We'll always be friends because you know too much. 040522
Today I'm reflecting on friendships and questioning what women want from women. Welcome to a space to reflect light on three things, and please share in comments. Day 39!
Throughout the last two years, my threshold for people and their behavior has changed. Friendships have really shifted, communities have as well. I mean, if we still like our friends today, that’s a good sign. I think about this a lot because I have cut off a few (really close) girlfriends due to their lack of empathy and their pure selfishness throughout the pandemic, and their so-called politics about it all. I know I’m not the only one who may be experiencing this, and I have certainly broken up with men for much, much less.
Speaking of men, a striking part of this situation is that while a few close women friendships for me personally have been the most disappointing, some of my male friendships have become closer. Like that was possible? It is.
What do women want from other women? What are the emotional repercussions breaking up with a friend after five years? Or 25 years? Or more? This is a topic I’ve been exploring due to my personal experiences and hearing recent stories from others on this issue as well. It’s a deeply complicated and difficult thing to go through. We don’t talk about breaking up with friends nearly as much as we talk about breaking up with romantic lovers or sexual partners. Thoughts?
From sex and family drama to work woes and hangovers, what's on your mind today?
Cheers,
Jess
