There are many reasons to meet up with friends regularly. But there are signs that tell you that you desperately need a girls’ night out right now. Here are the seven main symptoms.
1. Relationship stress
You have stress with your partner and are about to burst? Then you should urgently get rid of your frustration. This works best with those who just let you scold and swear at first. In addition, friends can bring you down to earth and show you whether this is really as dramatic as you make it out to be.

Whether professional changes or private. Some decisions are pretty far-reaching and jumping in at the deep end is not that easy. Then you urgently need the encouragement of those who firmly believe in us and make us aware of our strengths again.
7. Crying away
There are days when it tingles behind our eyes in the morning and the lump is stuck in our throats. Sometimes there are reasons, but sometimes there aren’t. But one thing is clear: the tears want to come out. And sometimes it also needs someone who:comforts you…
