Abstract

With the development of life and the increase in its requirements, man needs friends who support him in overcoming the difficulties in his social and practical life, for decades, as psychological research has shown the importance of social relations in improving the wellbeing of individuals (Cohen & Wills, 1985). However, nurturing behavior by bona fide social relationship partners sometimes causes unintended harm, reversibly increasing emotional stress (Bolger, Zuckerman, & Kessler, 2000; Gleason et al., 2008). Recent research indicates that friendships do not uniformly lead to positive outcomes. In fact, some friendships are characterized by dysfunctional relationship styles that promote maladaptive behaviors, such as eating disorder, substance abuse, or bullying.
