Welcome to Season 4! We're starting off this season discussing conflict resolution and avoidance in friendships. When an issue arises  sometimes it can cause a separation between friends. People can be uncomfortable with resolving a disagreement for many reasons we discuss in today's episode. This may influence someone to avoid conflicts by trying to make peace quickly so that it never happens again. Disagreements are healthy in relationships, but most importantly how you handle them. It also may be worth considering how you communicate during the disagreement or conflict. What is your communication style and how does it impact your friendships? Of course, you know we had to include definitions and links to what we discussed. We got you, guys! As always, thank you for listening!

On this week's episode of the Common Nomad podcast, Edward & Scylla discuss friends who aren't quite reliable. We might even refer to them as flaky.

Are these friendships worth it in the end? To stay updated, visit our website: www.thecommonnomad.co As always, thanks for listening!

This episode, we talk about being a highly sensitive person and the difference of emotional capabilities between friends. A highly sensitive person (HSP) is a term coined by psychologist Dr. Elaine Aron. What does it mean when the tolerance to handle emotions can cause potential issues/conflicts in friendships?

Hey Listeners! Disclaimer: The use of pandemic and epidemic are not interchangeable. Dr. Vivek Murphy described this as the loneliness epidemic. A note of error on Scylla's behalf as this could be easily conflated by our listeners. On this episode of The Common Nomad Podcast, Edward & Scylla discuss the loneliness epidemic that was introduced by Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murphy. On June 29, 2023, Dr. Vivek Murphy spoke about the plaguing mental health crisis: loneliness. It is unfortunate to hear that this has been an issue before the COVID-19 pandemic. If Americans are as lonely as Dr. Murphy claims, what does that say about the state of friendships? As always, thank you for listening.
