Friend Forward

Should you change your personality to make (and keep!) friends? An examination of The Big 5 Personality Traits at the Intersection of Friendship with friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson [Patreon Excerpt]


Listen Later

Welcome back to a new season, baby! (And we're on YouTube!)

----

Listen, I know this might sound harsh, but hear me out:

There is a research study that examines the ways that certain aspects of your personality impact the way you form and maintain friendships. This week we're :

  • digging into the study to better understand how we can better show up in friendships
  • evaluating the personality domains that most impact relationship quality
  • getting homework to help us adapt the parts of our personality that have gotten in the way of quality friendships while maintaining our authenticity [Patreon exclusive]

While you should definitely keep the essence of who you are and not look for ways to adapt to please others, it's worth evaluating the ways that some (malleable!) aspects of your personality might need to be adapted if they're having a consistently negative impact on your friendships.
