In this week’s episode, we are exploring friendships in adulthood. We are born wired for connections, it is a fundamental need of human beings that is just as important as the need of food and water to survive. With the continuous increase of friends/followers on social media platforms, we somehow remain feeling disconnected? It almost feels like the older we get, the fewer friends we have. Do you have friends that just slowly lose contact? Do you maintain friendships in a similar way when compared to your teenage years? How does conflict resolution style in childhood plays a role in friendship in your 20s? In this episode, you will hear us sharing our experience in…
