We count on close friends to understand us. So, why do we often hesitate to tell them what we need?
Danielle Bayard Jackson, friendship expert and author of Fighting for Our Friendships, explains how expectations about reciprocity, support and trust can bring women together—and cause trouble when broken expectations go unspoken.
