Friendships and Emotional Sobriety: Insights from Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero
“We keep looking for somebody else to fill that, and when we don't get that, a lot of times the friend fills that right. Yes, especially the friend who can relate to that desire, because they have the same, yeah, yeah. So we're all going out there attention seeking, and when we don't get the appropriate attention- which it would never be enough, by the way- we don't get the appropriate attention from the romantic interest, then we're going to start leaning on our friends to fill that hole right, and it's an unfillable hole. It's a gap in your game, in your life, that can only be filled by you, yeah.”
