Friendships at 20 and 30. So they change. You have noticed?

When we are young, our curiosity is immense and we are very interested in exploring and acquiring as much information and knowledge about the world as possible.Sample of this curiosity is that "with 20 years we are usually very sociable and we surround ourselves with a large number of people," said Paul Duberstein, professor of psychiatry at the University of Rochester.Add:

" As we reorient our goals and move on to 30 years, we begin to trim the wings of our social network.The number of people and the effort we spend on people in the network are more concentrated and of higher quality.”

How was the study conducted?

The study took place in the 70s and lasted more than 30 years, with 100 volunteer students from the University of Rochester These students were asked to register and describe their daily social relationships at age 20.e, at the age of 30, they were asked again for the same thing.Again, when the participants were around the age of 50 they were asked to answer a questionnaire about their level of well-being at that time, their sense of loneliness and their mood in addition to also write down the quality of their relationships.

The results showed that the fact of having a greater number of social interactions when you are 20 years old and having a higher quality social relationship at 30 years, meant that upon reaching 50 years will enjoy greater welfare.Contrarily, the fact of having more social activity at 30 was associated with worse psychological results when reaching 50 years.

No new friends

There is still some more reason not to worry if you are around 30 years old and a small group of friends.

In another study conducted in 2016 at the University of Aalto in Finland and at the University of Oxford in England , the researchers discovered that around the age of 25 It is when we begin to eliminate friends from our group.At age 20, women and men are more "socially promiscuous" since they are able to make a greater number of friendships and meet many new people every day.that the values are changing, that group is shrinking.We focus more on certain relationships and on maintaining them and as Kunal Bhattacharya, postdoctoral researcher co-author of the study, told CNN, “You have new family contacts in development, but your informal circle is reduce ».

Why this change?

Perhaps there is an evolutionary reason behind this change in social behavior.As we get older, we biologically prepare ourselves to think in the offspring, that is, in forming our own family and raising our children.Keeping some friendships will strongly help us to raise our children.

Friendships at 20 and 30. So they change. You have noticed?

Michael Price, director from the Center for Culture and Evolution at the University of London told CNN:

"It's the idea of 'making and befriending, which means that relationships become more important when you have children ".

Surely the friends you had at 20 and who shared parties and drunk with you are not the best candidates to accompany you in your father stage, and that's fine.
