What could you say to argue against that idea? - What do you expect from a close friend? What do you expect from someone who is not your friend? How and why are these expectations different? - Why would it be unkind to have a party and invite everyone in a group except one person? What could you do instead? - What is an empathy blindspot? - How might being mean to someone end up hurting you? *** You might also like these podcast episodes: Ep. 154 - Friends say she’s bossy, but they’re bossy (Lola, Age 8) https://drfriendtastic.substack.com/p/friends-say-shes-bossy-but-theyre Ep. 141 - Can we be friends with anyone?
