Are you a good friend or do you feel let down by your friendships? Maybe it’s a bit of both…?
Today, Professor, Speaker and author Dr Marisa Franco, gives us some very good insights based on science and how our brain & attachment style interpret things subjectively when it comes to our friendships.
We cover:
// The one thing we get wrong about friendship.
// When to walk away and when to build on your friendship.
// Mutual vs reciprocal friendship.
// Managing friendship expectations.
// When we love our friends more than they love us.
// What are friend crushes?
// Placid and Dynamic safety in relationships
// How to make friends and keep them as an adult based on psychological research.
// What ruins friendships.
// The importance of boundaries and resolving conflicts with your friends.
// Friendship attachment styles.
// Are we getting more fussy with age?
// The difference between a friend, good company and an acquaintance.
// How our expectations are what hurt us in our friendships.
