Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship #101 - Best Friends, Friendship Trios, Being More Direct with Friends, and More
It's the first official "ask me anything" episode in honor of 100 episodes!
The questions came from my anonymous inbox, my Facebook group (Dear Nina: The Group), or through Instagram and TikTok-- both @dearninafriendship.
I had a great time answering questions and I couldn't even get to everything so I will keep doing these every so often.
Some of the topics I covered in under 30 minutes:
- Be more direct with friends
- Awkwardness after ending a friendship
- Friendship trios, rectangles
- Letting friends hangout without you
- Don’t assume friends operate like you do
- “Best” friends as a difficult term
- Teens who never make plans
- Not ditching certain friends for the "popular" friend
- Friends who dismiss a topic that you're trying to discuss
- Some of my friendship history
- And more!
