How can one maintain friendship for a long time? I have been thinking about how we define strong friendships. What solidifies the bond?
- Shared affinities?
- Shared past?
- Shared knowledge of personhood?
- A deep sense of feeling accepted by the other? Or is it something else?
I’ve heard a lot of people say that their dearest friends are the ones who’ve ultimately stuck around – the ones who stayed amidst all the madness. And I get it. I totally do. That is a prerequisite, more often than not. But in a world where friendship is more virtual than physical, how do we attract good friends, and how can one sustain the bond?
Joining us today is Ella Obans, the author of “Art of True Friendship“. We’d be talking about the importance of friendship and how to attract the right friends.
