The Art of Platonic

Not counting our dearest and oldest friends, and our newbie dearest friends, my husband and I have a much wider circle of new relationships in our life these days. 

Important and necessary professional acquaintances; new and blossoming professional relationships with potential to become friendship relationships; Zoom groupers and leaders of Zoom groups (in all the above categories) and Zoom groupers and leaders with no realistic potential for friendship but now think they know me (a sidecar of the professional relationship, I guess); and finally real-time and online-time former friends and classmates from glory days.  

Which reminds me of how lucky I was to have glory days. 

This book is all about attachment style and how to maintain platonic relationships, and I cannot recommend it enough.
