one or two other
individuals and experience a rise in stress hormones if they are separated.

Neurochemical Rewards
Humans’ nearest relatives are other primates, such as chimpanzees and
gorillas. These apes live in small social groups and spend their time
hunting, gathering food or just hanging out. Intense sessions of mutual
grooming can take up to twenty percent of their day. Touch is important:
it helps them build cooperative relationships and maintain alliances.
In fact, grooming releases neurochemicals, called endorphins, in the
brain, which makes the apes feel good. Studies show humans have the
same physiological response to social touching. A touch on the arm or
a pat on the back can make us feel good. It also conveys trust, increases
compassion and calms our heartbeat. Humans are hardwired to respond
to it. Conventional wisdom has always held that being in close contact
with friends is good for our health. Now, science is proving it.
