Ask An Anonymous Friendship Question

Ask an anonymous friendship question

Looking for practical advice in a compassionate tone that won’t use your predicament as a jumping off point for a rant? You’ve come to the right place. I’ve been answering friendship dilemmas since 2014, and I love helping people move past whatever issue they’re facing in their friendships. It’s my favorite topic! I was the friendship advice columnist at The Herstories Project for four years, and when the editors closed the site, I moved the column here. All the topics I’ve covered in the past are listed here. I know I haven’t heard everything yet. Try me!

All questions are anonymous. You don’t even need to write in your email address. I look forward to hearing from you.
