Hi everyone. Welcome or welcome back to call your friends. We're your friends Maddie and

Lauren. And we're back for another episode. Today we're talking about friendship, friend breakups,

outgrowing friends, all the things. We do talk about friends a lot, I feel like, but this is kind of a different approach to

friendships.

We've talked about female friendships and friendships as you get older, but this is specifically

about getting more distant from certain people in your life and dealing with that because

I feel like it's something that everyone has to navigate as they grow up, especially. I know that I have had not really like dramatic friend breakups, but there definitely

have been moments where I've been more distant from people or felt like I had to separate

myself from people in my life. So I think that this is something that's relatable for everyone,

and I'm excited to talk about it.

And I feel like we talk about friends a lot, but they are such a big part of your life, especially when you're young. Yeah. Like they are some of the people that you spend most of your time with.

So, I mean, I guess it's natural to have problems in those friendships and just for us to have a lot

to say about them.

For sure.

So have you had a major friend breakup or any sort of friend breakup or even a situation where you felt like you had to distance yourself from someone for some reason?

I don't think I've ever had like a dramatic falling out with anyone.

There are definitely people that I've been super close with

at points of my life that I'm no longer close with. I think that because I went to so many

schools when I was younger, it was like every year I had a new best friend and there were

certain friends who I was close with throughout all of that. Like my friend Ashley, I'm still

best friends with and I've known her since

I was in grade one. And I have friends like Ruby and Nadia here in LA that I've known for years.
