Episode notes

The people that have more conflict have more quality friendships, says Dr. Franco. People can use anger of hope to learn how to do conflict in a way that brings us together. Reminding means saying that you want to have this discussion because you are invested in the person and you love them. And then it's me engaging in perspective taking by offering to Billy what was going on for you in those moments.

1. Practical ways to make a friend and become what Dr. Franco calls a “Super-friend.”

2. How to address issues with a friend even if you hate conflict.

3. Why expressing anger is more likely to deepen a relationship than destroy it.

4. How we need to express vulnerability to make friends – but first, what the hell is vulnerability?

5. Destroying the unhelpful myth that friendship happens organically.
