Friendship Articles and More
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.

Jo Piazza’s piece in Substack, “I Don’t Want to Text Anymore”
- I enjoy checking in on the Captain Awkward advice column from time to time. Here’s a good one from a person whose friend will never let them hang up even when the conversation is clearly over.
- I was a guest on The Creative Superheroes Podcast last week, and I LOVED my conversation with host, Andrea Scher. We covered so many aspects of adult friendships, and I got a bit more personal than I sometimes do on my own show when I’m highlighting the guest.
- “The 3:6 Rule of Making Adult Friendships” I found this so interesting. And I agree with it. By Jillian Quint in PureWow
- “During My Divorce, Close Friends Became a Parachute” by Maggie Smith in the NYT
Latest Anonymous Friendship Question
The most recent question is about letting a 20-year friendship fade away when it’s clear the other person isn’t interested in keeping in touch, visiting, or traveling together. But I also advise: “Do not burn it down.”
Have an anonymous question or an episode idea you want to share with me?
You can do that here and I will never know it was from you.
