We've all been there: going through a tough time and looking around for support, only to be met with silence from the people we thought would be there for us. That silence can be more painful than any criticism.
In this video, we explore the powerful meaning behind Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous quote: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." We'll talk about why that silence hurts so much, the psychology behind it, and how we can all learn to be better friends and ask for the support we need.
