1 in 3 Men Don't Have a Mate They Could Call in a Crisis
Manage episode 494370484 series 2950640
40% of men lose touch with close friends after major life changes.
Moving, having kids, starting a new job. We don’t fall out, we just stop showing up.
(UK Men’s Health Forum, 2022)
Why does it happen?
- Priorities change
- We stop making time
- We wait for them to make it happen
- We don’t want to make it awkward
- We assume our mates will just always be there — until they’re not
The truth is, friendships don’t survive on memories — they survive on effort.
This week’s challenge is...
Reconnect with a friend.
- Send a message
- Make a call
