Ep10 No New Friends: Seasonality of Friendships
from The Midnight Girlcast · host The Midnight Girlcast
Why did we have so many friends in 2016… and only a handful now?This week, Sarah and Anna unpack the seasonality of friendship and why shrinking circles aren’t a sign that something went wrong. From nostalgia-fueled throwbacks to real psychology and anthropology, we explore how proximity, life transitions, and emotional capacity shape who stays close over time.We break down the science behind social limits, why adulthood naturally reshuffles relationships, and how modern research reframes friendship as an allocation of time and emotional energy not a popularity contest.If you’ve ever looked back at old photos and wondered where everyone went, this episode is your reminder that depth often replaces volume and that growth doesn’t mean loss.Settle in. This one’s about making peace with who’s in your circle now.Follow us:Instagram | @themidnightgirlcast Tik Tok | @themidnightgirlcast Youtube | @themidnightgirlcast Apple PodcastsGoodnight Midnight Girls
