On this last day of 2023, The Language of Friendship team would like to thank you for exploring friendship with us. Whether you’ve liked or commented on our posts, or even just quietly enjoyed them, we appreciate your companionship and look forward to continuing our journey with you.

As we look ahead to 2024, we looked back on some of our most widely shared posts from 2023. We are noting a few of them below. We plan on delving in further to these topics and more in 2024.

Survey Results: Friendship on the Job: When we started writing about friendship, we recognized there are many types of connections that lead to friendship, including ones formed at work.  We were so intrigued by the value of work friendships that we surveyed friends and readers to learn more.
