In this supposed medical/health news, CNN has yet another Story About Something Everyone Already Knows. Too much small talk and not enough "deep conversation" apparently leads to unhappiness.
This is a direct quote: "The bottom line is that maintaining friendships can help with emotional well-being."
Well, holy effing hell, ladies and gents! We have a scientific breakthrough.
Oh, wait. The article states that only 79 participants were studied and the result "meshes well with established ideas that happiness and social life are intertwined." So we know we already know this. Everyone knows we already know this. And yet a story was published on a news site about it anyway. Because, really, why say something once when you can say it over and over and over?
The moral of this NOT EFFING NEWS story?
"Friends buffer negative events and provide support...Don’t be too busy to have a meaningful conversation."
