Exploring Adult Friendship, and Why It’s Been So Hard to Build
Adult friendship rarely falls apart all at once. It just quietly gets crowded out by work, family, and moving, until one day you realize your calendar is full and your list of people to call is not. In this episode, Jolyn breaks down why adult friendship has become so difficult, drawing on the Surgeon General’s own story of loneliness, Benjamin Franklin’s approach to building friendship on purpose, and a real client story for those whose social anxiety makes even trying feel impossible. This episode closes with a specific, doable Pause for the week.
