This largest-ever analysis “we-talk” suggested that the frequent use of “we” and “us” is linked to happier and healthier relationships.The word “we” moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “The pronouns offer an insight into whether p

But “we-talk” can encourage you to become more posit
