A recent Harvard study concluded that having solid friendships in our life even helps promote brain health. Friends helps us deal with stress, make better lifestyle choices that keep us strong, and allow us to rebound from health issues and disease more quickly. Friendship is equally important to our mental health and psychosocial aspects of our lives.

I think YES. Both are essential for human life . A friend is an essential factor for sharing well and woes and friendship is the shelter-bed for everything.

Friends and friendship is highly necessary in human life. Simply going for work coming to home without interacting with others does not make sense. One has to move with friends, talk to each other, share information and exchange views. Apart from this, a person should take care of oneself and maintain relations to certain extent.

Even in practical sense , friendship with spouse is a major factor for human life.
On social networks, people post hundreds of friends. But being friends on Facebook is not a sign of friendship. In addition to being there in good and bad times, your friend is your everyday ally. It is he who will be able to rejoice in your happiness and your success, without feeling jealousy.

True and close friendship is exist but rare. FB and other frienships look like a bit fake. Friend and friendship are essential and without friends/colleaques life would be horrible.
Friendships are essential for the development of social skills such as negotiation, empathy, teamwork or learning social norms. So friendship fulfills an adaptive function for the people.
Yes, but true friendship is a bit rare in our contemporary world.
Real friends are like brothers/sisters though difficult to have a genuine one.
Friendship is rare and precious thing that doesn't exist in this world (to larger extent), so one can happily live with fairly good mental and physical health, alone or with family, without having friends and friendship.

Thank you dear friend for your kind and valued contributions .

If we're looking at it just from life it's good to have "a quality of friends and friendship" who you can trust to be there for you when times are tough. Sometimes the people that we tend to rely on aren't always expected to be there for some personal reasons, thus when life is in need of something abstract it's good to be acquainted with a number of friendly people to help you get what you want.
Do you think friends and friendship are essential for a human life ? Why ? Why not?
Yes friend(s) / friendship is very important in a human life because no man is an island (all of us are open systems & not closed system) and through team work due to friendship we can achieve synergy / achieve more vs working as a lone ranger.
Also there is a Chinese saying indicating the importance of friendship when we come out into the society i.e. “在家靠父母，在外靠朋友” - meaning "At home one depends on parents, outside one relies on friends”.
Yes, Sure. The human can not live without friends because human life is social.
The benefits of friendships:
- Increase your sense of belonging and purpose.
- Boost your happiness and reduce your stress.
- Improve your self-confidence and self-worth.
- Help you cope with traumas, such as divorce, serious illness, job loss or the death of a loved one.

Friendship is essential in every human's life.. Especially if you are surrounded by people who care and love you and more importantly those who are healthy minded simply because they will help you to survive... Besides, it's important to be independent "don't expect anything from anyone" in order to stay away from disappointment. Life is meant to be lived by you and your standards not by the opinion of others.
Widad Chaib
''A friend is need as a friend indeed''- there is a proverb and it goes always as a fact all society. An individual, country, society even animals need friend as all of them are social beings. A life need cohorts to survive and sustain in the long. But too much friends are not accepted from my side. Its a crowd and surprisingly , none is there as real sometimes.

Not only the actual friendship or loving relationships but also the perceived social and emotional support is a source of physical and mental health.Socially active people are more energetic, have a higher degree of confidence, socially intelligent and above all happiest of all.

I also think so. Friends and friendship for all sorts of supports.

"Man Alone with Himself"

Yes, friendship is important in a human's life. May be friendship with life partner or children. In general, one can not live in isolation from others
Friendship is the secret of happiness and good friend and sincere treasure as a tremendous treasure and life full of happiness, happiness and highlighting
No doubt, friends and friendship are quite essential in human life. Life is a mystery. Any thing may happen at any time. Simply sitting and doing oneself may lead to dangerous situations sometimes. Hence one has to make friends and continue friendship and should be in limits.
Human are social animals. Therefore, we need friends, relatives and society to learn and grow up.
Its very essential ...we can share our feelings with friends only ...they r your guider also ...helps to improve our mistakes
It makes us more human to have friendly relations as friendship consolidates ties of love and cooperation among people.
There is very old example of friends and friendship lord Krishna and sudama . From friends you can get unconditional and unbiased advice in difficult stages of life and support also
Friends are first to reach you in time of troubles. They give true meaning to your happiness.We trust on our potential and abilities because of the feedback provided by our friends and other significant people in our life.They act as a mirror to make you aware about your capacities,about your dark areas and black spots in life.
To me, the question seems a little vague. Friendships can be a positive or negative influence, depending on what type of relationship has been formed, that is, if you are referring to influence. If you are referring to literaly biological sustainence, then no, I can not see friendships being essential to the literal definition of keeping a person's 'biological clock ticking.' However, a lack of friendship may be dangerous for other reasons, such as mental health (psychological) and cognitive decline (biological), possibly even leading to suicide through depression. Research has shown that humans will chose a negative stimulus (even a pain stimulus) over no stimulus at all when in isolation. If you were to extrapolate that, then I assume social isolation might be rather overwhelming and quite a powerful explanatory variable when considering your question from a mental health and philosophical perspective. Furthermore, drug addiction and behavioural addiction have been found to act within the brain through the same neurochemical pathways, basically being 'one-and-the-same.' In consideration of that, it's not too much of a leap to summise that a lack of friendship/connections may cause psychological symptom to be expressed that could directly impact upon a person's physical health (aka biology) - just my few cents.
Friendship and friends are essential elements of human life. They can enhance cooperation and friendly ties between people.
There are cultural variation in the role of friends that maybe considered . In collectivist eastern culture there is huge role of friends in the many areas of life. Friends almost act like family members, they provide social,moral even financial help in case of need. The Role of friends vary from culture to culture.In some cases especially in tribal setting their role is indeed essential for reasons specific to that culture.
I think, friendship is an essential element of human life. It is very important for communication between human society.......
its important even with pain in relationship. you learn from friends much more any one else in life.
Paul: It helps to have good friends at time, but it is not essential. Many people prefer not to interact with people too much. We should respect their preference for privatization and individualism, in my opinion.
