Your friends: Who you spend time with has a huge effect on you, including your mental, physical, and emotional health. In fact, Jacobs also mentions a 2007 study from The New England Journal of Medicine in which scientists concluded that gaining and losing weight can be socially contagious. A person was more than 57 percent more likely to be obese if he or she has a pal that became obese. The same researchers of the study also say that happiness can spread between friends. This may mean that your friends being stressed out can affect your own levels of stress.

朋友：经常接触的人对我们的身心及情绪健康大有影响。雅各布斯还列举了2007年《新英格兰医学杂志》上刊登的一项研究：科学家发现，变瘦或发胖也有“社交传染性”。如果一个人有肥胖的朋友，那这个人也极有可能发胖。相关研究人员还表示，快乐也能在朋友之间传染。同理，如果朋友压力山大，你难免也会感到紧张不安。

Venting: You may think that dumping your problems on a friend repeatedly will make you feel better, but a study by the University of Kent in England found that people with perfectionist tendencies feel worse after venting. And it doesn't just apply to perfectionists, says social psychologist Brad J. Bushman. Venting isn't an effective strategy to deal with setbacks; acceptance, humor, and positive thinking are a better ways of coping.

发泄：或许你觉得不断向朋友发泄情绪无可厚非，但根据英格兰肯特大学的研究显示，具有完美主义倾向的人往往发泄后会感到更加沮丧。社会心理学家布拉德-布什曼认为，不单是完美主义者，其他人也或多或少有这种感觉。发泄并不利于处理挫折，相反，接受、幽默和积极心态更有帮助。
