WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE YOUR BUBBLE

METHOD: RENEGOTIATION

‘If we don’t engage regularly, we lose insight into someone’s world. So, when you do meet up again, you’ll be unsure what’s changed in a friend’s life,’ says Dunbar. Which could lead to slightly rusty chat. All 100% normal as you slowly renegotiate bringing your interests and social arrangements back into alignment once more. Cut yourself some slack and allow the relationship time to readjust – just make sure to book another diary date in ASAP to help it along.
