Why Do People Feel Happy When They’re Around Friends?

Friends make us feel happy because they help us relax and have fun. When we're around friends, we laugh more, play games, or just chat. This makes our brains release chemicals like dopamine, which are the 'feel-good' messengers in our bodies. It's like getting a little boost of happiness every time you see your favorite person.
