How to Be Known Without Explaining Yourself
Update: 2025-10-28
Description
You faked your friendships? So what.
You learned how to survive by reading the room, by translating yourself, and pretending to fit in.
But now you're tired of pretending. You’d rather be alone than explain your every thought or force another fake laugh.
If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
We’ll explore why connection can feel like work and how to stop doing all the heavy lifting just to feel alone anyway.
