The Hidden Strength of True Friendships: Dr. Fasano's Take

So it's this concept of a friend and someone that's friendly that I sort of use as my Daily example.
Why do we sometimes feel like we're drowning in a sea of acquaintances but still feel lonely? Dr. Christopher Fasano tackles this very question in this episode of 'The Better Mental Health Show'. He dives into the essence of what makes a friendship truly valuable, especially for kids and young adults. In a world where social media often dictates our sense of connection, Dr.
Fasano makes a compelling case for the age-old wisdom that 'less is more' when it comes to friends. He explores how having just a few genuine friends can significantly boost our mental health and resilience. Rather than focusing on the number of friends, he encourages parents to teach their kids about the importance of quality over quantity. With practical tips and heartfelt advice, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to foster deeper, more meaningful relationships.
If you're curious about how to help your children build stronger connections or even reevaluate your own friendships, this episode is a must-listen.
