In this episode, Jamie, Avery, and Lucy talk about friendships! We discuss changing trends in our friendship networks over time, why friendships are important for our physical and mental health, and what to do if we are spread too thin. We also share tips on how to develop new friendships and deepen current ones.
Do Try This at Home:
- Do a “friendship inventory” to discover whether you have the bandwidth to take on new friends and to examine whether your current network is healthy and fulfilling.
- In making new friends, start small. Pay attention to who you interact with on a regular basis and choose one way to connect on a deeper level.
- To deepen current friendships, authentically compliment your friends. It’s always a good time to tell someone how great they are!
