1 小时 4 分钟Friendship in adulthood is not like friendship in childhood.
You cannot rely on the same set of assumptions.
Friendship and adulthood does not happen organically.
I'm going to repeat that.
It does not happen organically.
You have to try.
Right?
And I think people are so afraid of rejection.
But the reality is people are less likely to reject you than you think.
Like, we have this whole culture of lonely people looking for connection, you know?
And I think sometimes we assume everybody has their friends when, you know, the data is telling us, no, they do not.
So friendship, it is one of those things where we all know deep down how important it is.
And there's even a ton of research showing it's about the most important thing when it comes to living good life.
And yet, once we're adults, all too often those chosen family level friends, they tend to drift away.
And we get so wrapped up in life, we kind of forget or become nervous about trying to make new, like, summer camp level friends.
So we pretend, oh, it really just doesn't matter as much as it does.
Except it does.
And we end up swirling in loneliness and disconnection, adrift and longing for deeper bonds.
We crave spaces where we can drop our armor and be seen and known and supported.
Well, if you want to transform how you show up for others and invite more reciprocity and care and belonging and love into your life, this is the conversation for you.
