Hi everyone! I’m at a time in my life where I’m refelcting more and more about friendship, I’m learning to rely on my friends more, to show up for them in ways I havent before, but I’m also going through some hard times with a few friends. This is new for me as I never used to care enough about group dynamics, I just hated how humans are in friend groups and kept my distance, showing up only when I felt like it. But now things are chainging. In my life I’ve always cut people off when I felt for whatever reason the friendship wasnt working, I was really quick in doing this without really questioning what was going on, just letting it happen, I don’t want to do this anymore, not that way, I want to be honest with my friends and talk about issues in our relationship until we can make a decision etc. I want to learn how to give friendships the same importance I would give a romantic partner, even if in different ways.
That’s enough rambling I think, the point is I’m looking for books about friendship, I would prefer non fiction, maybe letters of writers on the topic, or a collection of essays on the topic, something like this. I’m still open to different suggestions tho. I wish everyone who’s reading this is blessed with beautiful supportive friends in their lives to share joys and sorrows with. Thank you!!
