Never Listening

We all know it is important to listen to our friends, but did you know it can actually have a huge effect on how long they live for? According to studies done by the Huffington Post, allowing your loved ones to vent to you means that they can increase their “cognitive resilience.”

In turn, stronger cognitive resilience can make people healthier and therefore live longer. So, listening to your friends helps them live better lives! Unfortunately for this friend, listening to someone like this venting can’t have been a good thing. In fact, the listener probably shortened their own lifespan by doing so!
