Actor Steven Weber once said, “It’s easy to break things. Much, much easier, it seems, than building them.” The same holds true for friendships. The process of getting to know someone, finding commonalities, and then going beneath the surface to discover who they really are takes time and effort.
A study has found that Americans have become more isolated, with the average person only having two “confidants,” people “with whom they can discuss really important matters.” This could mean that when you let the light go out of a beautiful friendship, you’re also often isolating yourself.
