Welcome to the Friendship Thread! We have some great spaces at the Avocado to talk about relationships, sexuality, and other aspects of our personal lives, so here’s one centered around another important part of the human experience: friendships.

The goal of these posts is to talk about the role our friendships play in our lives, the challenges of negotiating friendships brought on by adulthood, technology, and the like, and anything else that comes to mind. Feel free to vent or ask for advice on issues you’re having with friends – just keep it respectful and be sure to follow site rules.

Optional discussion topic: How do you deal with friends moving away for work, relationships, family, or any other reason?  Have you ever had to move away from a group of friends?  How did your relationship change after the move?
