Are you struggling to make new friends? Is your friendship circle a constant source of stress, whether you're dealing with toxic friendships or an unfulfilling social life? Do you struggle to know when it's time (and how) to break up with a friend, or what to do when you and your friends are in different life phases? No one prepares us for how hard making (and keeping) friendships is as an adult–many of us feel alone, so what's the secret to a happy social life? Josie and Alaina are talking with Miriam Kirmayer, a clinical psychologist and leading friendship expert. She has researched the science of social connection for over a decade, so her insight cracks the code to achieving fulfilling relationships as an adult. In this episode, we talk about tangible ways to make new friends, what a healthy social life actually looks like, and why we associate our self-identity with the people we surround ourselves with.Check out Miriam's articles on The Everygirl here.
