Episode #109: Let's say you know that a friendship has run its course, but the friend has done nothing wrong. How do we go about distancing from a friend or ending a friendship?

Today's summer rewind is a re-release of one of our favourites that we keep coming back to. We'll be back in September with brand new interviews!Making friends can be intimidating at any age, but it feels especially daunting as adults.

Life gets busy, people move away, and milestones come at different times. Even though this seems to be universal, it can still feel like something is wrong with us. If we've learned anything along our adulting journey, it's that friendships are crucial to our mental and physical wellbeing. So this week, we're learning how to prioritize the most underrated of our relationships, how to make new ones, and  why it's so damn hard to maintain friends as an adult. We're not the experts, so we called in Dr. Miriam Kirmayer. Having spent over a decade researching the science of friendship and helping people live more connected lives, Dr. Miriam is a clinical psychologist, writer, speaker, and leading expert on friendship and social connection. She's appeared on some of our favourite media outlets, from Call Her Daddy to Vogue and The New York Times.She sits on the Mental Health Advisory Committee for Wondermind, a media company co-founded by Selena Gomez, and is a member of The GenWell Project, a human connection movement. She also has a private practice and is one of the first and only licensed clinical psychologists to specialize in friendship therapy!Join us as we chat about:Why our friendships dwindle as we ageDr. Miriam's best tips for making new friendsOvercoming the fear of rejectionHow many hours it actually takes to establish a true friendshipHow our attachment styles affect our friendshipsAdapting to new life stages and navigating changing relationshipsWhy one friend can't check every boxHow to prioritize friendships (and why it's good for your health!)Advice on letting go of friendships that have run their courseWe hope this episode helps you feel less alone and inspires you to get back into the friendship market.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 7, 2024 is: gossip • GAH-sup • verb To gossip is to talk about the personal lives of other people. // The two siblings often gossip with each other about their neighbors via texting. See the entry > Examples: “Not all gossip is bad, [psychologist, Miriam] Kirmayer said, nor does it always mean someone who talks about others will talk about you. ‘Sometimes, our friends are gossiping as a need to secure support or to set out our perspectives and experiences,' she said. It can be a way to work through a problem or grow closer via shared values.” — Julia Pugachevsky, Business Insider, 26 Mar. 2024 Did you know? Merriam-Webster here, your one and only source for the juicy history of the English lexicon (including gossip, girl). It's no secret that gossiping often involves discussing the intimate details of other people's lives, but did you know that the origins of gossip are a bit more chummy, and even a tad divine? Word on the street is that the Old English word sibb, meaning “relative” or “kinsman,” long ago combined with the word god (meaning, well, “god”) to form godsibb, which referred to a person who was spiritually related to another, specifically by being a baptismal sponsor. Today we call such a person a godparent. Over the centuries, godsibb changed both in form and in meaning. In Middle English, gossib came to be used for a close friend or chum as well as for a godparent. From there it was only a short step to gossip, a word for anyone—not just a friend, relative, or sponsor—known for spilling the tea. By the early 17th century, gossip had expanded into the verb use that has been the talk of the town ever since.

We enter into motherhood with the promise of a village of support, and when we get here it can feel surprisingly lonely. The isolation felt in motherhood is a topic that has come up a lot in sessions with my clients and with the pandemic forcing even more isolation, a season of life that could already be lonely to navigate has become even tougher for some of us. So, I asked Dr. Miriam Kirmayer here to help us navigate maintaining friendships and how to form new ones.  Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3v6HokP

Dr. Miriam Kirmayer is a clinical psychologist, writer, speaker, and relationship expert who has spent the last decade studying adult friendships and connection. -On this episode we dive into why it's so hard to make friends as an adult, what are some reasons why relationships end and how we can cultivate and make new friends as we attempt to “adult”. -“Unlike our relationships with our partners or family members, there's no outright expectation that we have to stay involved in our friend's lives. Our friendships are voluntary and it's the ongoing choice we make to stay connected to our friends that makes the support we received from them so incredibly validating and important for our overall well-being and self-worth.” -Connect with Dr. Kirmayer and her research: www.miriamkirmayer.com, @miriamkirmayer

What if your next good friend is an old friend who drifted away from your life for reasons of circumstance and not personality or hurt feelings? If you're in a stage of life where you're lonely, you've moved, or you simply want to shake up your social life, your next solid friendship might be waiting for you in "the past." Yes, reviving old friendships could be the missing piece in your current friendships. Maybe you went to college with this friend, worked together, sat on the bleachers when the kids were young, or met from any number of ways we connect with others. Not all past friendships merit a revival, but some do!My guest is author Kay Paschal, who shares her story of having a really tight group of friends in her 20s who welcomed her back in after decades of little time together. Now retired, Kay is reflective on friendships in a way that inspired me. I think you'll enjoy what she has to say.Some other points discussed in the episode:This very natural fade is somewhat related to episode #109 with Dr. Miriam Kirmayer about "quiet quitting." Kay and I are discussing reviving those friendships when it might fill out your social world in a different stage of life.Friendships fade when "the third place" disappears. (Example: You're no longer on the bleachers together watching the kids play baseball.)The often quoted study about replacing friends every seven years. (Comes up in many episodes!)Avoid burning a bridge in relationships.Developing an "open-door policy" in your mindset about past friendshipsLook for a friend, not a group.Thank that friend who does so much of the planning and inviting! (Shout out to Kay's friend, Linda.)The natural feelings of wondering why you weren't invited when certain members of a group get together without you.Kay: "You can't invite 10 people to everything you do."Meet Kay Paschal:After founding and owning 2 private preschools for 25 years in Atlanta, Kay started a new career by writing a book and speaking to moms and women's organizations and participating in parenting conferences around the country. Kay's book, Insert Giggle Giggle: Laughing Your Way through Raising Kids and Running a Business was recognized by Zibby Owens Media as a Finalist, Best Book for the Parent. Kay also hosts a podcast on Spotify, Kay's Gigglecast, with short, 10-minute grabs on women issues that are easy to consume while multi-tasking through your day.
