I typed “Adolescent Frienship & Ventral stratium” in hope to find which part of brain responds to freindship.

Accoridng to above linked aritcle, CA2 is region of hypocampus in charge of memory of people, places and things. Damage in hypocampus has found to be resposible of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is related to aggression and its control in both mice and humans. So, memory is closely realted to freindship. Personally, I have no good memory or freinds and wondered why. I looked for another journal on memory and freindship.

https://www.aarp.org/health/brain-health/info-2017/close-friendships-cognitive-decline-fd.html

“The researchers concluded that maintaining positive and trusting friendships could be the key to a sharper memory and a slower decline in cognitive function as you age.”

Conclusion: So, friendship helps you to remember things better and is beneficial for your health. If you questioned why we need a friend, that conclusion can be a good reason.

Movie: A man called Otto

Interestingly, I saw this movie about a lonely guy who become so depressed and try to commit suicide every moment of his life after his wife’s death. The movie depicts him as grumpy and unfreindly to others and too rule-focused or pedantic. In the end, he meets lots of good neighbors and die naturally after wring a inhertance letter to her kind neighbor who needed that money to raise kids. It is heartwarming but at the same time, sad movie about a lonesome death or Kodokushi.

I could realte to him. I realized missing sombody for life can be deadly. Sadness is eating him up and he surenders himself to dealy sadness that eventually kills him. You need to let go sometimes.

Conclusion

You need a friend or someone to care about you from time to time for yourself. Even when they are annoying sometimes, you need to constantly connect with them. If there is a trouble, talking through it together might help. Don’t get caught up with the past experiences that you generalize other people with. They might feel offended and judged. Introvertion does not mean you don’t want a freind and has no friend. Avoid those poeple who judge you based on what you have but reach out to those who cares more about your interest and feelings. That does not exclude me.

Thank You.
