Authenticity, Oversharing, and the Value of Not-So-Deep Friendships: A Conversation with Israa Nasir
Manage episode 408090218 series 2855801
You’re walking home from a friend’s party when you begin to replay a conversation you had with someone you met and, as you recall the way you dived right into personal life details within the first three minutes, you’re wondering if you overshared…
Other people might regret opening up in that way but not you, because you often say - if it’s not a deep friendship, then I don’t want it - but is that really a healthy mantra?
In today’s episode, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson speaks to Israa Nasir, a psychotherapist, speaker and writer, about the intricacies of certain friendships, challenging the belief that relationships must be intensely intimate to hold value. Together they discuss how different friendships can meet various emotional needs, and they also bust some myths about authenticity and oversharing.
And, as always, stay tuned for this week’s homework.
