#122: 5 Things People Do That Hurt Their Relationships and Friendships
b'Friendships make every area of our lives better. They contribute to a deep sense of belonging in the world, in knowing our place, in having people that count on us and that we can count on. And also, they\\u2019re just plain fun!\\nBut, if you look at your list of friends on Facebook or group of people you interact with regularly, you\\u2019ll notice that the majority are luke-warm friends; those that you know pretty well, but aren\\u2019t deeply connected with. Today\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast Big Idea Tuesday episode is all about taking those mediocre friendships and making them great. Turning them from someone you interact with to someone you connect with, build a kindred spirit with, and take this journey of life with.\\nBeing a great friend isn\\u2019t about being perfect or living up to some crazy ideal of a person who is totally selfless and puts everyone else before them. That\\u2019s being a people pleaser.\\nBeing a great friend means you\\u2019re willing to put in the work and grow together.\\nSometimes putting in the work means having an honest look at things you might be doing that are hurting your friendships.\\nYou probably aren\\u2019t doing these things on purpose, but that doesn\\u2019t mean they don\\u2019t have implications. In today\\u2019s episode, Dhru covers 5 things people do regularly that they may not be aware of that are hurting their friendships.\\nBy talking about these 5 areas, Dhru challenges you to take a personal look at your own behavior within your friendships to become aware of patterns you might not have seen before. This is the first step to building deep, meaningful, and lasting relationships.\\xa0\\nDhru discusses the 5 things people do that hurt their relationships:\\nNumber 1: Poor and unclear communication\\nNumber 2: Complaining instead of opening up\\nNumber 3: Sarcasm\\nNumber 4: Withholding or not expressing constructive feedback\\nNumber 5: Withholding or not expressing gratitude\\nSelf-reflection doesn\\u2019t come easy, but it\\u2019s always necessary in order to build connection.
