Why You Need a Circle of Support in Life | Dr. Tulika
Author : Dr Tulika | 23 Jul 2025
Introduction
What Is a Circle of Support?
A circle of support is a group of people you feel safe with. These are the ones who listen to you without judging, encourage you when you feel low, and celebrate your small wins.
It doesn’t have to be a big group — even 2 or 3 caring people can make a big difference.
Your circle could include:
> Family members
> Close friends
> A trusted colleague
> A mentor or teacher
> A professional therapist or psychiatrist
Why Is It Important?
> Gives Emotional Strength: During tough times, their kind words and presence give you hope and courage.
> Improves Mental Health: People with a good support system cope better with anxiety, depression, and life challenges.
> Boosts Confidence: Knowing someone believes in you can lift your self-esteem and help you stay strong.
> Helps in Decision-Making: A good listener can help you see your problems clearly and think calmly.
How to Build Your Circle of Support Stay in touch with family and friends you trust.
> Don’t hesitate to share how you feel.
> Be open to accepting support and advice.
> Join small social groups or communities you feel comfortable with.
> Reach out to a mental health professional when needed.
Conclusion
You don’t have to face life’s struggles alone. A simple phone call, a kind message, or a chat over coffee with someone you trust can make your day easier.
Your circle of support is your emotional strength. Build it, value it, and don’t be afraid to lean on it when you need to.
