Friends can make you happy
Do you have a lot of friends? Are they always happy? That’s good. A friend’s mood can influence your mood. Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego concluded that happiness is a collective phenomenon that spreads through social networks like an emotional contagion.
As I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that depression not only affects you, but others around as well. So, it’s best to be happy and spread happiness.
In the same research, it was also proved that popularity does lead to happiness. That means if you have a lot of friends, you are most likely to become happy.
