Episode 270 — The Attention Trap | You’re Probably Right
Description
In a world where likes, swipes, and text replies are traded like currency, MCM breaks down how romantic attention became love’s new economy.
This special long-form episode explores how attention — the rarest commodity of the digital age — can make or break modern relationships.
From ghosting and breadcrumbing to anxious attachment and quiet self-sacrifice, MCM exposes how couples confuse attention with affection, validation with love, and scarcity with power.
He explains why being “seen” feels like being loved, why silence hurts like punishment, and how to reclaim your emotional balance when the person you care about controls the flow of their focus.
If you’ve ever waited for a reply that never came or felt addicted to someone’s next text — this one’s for you.
