[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your relationship with your family? What was your house like growing up? Do you like being alone or struggle to be alone?

Also, when there is a mismatch in friendship expectations between you and another person, often they are being influenced by the answers to these same questions. Like you probably have some issues to work out, but they likely do to. Almost everyone is working out some childhood issues in their adult relationships. I think we forget how much this impacts friendships, but you really start to realize it in your 30s and 40s when patterns become obvious.

I haven't read it yet, but recently ordered the book How to do the Work, by Dr. Nicole Le Pera. I follow her in Instagram and she is really good at identifying these issues and breaking it down. I think we all have a duty to the people in our lives to try and figure this out so that we can bring our best selves to our relationships.[/quote]

NP, I just got her book too!  I will look her up on Instagram.  Hoping the book is helpful for implementing the work itself.  [/quote]
