Is it just me, or does making new friends as an adult feel so much harder than it used to?
In this solo Office Ours, Dr. Miriam breaks down why the friendships that used to happen by accident stop happening once real life gets in the way. She walks through the three real reasons adult friendship gets harder (vanishing structure, the mere exposure effect, and follow through fatigue), then busts the beliefs quietly keeping people stuck, including the myth that real friendship should feel effortless. You will also hear about the liking gap, the discomfort scale, and the one thing Miriam is adding to her own to do list this week.
This one is for anyone who assumes everyone else already has enough friends.
Pull up a chair. Office Ours are in session.
