#683: The Red Flags You Shouldn't Ignore in Friendships

#683: The Red Flags You Shouldn't Ignore in Friendships

Author: Trish Blackwell December 23, 2025 Duration: 34:35

Friendship shouldn't be confusing, but it often is — especially when you're a kind, high-capacity, emotionally generous person.

The truth?

Not everyone will make the effort you make.

Not everyone is meant to be trusted at a deep level.

And that's okay.

Today we're talking about how to read friendship signals, how to stop being hurt by people who don't reciprocate, and how to choose the right people to trust — without becoming cynical, guarded, or lonely.
