Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship

#124 - Friends who criticize you; Friends who ignore the group chat then change the plans; Feeling excluded when friends hit it off


Listen Later

I love answering listeners' anonymous friendship dilemmas. It's a letter spotlight episode with three short anonymous letters from listeners with various friendship issues. I did my best to give practical, helpful advice.

The subjects are:

  1. A listener whose friend makes little digs at her friend whenever they shop together.
  2. A listener whose friend always chimes in late to the plan-making in the group text thread then wants to make changes.
  3. A listener who wants to introduce her friends to each other, but is worried about getting excluded eventually.


The full text of the letters can be found here on my site. (dearninafriendship.com episode 124)
