How to pick friends who make you feel good

"In a U.S. study, researchers measured the happiness of 4,739 people at regular intervals over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with.

Amazingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to be the most contagious among friends of the same sex.

‘People with more supportive friends are less likely to develop depression and anxiety,’ says Dr. Toupey Luft, a psychologist in Penticton, B.C. ‘Though you can’t choose your family or work colleagues, you do have control over friendships.’
