Psychology explains that we often become bonded with people through similar shared experiences. These experiences create a shared narrative that both people can tap into and it also imitates similarity because they've been through or are currently experiencing the same things that you are. This links really perfectly with the other major factor and life change that we observe, which is that our priorities begin to differ. With that, our values, our attitudes and what we enjoy doing.
This week on the show we deep dive into why we outgrow our friendships as we enter our 20’s. We often have a romanticised idea that friendships last a lifetime, but during this decade we realise that it’s a lot more nuanced. We explore the main factors behind the friendship “fizzle”, why it’s a normal part of growing up, how we can handle the emotions that come along with and learn to value solitude and be selective when it comes to our friendships.
