Vulnerability is the deepest form of authenticity, and it involves sharing the true parts of ourselves that we fear may result in our rejection or alienation, the parts we feel most shame over.

Introduction
Making new friends as an adult can feel impossible — we're all so caught up in our busy lives that we don't prioritize making new connections.
In her 2022 book, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends, Marisa G. Franco explains why making friends is harder than it used to be and how to overcome the hurdles.
Franco is a psychologist, bestselling author, TED speaker, and professor at the University of Maryland.
In Platonic, Franco stresses the importance of friendship and its impact on your mental and physical wellbeing, arguing that platonic love should not come second place to romantic love.
