"Making new friends as an adult is hard." This simple post from Mel went viral, sparking over 10,000 comments and resonating with countless people.
In her discussion, Mel identifies 5 lies we tell ourselves about friendship that might be holding us back from building the meaningful, fulfilling relationships we crave. The show also reveals a study that shows how many hours it really takes adults to consider someone a “friend”. The surprising results may just change how you think about adult friendships.
The aim is not to find the right answers, conclusions, or win the argument, but to discover different points of view and get to know people to enrich your life 🙂
