Ep 37: Navigating Friendships as an Anxious Attachment Style

Friendships can feel just as triggering as romantic relationships when you have an anxious attachment style—especially when dealing with avoidant friends who seem distant, inconsistent, or hard to read. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the one putting in all the effort, overthinking their responses, or questioning your place in a friendship, this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I’m getting personal. I’ll be sharing my own experiences navigating friendships as someone with an anxious attachment style and the powerful mindset shifts and strategies that have helped me build healthier, more secure relationships. ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✔️ How to stop overanalyzing your friendships and build real confidence.✔️ The truth about avoidant friends—and how to stop taking their behaviour personally.✔️ Communication & boundary-setting tips to create more balanced, fulfilling friendships.✔️ How to rewire your attachment style and shift from anxious to secure. Friendships should feel safe, supportive, and reciprocal, not like you’re constantly chasing connection. If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start feeling at ease in your relationships, let’s dive in. 🎧 Listen now and let me know: Have you ever struggled with an avoidant friend?
