Many of you have things to say about friend groups! I know because you write to me about it in my anonymous form and we’re talking about friend groups consistently in the Dear Nina Facebook group. This is a chance to tell me LOTS of your opinions about friend groups all in one EASY and ANONYMOUS survey. WHY?I’m collecting your thoughts for an upcoming Dear Nina episode about friend groups and live event titled: “From the Cafeteria to the Mahj Table: Friend Group Challenges from Teens to Midlife & Beyond.” Even if you can’t be at the event in Chicago at the end of July, you can participate anonymously in the episode via the survey and hear the results when it’s available to everyone on my regular podcast feed a few weeks later. Would you be willing to send me your ANONYMOUS opinions in the survey below? NOWHERE in this survey will you need to provide your name or email address. As it happens, the most recent episode of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship also has some moments that address friend groups—being in one and being left out of one. Licensed clinical social worker and EMDR therapist Beth Segaloff joined episode 152 to discuss how our social experiences in childhood can get in the way of our present friendships and our kids’ friendships, too. Does your kid feel left out? Or are you re-living the times you weren’t included? This is hard stuff! Other highlights of episode 152:
