Summary

In this podcast I talk about the importance of friendships, and how they can impact our mental health. Friendships are a beautiful part of life that contribute so much value to our lives, in so many wonderful ways. However, in recent years, researchers have noticed a decline in people’s social circles and number of friends. They have attributed this decline to many reasons, including the recent COVID pandemic, which left us more isolated and disconnected, and the higher cost of living, which means that more and more of use spend less time hanging out with loved ones and more time working to survive.
