250. Maintaining long distance friendships in our 20s

The Psychology of your 20s

Friendships are hard. Add in distance and they can get even harder at times. But long distance friendships seem like a fact of life in our 20s as people scatter for school, work, travel, and just because they want to. Whilst it's said that some 50% of these relationships fail, I want to give you the tools to help your long distance friendships succeed. In this episode we discuss:

• The psychological challenges of long distance friendships
• How friendship is influenced by proximity and convenience
• My 4 ingredient friendship formula
• The BEST practical tips for maintaining connection
• What to do when the friendship feels over

Hope you enjoy, and make sure you send to your long distance pal!
