41! Unwritten Rules of Friendship

In this episode, we dig into the unspoken social contract that keeps friendships running—everything from the obvious “friend commandments” to the strangely specific rules that only make sense within a particular friend group. We explore etiquette vs. loyalty, when teasing becomes too much, how adulthood and social media have reshaped old expectations, and which rules still matter today. We even draft the official rules of our friendship, complete with vetoes, amendments, and a healthy amount of self-awareness.
