Adult Friendships: Why Is It So Hard to Make and Keep Friends?
Details
Making friends as an adult is hard. But keeping them? That can be even messier.
How often should friends check on each other? Can you genuinely be friends with someone you barely speak to? Is it okay to date your friend's ex? And when does loyalty become too much?
We all have opinions about friendship. But we don't always agree.
Join NST Professionals for a lively, interactive discussion on adult friendships, where we'll challenge assumptions, share experiences, hear different perspectives, and hopefully make a few new connections along the way.
### 💬 What to expect
1. Agree or Disagree?
We'll throw out some controversial friendship statements. You pick a side, defend your opinion, and hear what others think. You might even change your mind!
2. What Would You Do?
Five realistic friendship dilemmas. From being excluded by your own friends to dealing with betrayal, we'll explore how different people would handle tricky situations.
3. The Open Floor
Got a question about making friends, maintaining friendships, or navigating complicated relationships? Ask the room and hear different perspectives.
And of course, there'll be opportunities to meet and connect with new people.
### 👥 Who is this for?
Whether you're actively looking to make friends, open to new connections, trying to maintain your existing friendships, or simply interested in understanding friendship dynamics, you're welcome.
Coming alone? That's absolutely fine! You won't be the only person hoping to meet someone new.
This is a relaxed, respectful space where everyone is welcome to contribute, but nobody is pressured to share personal experiences.
