Document Summary
Having lots of connections seem to be good for you. Having a group a friends that share an identity with me (we have certain things in common) Think of support groups, they understand and feel your pain (i. e. aa) Depending on certain situations, you might want support from an outgroup to demonstrate that your cause or identity is legitimate. You can act as an distraction as a way of social support (i. e. taking your friend to appointments, keeping them company) There are some chronic pains that are worse than others. If we have chronic stressors that occur daily we seem to get used to it and to a degree have a control over it. If things are changing day by day and don"t know what to do. Homeostasis vs allostasis -> like homeo but gives you chemicals and hormones that help you react to stressors, works very quickly.
