What if “let’s be friends” isn’t kindness but a coping mechanism?
In this episode, I'm breaking down what it could mean to be offered friendship after rejection and why you don’t have to accept it. From emotional bread crumbing to self-abandonment disguised as "maturity", this episode challenges the myth that staying connected is always the “right” thing to do or an act of being the "bigger person".
Let's explore the difference between being friendly and being friends, the real reason people offer “we can still be friends,” and how we often stay in situationships out of fear, fantasy, or false hope. If you’ve ever felt stuck as someone’s “maybe,” or settled for friendship hoping they’d change their mind, this one is for you.
If this episode hits home, share it with a friend and remember: you get to protect your peace.
