The Question that Comes Up in All New Adult Friendships - Letters From Esther Live

There is something unique about connecting in a new group space with new people in real time. You can walk in alone, but you won’t be lonely for very long. But there is always the question: how much of myself should I share?

This is a question that comes up in all new adult friendships. And it’s a topic that has fascinated me my entire adult life. When I moved from my tight-knit Belgium community to Israel for university, I was perplexed by how one makes friends without having grown up with each other—without knowing each others’ parents and seeing inside each others’ homes. When I moved to America, the question evolved: how do you make friends with people who know nothing about where you come from?

In this month's workshop, we'll explore the anxiety around making new friends and the mental health impact of turning toward people, rather than away.

I’ll be discussing this month’s newsletter on the question that comes up in all new adult friendships.
