When you’re with your friends, your brain releases happy chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. These are the same things that make you feel good when you eat your favorite food or get a treat. Imagine it’s like getting a hug from a magical creature inside your head every time you see someone you love.
Examples
- You feel extra happy when you hang out with your best friend at the park.
- Your mood instantly improves after a fun game night with friends.
- You laugh more when you're around people who make you feel comfortable.
