118: Adult Friendships 101: What They Didn't Teach You In School

33 minutes

Do you remember how easy it was to make friends in kindergarten? Do you wish it was still as simple? With the number of people we meet in-person and online, work with, and become friends within our lifetime, learning how to be successful in friendships is a crucial life skill to have. That’s why in today’s episode, we want to do a crash course on everything that they didn’t teach you in school. Welcome to Adult Friendships 101.

In This Episode, You Will Hear About:

Why you may be feeling frustrated with your current relationships

What relational intelligence is and why it matters

The difference between doing things versus doing life with others

The four categories of relationships:

Friends - individuals who are relational assets and not liabilities; a relationship where you can be your authentic self

Associates - a relationship where a common interest or intersecting schedules brings individuals together. The nature of the relationship is friendly, but there isn't a desire to go deeper in the relationship or you don’t know enough about the person to really trust them.

Assignments - a trainee, a mentee, and/or advisee. It is a mentoring relationship where you are the mentor

Advisors - when an individual is mentoring you for a limited amount of time
