"I always feel like I'm too much for my friends. Like they have too much going on in their lives for my drama," she said. "It's easier to isolate myself than it is to call someone up and just cry on the phone because I still find that difficult" The first generation of women who are choosing to do what we want, where we want to go 'is taking up space professionally, romantically'
Does the health of your Mum determine the health of your friendships? This week, in your #FreeTherapyFix, Louise and Stephanie explore how our early relationships with our mothers can impact our ability to form and maintain friendships with women later in life.
The pair dive into:
π« How does the emotional inconsistency of your mother affect your social relationships with others?
π« Exploring the psychology of the βgirls girlβ and the βonly friends with guyβs girlβ
π« Have you ever felt too much for your friends?
π« Why some people isolate themselves from their friends in times of need
π« And why it is never too late to find, work on or nurture your female friendships.
Louise & Stephanie also discuss Louiseβs own personal experiences with βfeeling too muchβ in a friendship, and why she often wants to isolate. Stephanie drops some light bulb truths.
