CHAPTER

What's Need About Friendships?

i'm probably a little more extraverted in terms comfortable, certainly, talking to different peoplea and making dfferent types of relationships. One of my friends that is much more interverted, one of the things about having a relationship with her is that she's really like, these are my people. So i think itis important to keep in mind here is that, ye, there can be conflict between different kind of personality styles or attachment styles when it comes to friendship. But part of the beauty of friendship is you can have friends for different reasons, right? You can have a friend that you talk to about really important stuff, but you can also have friends tat you're always

if you have, like, an extravert an intravert being friends, like the extravert might have like, you know, hey, you know, my expectation for you is that you now your just around whenever a if you can't make it, no big deal. The intravert be like, hey, where were you? You were supposed to be here. Yes,
Speaker 1
those kind of miscommunications could come up. One thing that im actually cana thinking of my own experience too, is that i'm probably a little more extraverted in terms comfortable, certainly, talking to different peoplea and making dfferent types of relationships. And one of my friends that from college that is much more interverted, one of the things about having a relationship with her is that she's really like, these are my people. So what's needis is that when we're, you know, able to hang out, which doesn't happen nearly as often as it did when we are in college, we are actually going to more depth of conversation, all the things that a more introverted friendship looks like. So i was able to enact those in my relationship with her, and i went in a way i wasn't really necessarily able to do with a lot of my more casual friendships. So i think itis important to keep in mind here is that, ye, there can be conflict between different kind of personality styles or attachment styles when it comes to friendship. But part of the beauty of friendship is you can have friends for different reasons, right? You can have a friend that you talk to about really important stuff, but you can also have friends tat you're always having a great time, becauseever one's laughing about everything. You can have a friend who's fantastic for being in a softball team together, or some one thatyou like to go out and have a drink and shoot pool with. But can have another friend who is somebody you would be more likely to invite to ik social gathering, or someonewom you might like to work with. So what's need about friendships is that, because they're not exclusive, we can find different parts of ourselves being developed through those relationships we cultivate with others.
