Does The Environment of Friendship Affect The Mental Health Of Teenagers?

Example:

1. Always give negative criticism

2. Makes you tired and depressed

3. Just wants to be heard alone

The friendship environment is an environment where there is intense and fairly regular interaction with people of the same age and status, where the interaction has a positive or negative effect or influence. Because of the many influences of friendship, we must pay more attention to whether this is a positive friendship that provides mutual support or a negative friendship that likes to compete in everything and likes to compare.

If this is dominant in a positive direction, the impact on us is also good because we become more confident in the decisions we make, and so on. The impact on others is also good; we can respect others more and give constructive criticism. But if in fact, this leads to friendships that have a negative impact, the impact on ourselves is that we always feel dissatisfied with what we have, depressed and insecure because we can't compete with other friends. 

The impact on other people is the same, so we always show off our abilities to others, look down on them, and cannot respect others.

What is Insecure?

Insecure is a state in which someone feels inadequate, not confident, or worried about something.

If insecurity is not addressed immediately, it can lead to mental health problems such as depression, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, paranoia, and mental health problems. Prolonged insecurity can cause physical and mental health problems. In addition, your relationship with the surrounding people may also be disturbed. 

This will affect your daily life and work. Someone who is depressed generally shows certain psychological and physical characteristics. The psychological characteristics of depressed people are excessive anxiety and worry, unstable emotions, and feelings of hopelessness or frustration.
