And again, why do we instinctively understand that if a marriage or a relationship is struggling, that we expect people to at least try, to at least try the couples therapy before you call the whole thing quits. And yet we don't do that with friendships.

When we have tension with friendships, we're quicker to end the friendship or sit in weird tension or avoid the person than to go to the therapy with the person to try and work through the struggles. We may still end up breaking up, but let's at least put in the effort to rescue this friendship that we claim we care about. I love the idea of friendship counseling.

And by the way, I will stress that I don't believe all friendships need to be at this level. It is perfectly fine to have friends... You need at least a couple, two or three. You need at least a handful. Some have more, some have fewer. But having friends where they're not deep bonds of vulnerability, you just have fun together, totally fine.

You have adventure partners or activity partners, totally fine. And I think that's one of the problems we have in our country, if not the world. I don't know about other languages. I only know about English. But one of the problems, I think, is language. So for example, if you have stage four liver cancer or you have a mild melanoma, the problem is both of those things are called cancer.

Exactly. I was like, you're fine. You know? What did Larry David say? It's the good cancer. And I think we have very few taxonomies. We have very few words for friends. You know? And so I've started using... Best friend, friend, friend. Yeah, that's pretty much it. And even then, best friend is sometimes a little overused. So I've started really trying to add more language.
