Key principles for resilient friendships: - Acknowledge impact honestly - Design new systems quickly - Maintain continuity threads - Build proactively, not reactively - Use vulnerability as bonding agent
Common patterns in successful adaptation: - Virtual infrastructure enables geographic freedom - Transition communities provide understanding - Old friends offer continuity; new friends give context - Lowered standards enable connection during chaos - Shared struggle creates deeper bonds
