Water The Garden

Why Most Friendships Fail Without This Simple Trick!

💥 Let Them Go & Water Your Own Garden 💥 If they’re an emotional landmine, let someone else trip over them. You? You’ve got better things to do—like actually investing in friendships that give back. This week on Sober Psychology, we’re breaking down the psychology of real friendships. No fluff. No fakery. Just science-backed facts and gut-level honesty. 🎯 Dunbar’s Number reminds us: your brain can only handle so many real connections. And get this — it takes 200 hours to build a close friendship. That’s right. Your group chat doesn’t count. You’ve got to show up — consistently. 💬 Send the meme. 📞 Make the call. 🚚 Help with the move. 👏 Just be there. Because friendship isn’t microwave popcorn. It’s a slow roast. You gotta water the garden and stop expecting fruit from fake friends you never checked on. And yeah, we treat people like Google tabs — if they don’t load in 2 seconds, we’re out. But humans aren’t search engines. Real connection takes time, intention, and patience. So here’s your reminder: 🔥 Do the work. Water the roots. Reap the trust. 🔥
