Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

QUICKIE: This week Tatiana and Amanda are back and chatting about Friend Breakups. This episode covers the uncharted territory of abrupt endings to friendship. Where romantic endings come with hallmark romcoms, songs, and sob nights with close friends, a friend breakup is eerily...hush-hush. Usually coupled with grief, loneliness, anger, confusion, and shame regardless of what side of the breakup you're on.

On this Quickie we cover:

  • our experiences with friend breakups
  • the circle of closeness theory
  • tips on breaking up with a friend
  • ways that a breakup can effect us emotionally
  • how to know it's time for a friend breakup
  • our reframe of quality > quantity
  • what each of us intentionally seek in close friendships
  • what our red flags/ boundaries are in friendship
