Welcome back to the final episode of our friendship miniseries! In this episode we\\u2019re joined by female friendship expert and author of Frientimacy, Shasta Nelson to talk all about making and maintaining friends.

If you\\u2019d rather watch the podcast you can find the whole video episode on our Patreon: https://patreon.com/sextraspodcast?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

We start the episode by asking Shasta why people have difficulty making friends and hear some different ways of making friends. Shasta explains that most people don\\u2019t know how to make friends in a meaningful way, or realise that making friends requires a lot of effort, so we talk about what not to do when making friends.

We discuss where to make friends as an adult (ie. outside of education, which many people struggle with) and Shasta names the three pillars of any good adult friendship and what we can do if we have a problem with our friends in one of those areas.

It obviously wouldn\\u2019t be an episode of Sextras without these, so we had to ask Shasta about how love languages and attachment styles affect our friendships and how that influences whether we feel valued as a friend and how we show affection towards our friends.

Thank you so much to Shasta for joining us for our final episode of the friendship miniseries, it was certainly very informative for us but we hope it was for all our listeners too!
