Been grieving the loss/ghosting of my best friend for 5 months. My heart aches and I keep creating stories in my mind as to what could have happened. This episode helped me feel less alone in this experience. #friendlyghosting

I didn't know if this new staff could live up to the Invisibilia episodes that have stayed with me all these years. I still talk about the veterinarian who found out she had autism and had magnetic therapy that allowed her to experience life as if she didn't; the man who was afraid he would harm his pregnant wife but it was anxiety; and the teen athlete with chronic pain after her injury had healed. This episode proves that Invisibilia is in great hands. This is another episode I will not get out of my brain. This episode adds to the menu of options I will consider when trying to understand how and why humans respond the way we do. Thank you from a fellow overthinker and a huge fan!
