How do we make and keep friends in an era of distraction\, burnout\, and chaos\, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In \;P latonic\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest\, often counterintu itive findings about the bonds between us&mdash\;for example\, why your fr iends aren&rsquo\;t texting you back (it&rsquo\;s not because they hate yo u!)\, and the myth of &ldquo\;friendships happening organically&rdquo\; (m aking friends\, like cultivating any relationship\, requires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains\, to make and keep friends you must understand your at tachment style&mdash\;secure\, anxious\, or avoidant: it is the key to unl ocking what&rsquo\;s working (and what&rsquo\;s failing) in your friendshi ps.
