Create friendships in which you feel safe

This year, Lauren Fox ended or adjusted the friendships that no longer served her. After having anxiety attacks and becoming incredibly angry when spending time with certain friends, she realized that she’d succumbed to the negativity they put out. That’s why she decided to create better boundaries for her emotional and overall health. Be honest about what you need from friends and the roles they play in your life — for the good and the bad. When you become clear about what you need, there’s no longer a need to feel guilty about not resuscitating dead friendships.
