How do you communicate love and appreciation to your friends?
We asked NPR's audience to share the ways they show affection in their platonic relationships. It's a follow-up to a Life Kit episode and story we published last month about the science of making and keeping friends with psychologist and friendship expert Marisa Franco. She says simple acts of love show your friends that you genuinely care for them — and let them know it's safe to invest in your friendship.
