The Women's Running Podcast Ep 9. Am I Nuts... For worrying about friends?
Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the 9th episode in a special series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor.
In this podcast, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, but with many of our worries, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts. So for this series, we’re going to be chatting about the worries that make us feel that way.

Friends
This is a very personal one for Esther: are we nuts for worrying about how many friends we have? Friendship groups wax and wane, but sometimes it can be easy to compare ourselves with TV programmes and stuff online that suggests that we “should” have hundreds of close friends. We delve into how our groups have changed since childhood, the feelings that make us feel inadequate in terms of our friends, and what we do to support the friendships that we have. We also talk about the concept of a “best friend” and whether that’s something that grown-up women need, as well as the difference between men’s friendships and women’s friendships.
