We all want to make, keep and maintain successful friendships, but sometimes we are the ones holding ourselves back. Our own behaviours and habits can keep us feeling lonely and from making the friends that we deserve in our lives.  Today, Lauren and Nicole discuss the 5 common things we often think and feel when it comes to friends, the ways we behave that can prevent us from experiencing friendship and how to fix them.  In this episode they discuss: Why you need to stop believing everyone else is having more fun than you. Why we are wrong about how much we actually enjoy being social The real reason we think people don’t like us The easiest way to connect to someone and make a friendship stronger If you have been making excuses for why you are not seeing your friends, maintaining your friendships, or making the effort to forge new connections, then by the end of this episode you’ll understand the reasons why you and a lot of us may be behaving this way and have the solutions to help you rethink it. Plus, the 10 second daily habit you can start today that will enhance and strengthen your friendships.  If you liked this episode and want to be part of the club, come follow us on all our socials:  To Listen To Our Brand New Podcast 40ISH - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/40ish/id1757876983 To order our book “HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?” click here  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Have-You-Tried-This-Only/dp/1801293139/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1O7EA4ZF1O5CS&keywords=have+you+tried+this&qid=1699449028&sprefix=have+you+tried+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-2 For Our Exclusive Merch - https://self-care-club.myspreadshop.co.uk/ Join Our Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1115099072702743/?ref=share_group_link Instagram   https://www.instagram.com/selfcareclubpod/ YouTube https://youtube.com/c/SelfCareClub TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLnXyS1S/ Email [email protected]  Website www.theselfcareclub.co.uk Studio production by @launchpodstudios Music by purpleplanet.com Learn more about your ad choices.
