Show notes

Sometimes you may feel closer to people than you actually are. It can be disappointing, confusing, and even disheartening. But how do you know the difference?Our interpersonal relationships exist because of the things we consider important: Enjoyment, proximity, love, and desire.

Bird Brain s9 EP 25 (360) : The Friendship Test Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

If I asked you, “Would you be your own friend?” most people would immediately answer “hell yeah!” I’m a great friend! And then proceed to list all the ways they’re dope. Some people would honestly answer “no,” and then the question becomes: “So what do you expect from others that you’d be unequipped to provide in return?”Society is a melting pot of everyone seeking the same thing: Connection. But society is also ran on this idea of how connection is supposed to work.

Season 9 Ep 22 (357): Security Blanket Relationships and the blanket Statements in them. Jul 24, 2026

Show notes

Everyone asks: Does this friendship make me feel secure? Far fewer people ask: Have I behaved in ways that make my friend feel secure with me? Have I returned? Have I initiated? Have I kept my word? Have I listened? Have I repaired? Have I remained curious about their life when I didn’t need anything? The security we seek from connections may not always be the places others have felt the most secure in due to actions.
