Impactful Ways to Deepen Relationships

Do you ever feel like real-life opportunities to connect with people are scarce these days? I’ve felt for quite some time that I’ve been in what I like to call a “social rut.” I interact with mainly the same people every day (family members and coworkers), and honestly, even though I have a few hundred friends added on social media that I currently follow, I’m not close with the majority of them. I find myself lacking meaningful connections with people outside of my inner circle.

Love Bombing?

Okay. I’m going to define this to the best of how I’ve heard about it or how it’s been presented to me.
