Friendship Love Bombing and Ghosting

Dear Media
About this episode

We know you love friendship episodes, so it’s time for another one! We’re discussing friendship love bombing (what it looks like, why people do it, and the ways our listeners have experienced it) and friendship one-night-stands (what they are, how to navigate them, and if you can make a one-night-stand into a real friendship). We’re also talking about the number of friends the average person has/can handle, and how we categorize our friendships. Before we get into the topic, we’re chatting about why you’re not supposed to sit on the toilet too long, Ashley’s email inbox behavior vs. Rayna’s, and the popular sport we hate. Enjoy!
