What does a healthy friendship look like?

  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Unpacking Life podcast where we deep dive into topics that some people think about in their head but never speak about out loud. Yano the type of stuff you google but hope nobody will see. We openly discuss common problems, conflicts and grey areas in life in order to find solutions together. The goal is to hear different perspectives on these topics so we can gain further insight and take some tips, tricks and hacks to help us squeeze the most juice out of life. I’m your host Theo Thompson and my guest today is Wesley Thomas.    Todays discussion will be, do you have real friends?   In an age where the average person has 500 on social media friends and followers do we really understand what a healthy friendship looks like? Especially today with Covid 19 when most people have spent months in isolation. This is the time when we all need at least one good friendship. But do you think some people put up with bad friendships because they have a need to belong. Maybe a bad friendship gives them the sence of belonging they need? So in this episode i thought it would be good to discuss what a healthy friendship looks like from our perspective.   Some of the keys to good friendship discussed.
    1. You tell them bad news and they listen.
    2. You tell them good news and they celebrate as if it is their win
    3. A real friend will challenge you and when needed cause conflict and tell you the things you need to hear.
    4. Give rather then just take
