As promised, I continue my series on friendships — where I answer your juicy (and sometimes complicated) questions sent via Instagram.
You’ll find out:
- Why very few friendships last a lifetime
- How we often attach romantic expectations on our female friendships
- What is really going on when a friend asks, “what have I done wrong?”
- The priorities I’ve put in place re: my friendships vs family life
- Why you have to look at your past when it comes to present friendship insecurities
- The root of envy in friendships
- Why it’s so important to be upfront with your value system when establishing new friendships
- Why it’s healthy to let certain friendships run their course (and eventually end)
- Why years and years of history with a friend shouldn’t be a major criterion for keeping them in your life
- Why I think I’m so blessed by the friendships I have
- Why we have to communicate with our friends vs test them
Questions asked:
- “What do you do when you feel like you’re on a different path but you don’t want to break ties?”
- “What do I do if I’ve been ghosted by a friend?”
- “I love my friend, but she always needs to be in the spotlight and it’s exhausting.”
- “What do I do if I’m often the butt of my friend’s jokes?”
- “How can I be a good friend and not go out after 7pm?”
- “I am a confident person, but somehow my jealousy of my best friend, whom I love dearly, gets the best of me.”
- “How do I let my friends know that I need them to check in on me?”
- “How do I end a friendship that’s become toxic?”
- “How do I handle it if I do all the giving?”
