Reconnecting With Old Friends Boosts Mental Health, Says New Study

There are friends and there is family, but there are friends who become family. Growing up, you can have a million so called “friends” but you need to filter out the real ones and that only happens over time. And if you do get them, trust us when we tell you, don’t let them go. Just don’t do it.

Some people have a very large circle of friends, while others may have a small circle of a select few. It doesn’t matter, all that matters is having some real friends. Quality over quantity.

According to a Healthline story, a recent study found that reconnecting with old friends is incredibly good for people’s mental health. The mental state improves significantly as a result of this.

Not only that, but a phone call, email, or text message can improve mental health. The value of lifelong acquaintances has grown even more after the Corona epidemic.
