One study on the impact our support systems can have on us was conducted at the University of Virginia where students were asked to estimate the steepness of a hill as they stood at the base of it with a weighted backpack. Those who stood beside a friend guessed the incline to be less than those who stood alone. Additionally, the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.
YES!!!!!! This is another piece of why SB was so awesome for me.
