Signs You are outgrowing friendships
In this episode of Seated with Strangers, hosts Khaliah, Fawnne and Stephanie delve into the topic of signs you are outgrowing friendships. They discuss if friendships need to evolve with age and are we searching for mature friendships?
Our hosts highlight the idea that friendships change, and that is perfectly okay. As individuals grow and evolve, it is natural for some friendships to unravel. It is important to recognize when a friendship is no longer serving both parties and to let go without any animosity.
