I mostly agree with swarriner, and I want to add that writing out more explicit strategies for making and maintaining friends is a public good.
The “case clinic” idea seems good. This sometimes naturally emerges among my friends, and trying to do it more would probably be net positive in my social circles.
And yeah, case clinics have given me a lot of value. If something like it is emerging naturally amoung your friends, then they sound like great friends!
If you do try to expressly instantiate a case clinic with the steps I’d be curious to hear how it goes. I’ve been surprised at the effect setting an explicit format can have on how it feels to be in a group. Something about creating common knowledge on where we’re all supposed to be directing our attention (and with what intention), can be really powerful. Thinking about it now I suppose this is how DnD works 😄

Thank you, I thought so too 😊
