Nichelle here, I want to start the discussion off...

I went live on tiktok yesterday & this very topic came up. Female friendships have been extremely difficult for me to navigate. Discerning between people who truly appreciate me for who I am vs those that secretly wished me harm... it’s really hard to tell these days. I’ve always wanted to be the girl with the childhood best friend that knows each other through & through, does everything together & share a deep bond, almost like sisters. I experienced something similar to this & it ended in such a nightmare of a situation that it has scarred my perception of friendships😩.

Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing your experience. You definitely have created a safe space for woman .💖 I started tearing up because I felt that so deeply! 😩

Female friendships just as you described is what I hope to cultivate within my community. I had my nightmare of exchanges and tried staying optimistic because I felt like there was someone out there who wants to have a genuine relationship like me. I’m constantly striving to stay open to people and showing up as myself, wearing my heart on my sleeve so that maybe on day I can create a bond with my sisters🫶🏽

Being vulnerable is not my strong suit but it honestly warm my heart that you can be touched by & relate to my story.

We’ve found each other for a reason & I’m excited to continue to nurture this relationship💗💗
