drifting apart from friends in your 20s - #015

from Finding Solace · host Solace

Growing apart from friends can feel confusing and sad, especially when you start realizing you are not on the same path anymore. This episode is about accepting that friendships are meant to evolve, and that drifting is often a natural side effect of both people changing rather than anyone “failing.”I talk about looking back on old friendships with nostalgia without trying to force them to feel the same, and how shifting values, habits, and lifestyles can quietly create distance over time. I also get into why it is okay to outgrow certain dynamics, how to recognize when a friendship is no longer aligned with who you are becoming, and how making peace with that opens up space for new, healthier connections.---Check out my habit tracking app:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://feelwrite.app/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoy the show?
