Description

In this episode, I talk about the struggle with friendships and how they can be hard af to maintain, especially if you don't have a solid relationship with YOU.

When they feel good, friendships provide us with support, community, social interaction and a stronger sense of self... when they don't feel good? That can be a whole other overthinking anxiety ridden story...

Ever felt left out, ignored, rejected by your message being missed in a WhatsApp group? Do you then sit, overthinking about what is it YOU have done to make that happen? Or ended the friendship without even questioning purely based on one interaction?  This is one example of how insecure attachment in friendship can show up for you.... dive in to find out more!
