Benefits of friendship and importance of platonic relationships 

An intriguing article by Very Well on the importance of friendship and its importance dove deeply into the benefits of platonic love. Humans could not possibly survive without one another.

Our strengths and weaknesses complement each other. The art of community is beautiful when the motive is purely to help and see others happy.

The article states that friendship promotes physical health by cancelling out loneliness, which could lead to strokes, diabetes, and heart problems. Friends also influence each other to practice healthy behaviours by setting and maintaining goals.

Emotional support is one of the most significant benefits of having friends who listen and help get you through stressful times. A healthy platonic relationship instils confidence in you through support and validates you and your choices.
