An evening out with the closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact, our beat friend can prevent us from developing serious psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. Best friendship evolves with time – we cannot go out and pick our best friend. We become friends with people who share common interests – at school or through hobbies, for example. Best friends have usually known each other for years and stuck together through good and bad times. If you haven’t and got one, Perhaps you are being too distance from people, or focus too much on your work. 2.
