Ep. 489: Friendships in the Digital Age
Manage episode 418453966 series 2081084
Sometimes the easiest way to keep up with friends is to follow along with their lives through social media, but people fall through the cracks, and occasionally you’ll see a friend posting a picture of their baby when you never knew they were pregnant to begin with. We aren’t besties with every single person we’ve ever had a friendship with, and there are plenty of people we care about but don’t always click with, for whatever reason. But in our experience, if you want a friend, you have to be a friend, and that looks like showing up for each other, being vulnerable, and allowing yourself to be seen in your full-humanity.
