Social media undeniably has an impact on how we form connections. Today I'm discussing the importance of strong friendships for a happy and healthy life and the challenges and complexities involved in sustaining and making new friendships. I talk about acknowledging the differences between acquaintances, peers, community, and true friends, noting the transient nature of many friendships versus the few that last a lifetime. I also offer some reflection points and tips for making new friends, emphasizing the value of vulnerability, openness, and actively seeking out connections with others who share core values, despite differing opinions or lifestyles.
