Am I the Problem? How Knowing Yourself Transforms Your Friendships

One of the most powerful chapters in Recipe for Friendship is about a surprising truth: sometimes, the friendship struggles we face aren’t about others — they’re about us.

I learned this the hard way. Before I could form strong, lasting friendships, I had to meet… myself. I had to ask, “Who am I, really? What do I value? What do I need — and what do I give?”

Knowing yourself is not a cliché; it’s the foundation of every healthy friendship. Because if you don’t know your own boundaries, your own worth, your own purpose — how will anyone else treat you with the love and respect you deserve?

In my book, I guide you through powerful reflection exercises and real-life stories that help you uncover your strengths, confront your insecurities, and learn to love yourself first — so you can attract the right kind of friends into your life.

📖 Don’t just fix your friendships. Find your authentic self. Let the real you lead the way.
