This week, we kick off the two-part series on friendship with the topic of making and losing friends. Join us as we go through our personal journey of friendships and strategies for making friends as well as what the research has to say about what it takes to make a friend. Finally, we talk about relationship decay and why we have lost friends in our own lives.
TLDR: Reasons for losing friends include changing locations or circumstances, making new friends, and decreased effort invested into relationships.
