Best Friends, Friendship Trios, Being More Direct with Friends, and More

Episode #101: It's the first official "ask me anything" episode in honor of 100 episodes!
The questions came from my anonymous inbox, my Facebook group (Dear Nina: The Group), or through Instagram and TikTok-- both @dearninafriendship.

I had a great time answering questions and I couldn't even get to everything so I will keep doing these every so often.

Some of the topics I covered in under 30 minutes:

Be more direct with friendsAwkwardness after ending a friendshipFriendship trios, rectanglesLetting friends hangout without youDon’t assume friends operate like you do“Best” friends as a difficult termTeens who never make plansNot ditching certain friends for the "popular" friend Friends who dismiss a topic that you're trying to discuss Some of my friendship historyAnd more!
