It’s time to route out unproductive communication styles with your partners or besties. If you’ve been wanting to bring up how your friend always leaves you on read, express how you feel. Or if you’re the one who’s been dodging one-on-ones with your loves, speak up. Summon compassion and a dose of strategy for grounded support. Making bite-sized requests of your nearest and dearest will increase the chance they’ll go down easily.
