Do all my friends secretly hate me?

Why does making friends as an adult feel like mission impossible?

In this episode, Melissa explores what it means to be a friend while grappling with a friendship break up. Along the way, she interviews Anna Goldfarb (annagoldfarb.com), journalist and author of “Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valuable Connections (amazon.com/dp/1649632088?lv=shuf&channelId…),” and Dr. Marisa G. Franco (drmarisagfranco.com), professor and author of “Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—And Keep—Friends (drmarisagfranco.com/platonic-the-book)”. They explain why friendship can get so complicated as you get older and how to build closer bonds.
