INSIGHT

Friendship Changes With Age

  • Friendship needs intentionality as you age and won't look the same as in childhood.
  • Changing social appetite is normal and reflects life stage, not failure.
ADVICE

Prioritize Energy Over Social Pressure

  • Listen to your energy and reframe what recharges you instead of forcing old habits.
  • Choose friendship formats (walks, chats, small hangs) that fit your current life.
ADVICE

Push Back On Moving Goalposts

  • Set boundaries but avoid relationships that constantly change rules or manage you.
  • Push back politely if a friend repeatedly adds new prohibitions that limit mutual conversation.
