Having a good friend can make your life more meaningful, they can provide emotional support, reduce feelings of loneliness, help you feel happier and more satisfied with life. However, toxic friendships do the opposite, they drain you mentally and physically.

Strong, healthy family relationships help us cope with life's stresses and make us feel supported and cared for. Staying in touch with family not only helps us maintain social connections, but also makes it easier to deal with real-life problems.
