Friendships Don't Just Happen!
Friendships Don't Just Happen!: The Guide to Creating a Meaningful Circle of Girlfriends | Shasta Nelson
35 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
This essential go-to guide reveals how women can enhance their lives by creating valuable friendships in todays busy, mobile world, from nationally recognized friendship expert and CEO of GirlFriendCircles.com. Every woman is searching for a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life. Many realize the significant role that an intimate, tightly knit circle of friends plays in creating a more fulfilling life, but with hectic schedules, frequent moves, and life changes, its more important than ever for women to establish natural, meaningful friendships that will contribute to their overall wellbeing. In Friendships Dont Just Happen!, Shasta Nelson, friendship expert and CEO of GirlFriendCircles.com, reveals the most important proven steps, processes, and secrets vital to establishing the five different levels of friendships, or Circles of Connectedness, that womenno matter their age or relationship statusare longing for in todays stressful and mobile culture. This revolutionary, engaging guide will also benefit women who already feel rooted to fabulous friends, with insightful principles that will help them maintain and enhance their current friendships. Full of practical how-to tips, fun activities, guiding questions, and step-by-step instructions, Friendships Dont Just Happen! highlights several areas of developing lasting friendships, teaching women how to: Evaluate their current circle of friends Recognize what types of friends they are seeking based on career, interests, location, and relationship status Create a prioritized friendship action plan Find extraordinary friendswhere to look and how to approach them Take initiative to jumpstart friendships and face fears of rejection Establish frientimacy, trust, and happiness through conversation and activities Maintain meaningful friendships and determine which ones are worthwhile Excerpt from Friendships Don't Just Happen: There is a lie out there that real friendship just happens. When I was new to San Francisco eight years ago, I remember standing at a caf window on Polk Street watching a group of women inside, huddled around a table laughing. Like the puppy dog at the pound, I looked through the glass, wishing someone would pick me to be theirs. I had a phone full of far-flung friends phone numbers, but I didnt yet know anyone I could just sit and laugh with in a caf. It hit me how very hard the friendship process is. Im an outgoing, socially comfortable woman with a long line of good friendships behind me. And yet I stood there feeling very lonely. And insecure. And exhausted at just the idea of how far I was from that reality. I knew I couldnt just walk in there and introduce myself to them. Hi! You look like fun women, can I join you? I would have been met with stares of pity. No one wants to seem desperate, even if we are. We dont have platonic pick-up lines memorized. Flirting for friends seems creepy. Asking for her phone number like were going to call her up for a Saturday night date is just plain weird. All the batting of my eyelashes wasnt going to send the right signals. And so I turned away from the scene of laughter and walked away. No, unfortunately, friendships dont just happen. We Value Belonging Friendships may not happen automatically, but what we crave about them sure seems to! We all want to belongthat need to be connected to others is an inherent desire. We live our entire lives trying to fit in, be known, attract acceptance, and experience intimacy. We desperately want to have others care about us. This book is about that hunger. And more pointedly, it is about listening to it and learning how to fulfill it.

I cannot thank my friends enough for today. We spent 6 hours holed up in a room organizing and labeling my classroom library. I am so excited to bring these books to my students and so thankful my friends helped me with this tedious task!

I had the best time yesterday meeting @AmyG while she was in Vermont. Her daughter lives an hour away from me. We planned to meet just for coffee and instead spent almost five hours together! We went book shopping (of course), met up with her daughter, had dinner together and discovered that a friend of mine is her husband‘s cousin. Go figure. Litsy is just a wonderful place to meet truly wonderful people.

saresmoore I LOVE IT! That is just wonderful. ♥️♥️♥️ 6y

@squirrelbrain congrats on your milestone! I‘m going to extend the friendship chain and tag some friends; maybe you have them as friends, and maybe you don‘t 💓💓💓 I don‘t know where I‘d be without this online community. It makes me feel connected when I feel lost, it makes me feel included when I isolated. I didn‘t know what I was missing until I found Litsy, but Facebook has become almost obsolete for me #newlitsyfriends #booknerds

Since I joined Litsy last year I‘ve been amazed by the wonderful community that it is! I‘ve just reached 500 followers so I‘m doing a #litsygiveaway to celebrate!

Introduce me to someone new on Litsy so that I can grow this amazing group of friends even more! Maybe they read the same kind of books as me, maybe they could introduce me to something new, or maybe they‘re just an amazing person!

Cont. in comments....

squirrelbrain Start a new post, tag me in and use #newlitsyfriends. 6y
squirrelbrain I‘ll put everyone‘s name into a hat as a pair with your friend and you‘ll both win a book off your TBR. You can enter as many times as you want, with a different Litsy friend each time. Open internationally and closing date is Friday 2nd March - ENJOY! ❤️😻❤️😻 6y

Instead of #LitsyHumor tonight, I just wanted to say on behalf of @BookBabe & me that you're all special to us & we're thankful you're in our lives ☺️. Before Bookbabe even, I felt like a dying breed of bibliophile, & between her & you all, you've helped to renew my vigor. A deeply heart-felt thank you! Our #LItsyGoesPostalOG group has become like extended family, & I hope the other #LGP editions feel the same way about each other too. 😊👍🏻

NovelGirl82 Agreed! I feel like I've found my tribe! 7y
TheWordJar You, @BookBabe, and @Litsy in general are the bees knees! So glad to have found this magical bibliophilic world! 7y
Bklover I agree. Feel like I found my place in the world. 7y

Lizpixie Litsy & littens have given me back my joy of not just books, but of life. Being able to share my love of books with people all over the world is the best thing to happen in my life for a long time. Our #litmail group is amazing, we all talk to each other on GroupMe as much as I'm on Litsy, they're all brilliant people. #litsyismyspiritanimal💚 7y
Birdsong28 Thank you. Your right about having a renewed love of all things books thanks to Litsy as it has helped me to express myself in ways that I haven't been able to before. Have found people like yourself and books I wouldn't have read. Hope Litsy carries on! 📖📚 7y
WanderingBookaneer Agreed! When I picture utopia, Litsy is what comes to mind. 7y

#seasonsreadings2016 #day27 #favelittens How could I possibly choose just a few of you for this? Everyone on here is amazing, I had never known a social media platform without any nastiness, trolls, infighting and just plain bad behaviour until I found Litsy & all you wonderful people. It truly does prove this saying, that Book People really are the Best People. I love, respect & admire each and every one of you.😘😘😘😘😘
