When Desire Frederxon, 40, started watching the third season of “The White Lotus”, the show soon became for her. She said, “I was running immediately.”

The HBO series follows the guests and employees all over Among the wealthy guests, three women in the late 1940s have been friends since the primary school but now live a different life. Los Angeles -based Jacqueline (played by Michel Monagan); Lori is a divorced lawyer in New York City (Carey Con); And Kate, Texas housewife (Leslie Pep).

For each other, they are supportive and free. Behind each other, they are small, value and competitive. In varying groups, two of them are linked to talking about the third, which is a dynamic resonance with viewers throughout the country.

Ms. Friedrikson, who lives in Fontana, California said: “I was in this careful scenario several times throughout my life. Or I was the person in the middle they were talking about, and later discovered,” said California.

Last year, she had to move in the complications of friendship triangles. Ten months ago, when she had a child, a friend was angry at seeing the child on FaceTime first. She is also trying to modify her with a friend who feels neglected because Mrs. Friedrikson and her other friend are hanging more.

“Let’s just say that this offer is achieved,” she added, laughing.

“In our society, a lot about friendship is very broken. I think Instagrams for people, and they are all on the trips of these girls and everyone seems happy, and it is flawless,” said Lisa Morse, a clinical psychologist in Manhattan.

However, she added: “There is something about this trio in” The White Lotus “that offers something real about female friendships. There is tension between them and imbalances, and I think their interactions and dynamics are almost something that every woman can relate to.”

Of course, triple dynamic is the main ingredient in reality TV. On the Bravo show “Magic of the South”, the best friends (Or they areShayb Rose, Austin Kroll and Criging Conofer are talking frequently behind each other. At “The Real HouseWives of Orange County”, we see the close friendship of the emancipation, and Vikka Ganeson and Shannon Bedour – who call themselves “Tres Amigas” – disintegrate after gossip and talk harshly about each other of their ear.

Dr. Morsi said that there are benefits for the friendship triangle. “When there are three people, there is more of everything,” she said. “There is more fun, there is more energy, there is more support, there is more diversity, and there is a benefit from feeling part of a group.”

“If someone does not meet your needs, you will get it from another person,” she continued. “There is a variety of opinions, so it can be more interesting.”

But she added that three could be difficult. “There is more drama, there are more power attacks, there is competition,” she said. “There is an idea of ​​being the third wheel.”

One of the “White Lotus” scene, which had a truly echo with EMMELINE, was a 33 -year -old flower in New York City, asked her last name not to be used for privacy, when Lori excused herself to sleep in the first episode and then cries when her friends continued to go out without her.

She said: “I am a person who can run out of his social battery at a certain stage and then need to retreat to his room.” “But in the end, such a character, you feel excluded – almost irrationally. You have done angry fake crying several times.”

Some viewers use the display as a motor to make a healthier friendship. “I cut fat,” said Stewart Brazil, 43, an entertainment and creative correspondent for the content that lives in Los Angeles. She posted a video on Tijk about her feelings and was mired by commentators, saying that, too, they were trying to leave friends who left them badly. She said: “It helps us all to see these types of relationships on the screen, because it may benefit us to get hell out of these relationships.”

Emilin also witnessed the pain of the conversation behind her back. She still remembers a weekend trip with one friend, where she thought they had a “absolute explosion”, just to know that the friend felt otherwise. “On the trip from the trip, I was comfortable, and I see that the friend B sent a text message to” How was the weekend? “And a friend answered,” Well, I didn’t kill her. “It really hurts my feelings at that time.”

She said: “This was the beginning to the end of my friendship inside the trio anyway.” “The trio is difficult.”
