WORLD:

The crisis has been going on for a year - how long can a friendship last a break?

Heidbrink:

You have to differentiate a little how close the friendships are.

Women are more likely to have face-to-face friendships, where they talk about all kinds of things.

In the case of men, one often speaks of side-to-side friendships.

They do something together, for example they play squash.

That doesn't mean they don't talk to each other.

A pandemic with its restrictions can affect a friendship more strongly than the friends who usually met to talk in restaurants and now exchange ideas over the phone.

WORLD:

Are we all coming out of the crisis a little poorer socially?
