When Two Friends Become Three

About this episode

The episode discusses the dynamics of forming friend groups, particularly the transition from two friends to three.

Why do some have friend groups, and how do they start? Likely two friends find a third and invite them in. Groups of three friends are the stuff of story and legend, from The Three Musketeers to Three’s Company. There’s something powerful and stable about the number three, and it can be the foundation and beginning of a group. For those who are lonely and pining for a group of friends, here’s some practical advice on how to make the jump from a pair of two to a group of three.
