I love doing these friendship roundups! I see so many friendship-related things, 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

“The Trait That ‘Super Friends’ Have in Common” by Dr. Marisa G. Franco in The Atlantic. Dr. Franco will be on Dear Nina on 9/6/22. Win a copy of her new book Platonic right now on my instagram post!

“Why You Always Think Friends Are Mad At You–Even When They’re Not” by Allie Volpe in The Washington Post 

WATCH– Never Have I Ever on Netflix. I love the storyline in season #3 with Devi’s mom, Nalini, and the mother-in-law pushing her to make new friends. Which she does! And it’s just a great series.
