Many of us feel more alone at certain times in our lives or find it difficult to make new friendships. We know that this situation causes great negative effects on our health, as well as the psychological damage it does to us.
According to a new study conducted at Cambridge University, our bad relationships that affect our lives affect our lives much more than we think. Researchers shared the data they obtained by observing people’s social relationships and health status for many years.
People who have problems in relationships at an early age age more quickly
The relationships of 154 people, 67 men and 87 women, with their partners, friends and families, have long-lasting relationships. observed over and over again. According to the data obtained by the researchers, it turned out that epigenetic aging differs according to age ranges. While the biggest problem experienced by people between the ages of 13 and 18 is difficulty in making friends; Until the age of 29, these problems leave their place to problems in romantic relationships. However, the data obtained in the study revealed that people with strong family relationships have less problems in their relationships and less signs of premature aging.
Perhaps the most troubling part of the issue is the fact that we kind of ‘age out ourselves’ with these troubles we experience in our relationships. So how does this happen? Namely; The problems that people experience in their family life, especially from a young age, bring along problems in social relations during adolescence and adulthood. This puts the person under chronic stress, causing them to look older than they are and grapple with many problems. For this reason, researchers recommend that people make more careful choices when choosing partners and friends, and keep family relationships as strong as possible.
