## Resource

In this essay, I discuss how our culture of narcissism has reduced friendships to selfish transactions. I then discuss "circling" as a practice for developing the deep mutuality that can facilitate healthy friendship and culture. Circling is an interpersonal practice meant to cultivate emotional awareness, interpersonal care, and healthy boundaries.
