Yumi Stynes: 我采访了几个女性，她们都经历了友谊破裂的痛苦，这种痛苦甚至超过了失恋。我们缺乏应对友谊破裂的社会支持和文化脚本，这使得人们在失去挚友后不知所措。 Melanie: 我和Danica是八年的挚友，在她怀孕后，我们的联系越来越少。我以为她需要空间，但实际上她需要帮助。最终，我们的友谊破裂了，这让我非常难过，我仍然想念她，并希望有机会重归于好。 Keisha: 我和我的挚友从12岁开始相识，我们如同姐妹般亲密。但几年后，我们的价值观出现分歧，她的一些行为让我无法接受，最终我选择结束这段友谊。虽然已经过去七年了，但我仍然感到非常悲伤和后悔，我后悔没有及时沟通，没有给予她更多的理解和支持。 Dr. Hannah Correll: 女性友谊通常建立在亲密沟通和情感交流之上，而男性友谊则更注重共同活动。友谊破裂的原因主要包括人生阶段不同、无法解决冲突以及嫉妒。修复友谊的关键在于真诚的道歉、倾听和设定界限。友谊破裂带来的痛苦如同失恋般强烈，甚至伴随生理上的疼痛。

Shownotes Transcript

Our best friends are our ride-or-die, snort-laughing, crisis solving buttresses. But what happens when a friendship ends?

In a romantic break-up, there's a cultural handbook instructing us all to sanctioned crying, bitching and ice-cream eating. Playlists, movies and a canon of literature are ready to validate the catastrophic pain of heartbreak. But with romantic break-ups, there aren't the same support systems in place to help us put back together the pieces.

Yumi Stynes speaks to women who've been through the heartache of a friendship break-up to find out how they moved on, and what marks their former besties left behind.
