Real Friendship
The popular belief that a friendship shouldn’t make you uncomfortable and that you should cut someone off at the first sign of tension or disappointment has seeped into the collective consciousness
Relationship experts agree: That’s not real friendship.
- Honing your ability to work through conflict in a long-term platonic relationship is no different than learning to do so in a committed romantic partnership.
- Open, non-blaming conversations lead to deeper intimacy.
- When the challenge arises, don't run from the chance to deepen your bond.
