  • 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.

    Wow, this is something I've struggled with lately; it's nice to know I'm not alone. I also appreciate the call to action. Since the pandemic, friends have been quiet-- and I have been too. Time to become more intentional about carving out that time together. Thank you so much for highlighting this!💗

    From my experience it’s hard to trust people these days and safer to not be influenced by the wrong crowd. I’ve been hurt a lot from other’s gossip and really had to work through some things with God on my own to grow from betrayal.

    I know many people but not a single friend the last 12 years of my life. Just online friends - is this taken into account though?

    As a devote Christian it is challenging to find other Christian friends who are like-minded, uses the Bible as their standard, and are courageous enough to stand together against this dark world and not conform.

    What do you do if you NEVER hear from your friends unless YOU reach out? I would have almost no one in my life if I didn’t reach out. Are those people really friends?

    I volunteered for six months at a horse ranch where once neglected or abused horses are matched with handicapped young people. But I was disrespected and taken for granted and advantage of by a narcissistic horse ranch manager. No friendships. Volunteering doesn’t guarantee better friendships or mental health. But good friendships is helpful. Thank you. I love to listen to you Dr. Leaf.

    Quality over quantity matters. I used to have a lot of "friends," but I realized they were low quality. I had to get rid of them. 😖
