Pontificating on Friendship
“Kindred Spirits” are intimate friends, people with whom you are comfortable being your true self. HSPs are often on the hunt for kindred spirits, especially at parties, gatherings, or networking events. Having a deep, intense, shared connection with someone else is essential to meeting the emotional needs of sensitive people.
In this episode 23, I also talk about Anne of Green Gables, Susan Cain, and why it’s ok to let go of friends you don’t truly connect with.
Resources mentioned in this episode: The Susan Cain & Marie Forleo interview. (The “kindred spirit” part is around 13:00)
