The average person will have about 100 close friends in a lifetime, but only a handful of truly deep ones. Depth doesn’t happen by accident; it happens by design. You don’t need a psychology degree. You just need a few good questions and the discipline to shut up and listen.
So next time you grab a drink with a friend, skip the “How’s work?” text. Lean in. Ask about the best ten seconds of their month. Ask about their cringe phase. Ask about the sound that makes them feel at home. That’s where the real connection lives. And honestly, isn’t that the entire point of having a friend in the first place?
