EP 84 | Why is friendship so hard + weird right now?
Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple Podcasts
Are you satisfied friendship-wise? Are your friendships evolving in a way that you didn't see coming? Are you feeling out of sorts when it comes to how to handle all of that? You're very much *not* alone.
2023, in particular, has cracked me open to a whole new world of work and understanding in the area of friendship. Admittedly, I'd been so focused on improving my romantic relationships for the last decade plus, that I didn't see the same patterns surfacing in my friendships. That's been a bitter pill to swallow.
This episode will resonate with anyone:
Who feels like they don't have the community or friend group they desire
Who has experienced changes in friendships in the last few years they never saw coming
Is grieving the loss of major and minor friendships
Who isn't sure if they should or shouldn't sever ties with certain friends
Has gone through significant friendship breakups (and are perhaps not sure how to process all that)
Hungers for people they can connect with more deeply but aren't sure who to go about that
Feels an emptiness, overall, in the space of friendship
