Tomorrow is National Best Friends Day so we thought we’d bring in some of our friends of “Live in the D” to talk about friendship. Joining Host Tati Amare to talk about it is a personal friend of Jason Carr’s and his vet for his two pooches, Dr. Corey Gut. Funnyman comedian Mike Bonner and Vanessa Cohen, mother of 5 and the Founder of The Cohen Brand round out the group. First up, how important are best friends? Very, according to Bonner. He says he has been friends with the same guys since he was in second grade and that they are more like brothers than friends. Cohen says she has a “personal board of directors” which includes all her close friends who know her very well and help hold her accountable. For Dr. Gut, her friends are her safe space. “They tell it like it is but also support you,” she says. Can you have more than one best friend? According to Dr. Gut, the answer is “yes. " She believes it is important to have close friends in all spheres of your life. Bonner strongly agreed with Dr. Gut. So, do you keep in touch with your childhood besties? As stated earlier, Bonner has been friends with the same group of friends most of his life. For Cohen, she has some friends she speaks to every day, others she speaks to every week, and others she speaks to every month. One thing she has learned is that to be close you don’t need to chat every day. It’s more about reaching out when you want or need to and being able to pick up right where you left off. Dr. Gut has friends from all stages of her life and likes to keep in touch with all of them. Finally, are you closer to your best friends than some of your family members? In Tati’s opinion, the answer is yes, sometimes you are. Bonner says what he shares with his family is different than what he shares with his friends. They are all different relationships, but he loves all of them. Cohen agreed, but also pointed out that her husband is her best friend, and he is family too. “We have our biological family, and then our logical family,” says Dr. Gut, “Friends are the family you choose... it all works together.” So what do you think? Join us every Monday for “What’s the Buzz” where our “Live in the D” friends tackle a new topic every week.

How do I know if someone is toxic for me?

Here are some warning signs to watch out for if you think you're dealing with a toxic person: You feel like you're being manipulated into something you don't want to do. You're constantly confused by the person's behavior. You feel like you deserve an apology that never comes.

What Is a Toxic Person?

If you know someone who’s difficult and causes a lot of conflict in your life, you may be dealing with a toxic person. These people can create lots of stress and unpleasantness for you and others, not to mention emotional or even physical pain. A toxic person is anyone whose behavior adds negativity and upset to your life. Many times, people who are toxic are dealing with their own stresses and traumas. To do this, they act in ways that don’t present them in the best light and usually upset others along the way. Toxicity in people isn’t considered a mental disorder. But there could be underlying mental problems that cause someone to act in toxic ways, including a personality disorder. Here are some warning signs to watch out for if you think you’re dealing with a toxic person: You feel like you’re being manipulated into something you don’t want to do.
