3 WAYS TO MAINTAIN FRIENDSHIP IN ADULT

Hey hey lemon8 babes 🍋

So today i wanna share one topic on how to maintain friendships in adult. To maintain healthy friendships, you have to spend at least a little time together. If you want your social network to be a strong and stable one, you have to put in the effort. And trust us: You do want health-boosting friendships in your life. Here are a few tried and true tips to help you protect your relationships with your true friends.

1. Choose your circle of friends carefully.

If your intention is to build healthy relationships, you need to choose wisely, especially when trying to make new friends. You don’t need a large group of friends. You have less time now to devote to friendship, and you need to focus on the ones that enhance your life. Think about the people who encourage you, give you honest feedback, make you laugh from the depths of your belly, and show up at 3 am when your house is on fire. These are the people you dedicate your time and effort to. Let everyone else be a casual acquaintance. Remember: You can’t devote the necessary time and effort needed for a strong friendship to more than a few people.

2.Be the kind of friend you want to have.

Think about the aspects of friendship that you value and the things that you expect your close friends to deliver. Then, deliver on those things for them. If you want friends that are there through thick and thin, you have to be that kind of friend, plain and simple.

3. Keep your expectations realistic.

Your friendships aren’t going to look like they did in high school. That doesn’t mean they can’t be mutually beneficial and healthy, but you need to be realistic. Not every person you attempt to connect with is going to be a good friend match. Not all of your friends are in a place where they can devote time and energy to friendships. The best way to avoid hurt feelings is to avoid planning or dreaming about meetups before you consult your friend. Don’t spend two days planning this amazing night out in your head and then contact your bestie. That’s a recipe for disappointment. On the flip side, if a friend is consistently not interested in setting aside time for you, it might be time to move on from that friendship. You’re not a doormat. You’re valuable. Your time is of worth, and your friendship is valuable. Don’t waste it on those who aren’t interested.

I hope this tips helps you on how to maintain a friendship in adult💗☁️
