How To Maintain A Good Friendship

In this episode of Across the Board Podcast, we discuss human connection in the form of friendship. The group talks about what makes a good friend, why we may confide in some but not with others, and differentiating friends from best friends. The topic of making friends in college vs. after college brings up some funny old memories of their college days back in the dorms. Then, communication and respect are highlighted as two essential ingredients for a good friendship. Being friends with your parents, childhood friends, and even ex’s is discussed followed by a deep dive into the concept of cutting people off. How do you do it? Is cutting someone off the same as burning bridges? The group finishes the episode off by discussing whether or not friendship is the most important relationship.
