Friendship Articles and More

It’s the Friday Friendship roundup! I see so many friendship-related things throughout the week, either because I find them myself or people send them to me. I’m going to keep sharing them on my site twice a month.

Articles and Episodes About Friendship I’ve Liked Lately

I loved this quick episode of the podcast, Kelly Corrigan Wonders, from 4/15/22. “What Friendship Really Takes.”

Anna Goldfarb’s article in Vox, “How to Handle a Lopsided Friendship,” included really good tips and advice. It’s clearly a big friendship issue. One of my highest rated episodes was the one with Pam Moore, “The Friend Who Never Initiates Contact.”

I’m still hearing from people who appreciated my honest conversation about big friendship breakups when I was a guest on Jill Smokler’s podcast, She’s Got Issues.

I enjoyed reading about the endings of friendships from a male point of view. Damon Young asks in The Washington Post, “How Do you Mourn the End of a Friendship?”
