Did you Know? Having Friends trigger our empathy.
The ability to put yourself in another person's shoes is an important human trait, but when we're with friends, we take it to the next level. A team from the University of Virginia examined brain scans from 22 different people who were threatened with receiving small electrical shocks to themselves, a friend, or a stranger. Scientists discovered that the brain activity of a person in danger is essentially the same as that of a friend who is in danger.
