You're on The Virtue.

So Abby, female friendship, conflict.

You kind of had an aha moment?

Yeah, I feel like this is something everybody in my age kind of goes through

where you're moving through so many different relationships in your life,

whether it's romantic or friendships or just like at work relationships in general.

And you have to figure out how to have conflict that's productive.

And for me, that's something I've been learning over the last couple of years of my life.

And I make it a point not to talk about my interpersonal drama because on here, if it gets

out into the world, it's just too much. But one question I've never answered from my DMs is a lot

of people seem to come to me for

questions about female friendship, which they shouldn't. And there's just one question I've never

answered is, and it's how to handle conflict well or how to come to resolutions and female

friendships. And the reason I've never answered that is because I think it's something that I have

been trying to figure out for the last couple of years. And recently reason I've never answered that is because I think it's something that I have been trying to figure out for the last couple of years.

And recently, I started noticing this pattern in my life in pretty much all of my relationships, not just female friendships, but also romantic relationships.

And just kind of just my relationships in general, I've noticed, I'm like, anytime someone gets

close to me, they just kind of ghost me out of nowhere. I wonder what that's about. So I just

had to go to therapy for that and talk about some of my previous romantic relationships, my

previous female friendships, and kind of get an objective standpoint on things that have happened and where

things have gone wrong in moments of conflict. And this week I had something happened in a

completely different sector of my life, not a female friendship, not a romantic situation.
