How thoughtful gestures strengthen friendships

While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn shared how thoughtful gestures, like surprising a best friend with gifts, strengthen bonds between friends.

Penny said that thoughtful gestures show genuine care and dedication to making others happy, often indicating a deep understanding and appreciation for the person's care.

The psychologist and relationship expert went on to explain by saying the following:

"As long as thoughtful gestures happen on both sides, the friendship can be strengthened. The friend on the receiving end of the gesture must also be grateful."

She added:

"If someone gives a gift and the other party is not appreciative, the friendship will be weakened. If one friend only does the giving, the friendship is also likely to weaken over time."
