Roy Kim and Wilson Wang are joined again by Hiroko Hsieh, continuing our series on the topic of Relationships. In this episode, we talk about toxic friendships. Some of our talking points:
- Being lonely can make us make poor relationship choices
- Narcissism, Codependency, and Insecure Attachment
- Is there something about us that makes us stay in toxic friendships?
- Are Christians called to be close with everyone out of agape love?
- Asian collective and loyal culture makes it extra challenging to navigate toxic friendships
- Empathy and differentiation
- Concrete ideas about dealing with toxic friendships
- Jesus' modeling of Tiers of Friendship
- Resources for us to get better at navigating friendships
As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you. Drop us a line:
