Something Was Wrong · S26 Ep6: Friendship, Attachment, and Betrayal with Dr. Marisa G. Franco · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

But like under what conditions can friendship realistically be repaired?

And what distinguishes irreversible damage versus the sometimes just natural discomfort that comes with having to work through things with friends?

Yeah, I think a lot of this is going to depend on people's ability to perspective take and take accountability.

So can the other person recognize the harm that they've committed?

Can the other person acknowledge how it affected you?

Can the other person make amends, which is how do they take action going forward to treat you better?

So if like a friend broke your confidence, for example, maybe they shared your mental health diagnosis.

Instead of saying, why are you making a big deal out of this?

I just told one person.

They're able to say, I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have told them.

That was my bad.

In the future, I'm definitely going to be better at keeping your confidence.

Thank you so much for telling me.

Right.

That is an honest repair versus if the other person isn't.

isn't doing those things and we continue to move forward in the friendship, then we might be exposing ourselves to more harm because this person hasn't showed themselves as someone that's going to correct when they do something that harms us.

And so I think people's access to us should be dependent on their treatment of us.

That's actually been revelatory for me because as someone who studies friendship, thinking about myself as a ride or die friend and that if I get to a certain level of closeness, I'm going to be invested in always trying to repair and always trying to stay close.

But in fact, I guess it's really from writing my book on the science of self-worth.
