#76 - Yes, Reach Out to Your Friends During a Crisis

This episode of Dear Nina focuses on reaching out amidst turmoil (this time in particular, in the Middle East), navigating conversations when you’re not sure what to say, and the profound impact of letting someone know you’re thinking of them.

Questions discussed include: 

• Can a simple message of love and support make a difference to a friend during a crisis?
• Is it fair to expect friends to post on social media? 
• At what point do you let friends know you're disappointment they didn't reach out?
• How do you handle it when you see friends publicly post their anger about others' silence and you suspect they might be referring to you?
• What might keep people from reaching out personally or expressing their opinions publicly?
