Sharing jokes, funny stories, and lighthearted moments with friends can provide a much-needed break from stress and anxiety. Perspective and advice: Friends can offer fresh perspectives, insights, and advice on your problems and challenges. They may be able to see things from a different angle and offer solutions or suggestions you hadn’t thought of. Talking things through with friends can help you gain clarity, process your thoughts and emotions, and make better decisions. They can also provide a reality check and help you see things in a more balanced and realistic way. Distraction and relaxation: Friends can provide a welcome distraction from stress and anxiety by engaging you in enjoyable activities, hobbies, or conversations.
