Why Are Female Friendships Important For Women? Our BFFs Are The Diamonds We Need!
Female Friendships can positively affect your mental health.
They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Sure, but what if the diamonds we’re talking about are her girlfriends? Female friendships are one of the most healing aspects of a woman’s life. They not only provide support but also can offer value in the dynamic. Often, navigating through life can get very difficult for women, especially in their late teens or early 20s. When one steps their foot into adulthood, it can bring multiple chaotic situations or hard times, and that is where her friends enter. Their shared experiences can provide empathy and support, and if not that, they most likely won’t judge you when you are ranting about your problems, and that is what matters the most! If you’re still not convinced, here’s why female friendships are important for us!
Reasons Why Female Friendships Can Be Healing
Having an understanding woman friend(s) is nothing short of winning a lottery. No matter what problems you might be going through, she will always have your back! This kind of attitude provides a safe space in the friendship to open up. Sometimes you just want to rant about your problems, and this ranting session becomes more interesting and healing when your bestie also joins and talks about her problems. Once you’ve ranted, your heart feels very light! Female friendships can be very nurturing. There may be times when you have to literally ask your man to do certain things for you. But your female best friends simply know what is to be done without you even saying it out loud. It’s not surprising that she knows you better than your man, and he’s jealous of you two since he’s the third wheel in this relationship.
More often than not, if something good happens in a woman’s life, she would want to tell that news to her girlfriends first. Their support makes you feel that you are seen, heard, and that you matter. This can, in turn, help balance your emotions or also provide tools that can help stabilise your emotions. After all, what a woman wants is someone to understand her and one who has such friends is privileged!
This Is For Life!
Phoebe from Friends did not lie when she said, “Boyfriends and girlfriends will come and go, but this is for life.” Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe’s dynamic reflects how important and crucial sisterhood is in a girl’s life. Shared experiences strengthen female friendships and help each other bond emotionally. For some, their female besties are more reliable and supportive than their boyfriends.
While we each other’s delusions, because it’s a part of girl code, we also give a reality check when our girlfriends need it. This is also very important in any kind of relationship, because at the end of the day, we need someone to show us the right way in case we stumble in life! These beautiful dynamics should be valued, as not everyone is lucky enough to find such friends. But it’s not all about you receiving princess treatment from your girlfriends. Your contribution to this dynamic matters because your bestie is also just a girl navigating through life’s problems, and she needs you just as much as you need her!
Psst…thinking about her after reading this? Reach out to her, sis. And thank her for being in your life because we often forget to cherish the relationships that truly matter to us the most. So, close this tab and dial your bestie to let her know how important she is in your life, because she definitely deserves to hear it!
