How can I maintain friendships while experiencing personal growth and change, especially if I have a tendency to leave friendships behind or struggle with finding interesting things to talk about? This question is in relation to the episodes #068: Mark’s First "Girlfriend" Tells Her Story with Michelle Dow, Reconnecting After Silence, 1063: Working for Kin Might Just Do You In | Feedback Friday, The Power of Listening, What I Learned In My 20's: Self Love, Boundaries, Comparison & Trusting My Intuition, 627. Meeting the Anger Within + Taking Off Your Mask with Hannah Eden, and 881: Finding Your Angle in Covert Love Triangle | Feedback Friday. Many relationships that were very good at one point faded when I moved on, started new things, or grew professionally. I feel responsible for this, and I have a question about the episode 1055: Is Nephew Forever Lost for Denying Holocaust? | Feedback Friday and the clip Vulnerability in Friendships.
I value friendship, and it is extremely important to me. If I feel that someone is not fully committed to our friendship, I start to feel resentment and have questions. I understand my friend's hesitation to publicly acknowledge our bond, but if I have done everything I can for him, shouldn't I expect the same from him?
