Discussion question for December 16, 2022.

While it is important to belong to a group and to know how to fit in, the same is true for personal relationships.  How have you developed relationships in the past?  Do you tend to be an initiator or responder, and why?  What is necessary in a relationship for you to feel safe? How have your relationships built your self-confidence?  What do you find comforting or soothing from others?  How do you make a relationship grow?  How do you define closeness, and what expectations do you place on yourself and others in relationship?  How do you distinguish between friends versus close friends?  What would you like to do more of to be a better friend to others?
