How do we go about distancing from a friend or ending a friendship? How do we process it when we feel a friend withdrawing? How do we negotiate conflict or transitions that are going to come up in many friendships? 💠"Quiet quitting" is the latest term for withdrawing from a friendship, phasing out, or disengaging completely. In this episode with the insightful Dr. Miriam Kirmayer, a clinical psychologist in Montreal who specializes in friendship, we discuss why someone might choose the strategy of "quiet quitting" for fading away from a friend. 💠Meet Dr. ‪@drmiriamkirmayer‬ : Dr. Miriam Kirmayer is a clinical psychologist, leading friendship expert, and one of the most influential speakers on human connection and social support. 💠We discussed: -Most people have been on both sides of the "quiet quitting" equation -How quiet quitting differs from ghosting -When quiet quitting is a good strategy and when it is not -Why we are both strongly against using "quiet quitting" to test a friend -Friends cannot read our minds! -The struggle many people have to initiate plans, but respecting friends' strengths (and not expecting friends to do things exactly the way we do them) -Quiet quitting has its place, but it can also be a sign of an inability to have a vulnerable or direct conversation because of a lack of practice or opportunity to do so. -Downgrades in friendships vs. dissolutions -How to avoid burning a bridge with friends (or old friends) -"Quiet quitting works until it doesn't." You might have to be more direct at some point. We discussed some kind ways to do so. 💠LET’S CONNECT OVER ALL THINGS FRIENDSHIP! 💠Listen to Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship anywhere you get your podcasts, including here on YouTube.
