• EP 7 : Why Am I Losing My Friends?
    Apr 5 2023

    In this episode, Shreya chats with guests Aishwarya and Aniket about why it's difficult to maintain friends as you grow older.

    Aniket explains that he's moved around a lot, which has made it easy for him to make new friends but tough to keep them long-term. Aishwarya is good at making new friends, but she's found it hard to stay in touch with old ones.

    The group talks about the difficulty of finding people who share your interests and the challenges of balancing work and personal life. They also share some tips on making new friends and building stronger relationships.

    The episode concludes with a Buzzfeed quiz where science proves that there are six types of friends, and the audience can learn more about their types. You can take the quiz too at https://www.buzzfeed.com/angelicaamartinez/friendship-test.

    As the season comes to an end, the hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their friendships and revisit previous episodes.
