How can I maintain friendships while experiencing personal growth and change, especially if I have a tendency to leave friendships behind or struggle with finding interesting things to talk about? This question is in relation to the episodes #068: Mark’s First "Girlfriend" Tells Her Story with Michelle Dow, Reconnecting After Silence, 1063: Working for Kin Might Just Do You In | Feedback Friday, The Power of Listening, What I Learned In My 20's: Self Love, Boundaries, Comparison & Trusting My Intuition, 627. Meeting the Anger Within + Taking Off Your Mask with Hannah Eden, and 881: Finding Your Angle in Covert Love Triangle | Feedback Friday. Many relationships that were very good at one point faded when I moved on, started new things, or grew professionally. I feel responsible for this, and I have a question about the episode 1055: Is Nephew Forever Lost for Denying Holocaust? | Feedback Friday.
How can I ensure that my relationships don't fade as I grow or start new things?
I have a question about this episode #068: Mark’s First "Girlfriend" Tells Her Story with Michelle Dow and this Developing Emotional Intelligence. I am almost 60 years old and have started looking back at my younger years, especially ages 12 to 32. I believe my frontal lobes came online late, and I developed many strong attachments to girls during that time. I think I fell in love maybe 12 or 13 times. (Ask me about singing to a girl over the phone or castrating pigs with a girl's father just to be seen.) No one ever spoke to me about my brain, and I realize my brain made me a real asshole. I was hurt, and other people were hurt. I take responsibility for my own actions, but is it also OK for me to harbor a little resentment about my education? Would I have listened if someone had told me about it?
