#149 - June Friendship Challenge: Ask a Friend For a Favor
Description
Welcome to the Dear Nina Friendship Challenge for June: Ask a friend for a favor.
Why? Asking a friend for a favor demonstrates trust and intimacy. It helps your friend feel closer to you merely because you asked, and this will strengthen the friendship. Unfortunately, people really struggle asking for help, even for the smallest of favors. This month I want you to practice this important skill!
I also ask you to consider if you struggle asking friends for help because you're afraid people will then ask you for help. That's how friendship works! We have to be inconvenienced sometimes for friends and community, which is good for relationships AND for society.
I packed a lot into a 12-minute episode. I hope you'll join me in the June Dear Nina Friendship Challenge.
