Relationships are like chemicals, once they have an
interaction they’ll definitely react to each other. It’s now up to us if we’ll
have a good or bad interaction with them; we just need to be accountable of the
result. It’s a matter of good mixture or in short, a matter of good
relationship.
Mr. Eliot Smith wrote in his article at Psychology Press entitled “chapter 11: close relationships” that, relationships influence our feelings, behaviors, and
physical and mental well-being. In this article, he provided examples on how
relationship affects, some examples are: intimacy, social support, and health.
Social support increases physical health and psychological well-being because it
offers opportunities for self-disclosure, companionship, and enjoyable
interactions.
We should give social support to the mentally challenged person so they will
not feel that they are alone.
Influencing can also be affected by our genders; women are more likely to
provide emotional support, whereas men offer problem-solving advice. Therefore, women are good
emotional supporters that’s why mothers should be more supporting to their kids
especially when their kids are in special condition. When people are under stress or ill, emotional support is more
helpful.
In
conclusion, relationship affects our psychological being so in order to have a
peaceful life with the mentally challenged persons around us; we should always
have a good relationship with them. Most chemicals explode because of bad
mixture and we don’t want it that way.
