Hi everyone!
I have a friend who I met when we were both starting businesses a few years ago. We haven't talked much in the few years since then and reconnected recently. It was great catching up with her and we have so much in common but her business failed and my business failed and needless to say we've both been through some hard times since then. What's the best way to cultivate a friendship like this? I really appreciate her but I'm wondering if we're both too fragile right now for the friendship to work and maybe I should wait until at least one of us has a more stable situation? Or could we hold each other accountable for taking the action we want to take? Maybe I should note that we both have pretty negative family/childhood trauma. Thanks in advance and have a good day!
