UNFLTRD THOUGHTS: Sorry, But We Can’t Be...

Unswtnd+Unfltrd
About this episode

On this week’s “Unfltrd Thoughts", we talk about how to handle finding out your friend’s true colors.

Our differences make us who we are and when it comes to our friend groups it’s those differences that lead to intriguing conversations and learning more about the other.

But what if those differences go against or negate your own life's values?

We’re not talking about rooting for an opposing sports team here, but what if, for instance, you find out your friend supports Trump?

We share our thoughts on discovering those friendship deal breakers and how we would respond to a similar situation.

Head to our Instagram page @unsweetenedandunfiltered and join the conversation. Would you stay friends with someone who supported a cause you are firmly against?
