After 45 Years: What Nobody Tells You About Adult Friendships (Stop Doing This) | Clutterbug Episode #333

from Clutterbug - Real-Life Hacks and Tips to Declutter, Organize and Clean your Home Fast · host Clutterbug

Hey Clutterbugs! Making friends as an adult is hard, especially when you have ADHD, struggle with loneliness, or feel like you have people in your life but still feel alone. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 types of friendships you actually need for your mental health: the Cheerleader, the Challenger, the Collaborator, the Comfort Friend, and the Connector. I'm getting really vulnerable today about how badly I suck at making and maintaining friendships, why ADHD makes it even harder (object permanence, rejection sensitivity, social battery—all of it), and how growing up in an emotionally unavailable home taught me to ghost people who actually like me. If you've ever felt like friendships are exhausting work, or you're not sure what type of friend you're missing, this episode is for you. And just like your closet, your relationships need an audit. Which of the 5 types are you missing? Which one are you for the people you love? And how do you actually make new friends as a grown-up without it feeling awkward and terrible? 💬 Tell me in the comments: Which of the 5 types of friends are you missing?
