Things to look for in healthy friendships (short thread)

When I wrote about what healthy relationships, I mentioned that friendship is the CORE component. Too many of us waste our time on unhealthy friendships because many of us grow up not knowing what "healthy" is..(1/8) Until I formed healthy adult friendships, I didn't realize what one looks like. What my close friends have in common, are kindness, intelligence + trustworthiness. Finding a good friend feels a lot like finding love for many reasons, because they're practically the same (2/8)

Things to look for in a potential relationship (short thread)

Our conversations went well until I learned that he shames addicts (1/8) He described them as "lazy and useless". I was taken aback, because our medical career exposes us to many people who are addicts - to alcohol, drugs, behaviors, lifestyles and here was someone who wouldn't empathize! (2/8)
