Summary:
It all starts with Oxytocin, a wonderful hormone that is affectionately known as the cuddle hormone. In time of stress women don't just react with fight or flight, turns out we also release this ever important hormone oxytocin. This leads us to believe that in times of trouble, women need their pals more than ever. Specifically with women, friendship can protect not only your feelings, but also can help lower your blood pressure, boost your immunity and speed up the healing process. Whenever something happens that makes you upset, what do you do, call your mom? You're best gal pal? You're inclined to react that way because women just deal with stress through their social connections more than men do.
Studies show that if your regular state of mind is one that is mostly lonely, that's where the damage sets in and it's been said that it can be worse for your health than smoking. It puts unnecessary stress on your immune and cardiovascular systems, can decrease your overall well being and is considered a disease in certain circumstances. Loneliness doesn't care if you're a man or a woman, anyone that says they're lonely a lot tend to die earlier, get sick more often and don't adapt to changes in life easily without friends they can rely on.
Back to that hormone called oxytocin we were talking about... in women, levels of this hormone will surge when a women has a baby, and this creates bonding with your newborn while nursing and spending time with them, but it also shoots up when women are stressed out, and this means we actively seek the comfort of our friends. In women, when we rally around our friends, whether it's just out for a fun night, a chill hang or to vent about problems, there's a calming and warming effect that happens, that just isn't present in men.
