What Do You Expect From A Friend?

Welcome back to our friendship miniseries! This week we started off talking about how to bring up conflict with a friend, and ended up talking about what we look for in friendship.

We began the episode asking whether you find it more difficult to bring up problems with a friend or with a romantic partner, and discussing our own experiences bringing up conflict with each other.

We then discuss what you should expect from a friend, and when it’s okay to bring things up if you friend isn’t fulfilling your expectations. There are different boundaries around when it’s acceptable to bring up something that’s a problem with the friendship itself and something about them as a person that you have a problem with.

We also cover what kind of people we choose to surround ourselves with— obviously we don’t expect our friends to be perfect people but we discuss whether it’s important to us for our friends to have the same values as us.

This is one of the few episodes where we’ve change our own minds about something by the end of the episode, we hope we change how you think about friendship too!

We’d love to hear more from you about your friendships. You can find us on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook @sextraspodcast, our website www.sextraspodcast.com or join our Patreon community where you’ll get access to the full video episode, bonus and behind-the-scenes content and even get a free sticker.

Next week we’re joined by female friendship expert Shasta Nelson, we look forward to seeing you then!
