I have the best, most loyal friends from different parts of my life but I\\u2019ll be honest, the idea of making NEW friends makes my pits sweat. I\\u2019m in my late forties, but even thinking about making new friends and all of a sudden I\\u2019m thrust back into my middle school when a group of girls made fun of me for walking into their circle and introducing myself.

On the podcast this week, Penn and I spoke to Dr. Marisa G. Franco, a friendship expert who wrote the book \\u201cPlatonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make\\u2014and Keep\\u2014Friends.\\u201d She explained why friendship is essential at every stage of life, and friends can help you discover a totally new side of yourself. We dive deep into the science of friendship, trends between men and women, and how you can apply these same concepts to having healthy relationships with family. Dr. Franco shares one thing you can do right now to make friends\\u2014and it\\u2019s probably not what you think.
