Some friendships feel like oxygen, and others feel like walking on glass. That gap isn’t about who’s good or bad—it’s about fit. I unpack how to spot true compatibility, why “safety over spark” is the most reliable filter, and what a classic fable about two pots floating down a river can teach us about choosing the right company. If you’ve ever left a coffee date feeling smaller, second‑guessing your words, or buzzing with someone else’s judgments, this conversation will help you name what’s happening and protect your energy without guilt.
