Dear Lily, I’ve returned from holiday with friends and realised I don’t like them. What do I do? I don’t want to be a loner.
Holidays bring up a lot — just as an outing to Ikea can shatter the strongest relationship, a trip away can destroy a friendship in the time it takes to text: ‘When shall we meet at Luton?’ Aside from the ‘pinch points’ — delayed flights, getting lost when everyone’s hangry — and the day-to-day annoyances (why do some friends take hours to get ready!?), compatibility is key — a cocktails-at-9am flex will probably clash with an early morning yoga one.
