The Chalene Show
EP. 275
This episode of The Chalene Show is all about what YOU can do about your one-sided friendships.
After releasing episode #266, How to Create Amazing friendships, I received many requests on this topic. If you think that episode may brush on something of importance to you, definitely go back and check it out.
Many of you who listened in to episode #266 questioned me… “What do you do if your relationship has become one-sided or unbalanced?”
There’s no relationship that makes us feel 50/50 or equal. I don’t think it is helpful for me to diagnose a one-sided relationship in your life, BUT I’d love to share with you some of the behaviors that make us (as human beings) feel that we our carrying more of the load.
Remember, relationships have AT LEAST 2 sides (especially in romantic relationships). With that being said, I want you to keep something in mind… before you listen, make sure you have an open heart and an open mind. It is easy to force our attention on to all that WE do without truly viewing or considering the perspectives of the other members in our relationships. Consider what your roles are, we each have our own! A lot of times, our roles are drastically different than others (because it is what we are good at)!
