Speaker 1: Are you okay what happened?

4
00:00:13,961 --> 00:00:15,321
Speaker 2: Promise it won't be too much.

Speaker 3: Bring it in.

6
00:00:17,921 --> 00:00:19,720

Speaker 2: Girl, this is the place for you.

8
00:00:26,761 --> 00:00:30,401
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, Welcome back to your Tuesday morning, afternoon evening

9
00:00:30,481 --> 00:00:34,161
Speaker 1: wherever you're listening to this your bestie Advice segment, where

10
00:00:34,201 --> 00:00:37,561
Speaker 1: you have sent in an anonymous submission with a sticky situation,

11
00:00:37,721 --> 00:00:40,081
Speaker 1: something you just want raw, honest advice with. This is

12
00:00:40,081 --> 00:00:41,601
Speaker 1: the kind of advice that we would give each other

13
00:00:41,921 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: if we were stuck in this situation. So take it away, babe.

14
00:00:45,521 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 4: Hello, lovely ladies, I need some advice on how to

15
00:00:47,921 --> 00:00:49,521
Speaker 4: deal with a friend in my life who makes me

16
00:00:49,561 --> 00:00:50,601
Speaker 4: feel like fucking shit.

17
00:00:51,081 --> 00:00:52,241
Speaker 2: Let's call this girl Holly.

18
00:00:52,281 --> 00:00:54,521
Speaker 4: For the purpose of this question, I'll give you some

19
00:00:54,561 --> 00:00:57,881
Speaker 4: background details. Holly and I became friends many years ago.

20
00:00:58,081 --> 00:01:00,401
Speaker 4: We were only young, and our moms were best friends.

21
00:01:01,081 --> 00:01:03,441
Speaker 4: Holly basically feels a part of our family, and as

22
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:04,881
Speaker 4: kids we got on really great.

23
00:01:05,041 --> 00:01:05,961
Speaker 2: There were no issues.

24
00:01:06,521 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: We both came from different lifestyles. But during our twenties,

25
00:01:09,681 --> 00:01:13,081
Speaker 4: Holly has been really hot and cold. During this time,

26
00:01:13,161 --> 00:01:16,281
Speaker 4: she has abused me and some of my family spread rumors,

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,081
Speaker 4: stop talking to me for two years at times over

28
00:01:19,161 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: little petty things. Then my people pleasing comes in and

29
00:01:22,241 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 4: I forget the damage that she's caused and I forgive them.

30
00:01:25,601 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: I really don't have the guts to bring up.

31
00:01:27,121 --> 00:01:29,161
Speaker 4: My issues with them because they are so nasty and

32
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 4: I just can't be bothered dealing with it again. She

33
00:01:31,681 --> 00:01:33,761
Speaker 4: kind of scares me, to be honest, she goes to

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,521
Speaker 4: deep dark places to hurt someone. Oh, they also know

35
00:01:37,601 --> 00:01:40,001
Speaker 4: a lot about me and would have no issues spreading

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: my personal life. These issues have happened on and off

37
00:01:42,881 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: for ten years now, and the last year I have

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,081
Speaker 4: felt so much tension with them. They often tell my

39
00:01:48,161 --> 00:01:50,961
Speaker 4: other friends things and say don't tell her, and then

40
00:01:50,961 --> 00:01:53,961
Speaker 4: that puts them in a really horrible position. She belittles me,

41
00:01:54,121 --> 00:01:57,041
Speaker 4: She makes comments on my financial situation, trying to make

42
00:01:57,081 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: herself look better because she owns a house and I don't. Yet, recently,

43
00:02:00,961 --> 00:02:03,001
Speaker 4: she has tried to get close with another family member

44
00:02:03,041 --> 00:02:05,601
Speaker 4: of mine when we all hang out. She asks them

45
00:02:05,641 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: when they are free so that they hang out. Heaps

46
00:02:07,521 --> 00:02:09,601
Speaker 4: on their days off in front of me, and it

47
00:02:09,641 --> 00:02:12,961
Speaker 4: makes me so uncomfortable. I barely get spoken to, and

48
00:02:13,001 --> 00:02:15,481
Speaker 4: one time I tagged along with another friend and Holly said,

49
00:02:15,561 --> 00:02:17,681
Speaker 4: you weren't invited. You're interrupting our date.

50
00:02:18,721 --> 00:02:19,841
Speaker 2: What that's wild?

51
00:02:20,001 --> 00:02:20,881
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

52
00:02:21,081 --> 00:02:22,561
Speaker 4: She tried to play it off and act like she

53
00:02:22,641 --> 00:02:25,481
Speaker 4: was only mucking around. However, there was some truth behind it.

54
00:02:25,841 --> 00:02:28,761
Speaker 4: I don't get invited to events that involve Holly, the boyfriend,

55
00:02:28,841 --> 00:02:31,481
Speaker 4: or the kids anymore, but my family does. I am

56
00:02:31,561 --> 00:02:33,681
Speaker 4: even nervous writing this in case they think it's about me,

57
00:02:33,761 --> 00:02:36,281
Speaker 4: and then they'll come for me. I can't mentally handle

58
00:02:36,321 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: the rejection, feeling left out, not being good enough, being

59
00:02:39,481 --> 00:02:43,321
Speaker 4: talked about, and everything else anymore. It's always a competition

60
00:02:43,361 --> 00:02:45,561
Speaker 4: with them. She has always had a big opinion on

61
00:02:45,601 --> 00:02:47,641
Speaker 4: who I date, what I do, and where I go.

62
00:02:48,321 --> 00:02:50,641
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, We've had many funny memories together

63
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,921
Speaker 4: and it's good times in between. But the bad now

64
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,161
Speaker 4: outweighs the good. I feel hurt, I feel betrayed, and

65
00:02:56,201 --> 00:02:57,561
Speaker 4: I feel like I don't know how to let them

66
00:02:57,601 --> 00:03:00,761
Speaker 4: go in a way that doesn't cause war, stress or conflict.

67
00:03:01,161 --> 00:03:02,241
Speaker 2: I am really stuck.

68
00:03:02,761 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: Holly's family members are still close with some of mine,

69
00:03:05,121 --> 00:03:06,921
Speaker 4: and I just want to run away so I don't

70
00:03:06,921 --> 00:03:07,641
Speaker 4: have to deal with it all.

71
00:03:08,001 --> 00:03:09,561
Speaker 2: Please please, please, ash In.

72
00:03:09,561 --> 00:03:11,721
Speaker 4: Tiana, give me any advice that will help me move

73
00:03:11,761 --> 00:03:12,601
Speaker 4: on from this and heal.

74
00:03:12,761 --> 00:03:14,001
Speaker 2: I'm so stuck and lost.

75
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

76
00:03:15,281 --> 00:03:18,161
Speaker 2: Ah oh, babe, that's so tough.

77
00:03:18,641 --> 00:03:20,041
Speaker 3: That is not a real friend.

78
00:03:20,121 --> 00:03:22,001
Speaker 2: She's not your friend, babe, actually.

79
00:03:21,721 --> 00:03:25,361
Speaker 1: So scared of her, But you're also scared to break

80
00:03:25,401 --> 00:03:28,321
Speaker 1: the friendship off because she knows things about you, and

81
00:03:28,361 --> 00:03:30,561
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's things that you wouldn't want people knowing

82
00:03:31,321 --> 00:03:34,721
Speaker 1: and sounds like you are also have abandonment wounds, yes,

83
00:03:35,201 --> 00:03:38,601
Speaker 1: being rejected and not involved and them leaving you out,

84
00:03:39,201 --> 00:03:40,201
Speaker 1: which is so sad.

85
00:03:40,441 --> 00:03:43,081
Speaker 4: It's such a hard things. There's so multi layered this

86
00:03:43,241 --> 00:03:45,721
Speaker 4: friendship that you have with her, But babe, she's one

87
00:03:45,801 --> 00:03:49,361
Speaker 4: hundred percent or your friend, whether it jealousy or her

88
00:03:49,401 --> 00:03:51,961
Speaker 4: own internal wounds that she projects onto you and then

89
00:03:52,001 --> 00:03:54,241
Speaker 4: takes it out on you. No one should ever call

90
00:03:54,281 --> 00:03:56,121
Speaker 4: anybody a friend if they're treating somebody like that.

91
00:03:56,201 --> 00:03:58,681
Speaker 1: It just is not right and you should walk away

92
00:03:58,721 --> 00:04:03,241
Speaker 1: from your friendships feeling lit up, feeling supported, feeling love,

93
00:04:03,401 --> 00:04:08,601
Speaker 1: feeling change in the beautiful safe, like that's any relationship

94
00:04:08,641 --> 00:04:10,321
Speaker 1: in your life, Like that's how you should feel and

95
00:04:10,361 --> 00:04:14,161
Speaker 1: if you're not feeling like that, it's something's off, yeah,

96
00:04:14,201 --> 00:04:16,841
Speaker 1: you know, and it's not aligned and you're not honoring yourself,

97
00:04:16,881 --> 00:04:19,761
Speaker 1: like when you keep saying yes, like keeping this friendship there,

98
00:04:20,321 --> 00:04:23,041
Speaker 1: you're like rejecting and abandoning yourself. Yeah, and you're in

99
00:04:23,121 --> 00:04:25,481
Speaker 1: so much pain now. It's also one of those choos

100
00:04:25,481 --> 00:04:28,201
Speaker 1: you're hard moments. It's hard to stay in this friendship

101
00:04:28,361 --> 00:04:31,321
Speaker 1: with her. It's also really hard to leave, but which

102
00:04:31,361 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: hard is harder.

103
00:04:32,921 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

104
00:04:33,241 --> 00:04:35,001
Speaker 1: I think over long term, this is gonna weigh you down.

105
00:04:35,001 --> 00:04:37,681
Speaker 1: You're gonna be so much resentment. It's making you so sad.

106
00:04:38,401 --> 00:04:39,841
Speaker 1: It's really consuming mentally.

107
00:04:40,281 --> 00:04:42,481
Speaker 4: And this is also something that will impact your sense

108
00:04:42,481 --> 00:04:44,921
Speaker 4: of self worth as well, because if you're allowing this

109
00:04:45,001 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: kind of behavior, and I know you don't want to, like,

110
00:04:46,921 --> 00:04:48,161
Speaker 4: you don't want to be treated like this.

111
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:48,841
Speaker 2: I know that.

112
00:04:49,361 --> 00:04:51,481
Speaker 4: But if you're allowing it, the longer that you allow

113
00:04:51,521 --> 00:04:54,521
Speaker 4: it to happen for, the more you'll accumulate stories of like, oh,

114
00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: I deserve to be treated like this. I deserve to

115
00:04:57,841 --> 00:05:00,001
Speaker 4: you know, have somebody question me or speak down to me,

116
00:05:00,161 --> 00:05:02,041
Speaker 4: or have a large opinion on what I do and

117
00:05:02,081 --> 00:05:04,161
Speaker 4: where I go. You're gonna just like feel like you're

118
00:05:04,161 --> 00:05:07,161
Speaker 4: walking on eggshells all the time. And like I get

119
00:05:07,201 --> 00:05:09,721
Speaker 4: the whole like being fearful of her maybe leaking your

120
00:05:09,721 --> 00:05:13,561
Speaker 4: personal information, but for as long as you allow that

121
00:05:13,601 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 4: to be something she has over you, you will forever

122
00:05:15,641 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: feel like a victim of actually walking away. And to

123
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,001
Speaker 4: be honest, this is how people get stuck in abusive

124
00:05:21,081 --> 00:05:25,441
Speaker 4: relationships because in some way you are experiencing mental abuse, right.

125
00:05:25,601 --> 00:05:28,121
Speaker 4: It's the internal turmoil of highs and lows and up

126
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:30,801
Speaker 4: and downs and manipulation too telling you that they love you,

127
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: but then you know, like treating you differently. It's just

128
00:05:33,561 --> 00:05:36,201
Speaker 4: in a friendship sense, you know, And it doesn't make

129
00:05:36,241 --> 00:05:38,361
Speaker 4: it acceptable in any way, shape or form.

130
00:05:39,041 --> 00:05:41,481
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's it's tough. Yeah.

131
00:05:41,761 --> 00:05:43,721
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing that I would look at

132
00:05:43,721 --> 00:05:46,721
Speaker 4: in everything that you shared was looking at how much

133
00:05:46,841 --> 00:05:49,561
Speaker 4: the fear of being rejected is actually has a hold

134
00:05:49,561 --> 00:05:52,441
Speaker 4: over you, because it sounds like to me like, yes,

135
00:05:52,601 --> 00:05:54,561
Speaker 4: you know that the behavior is not right, but a

136
00:05:54,601 --> 00:05:56,841
Speaker 4: part of you wants to stay. And so it's like,

137
00:05:57,001 --> 00:06:01,081
Speaker 4: what wound are you protecting more than you're choosing yourself?

138
00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:03,521
Speaker 3: What are you benefiting from staying? Yeah?

139
00:06:03,561 --> 00:06:06,521
Speaker 4: Sure, which is not being abandoned, right, not being abandoned,

140
00:06:06,601 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: not being rejected, not being left out, not feeling like

141
00:06:08,921 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: you're getting fomo or feeling like an outcast, yeah, feeling

142
00:06:12,201 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 4: like they don't accept you.

143
00:06:13,281 --> 00:06:15,281
Speaker 1: You don't want to start normalizing this, And I feel

144
00:06:15,281 --> 00:06:17,041
Speaker 1: like the longer you put up with something and allow

145
00:06:17,161 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: something in your life, the more it starts to become normal.

146
00:06:19,681 --> 00:06:22,361
Speaker 1: You actually then don't even question it as much as

147
00:06:22,401 --> 00:06:24,121
Speaker 1: if you were to step into a new friendship that

148
00:06:24,201 --> 00:06:27,361
Speaker 1: just you make you feel so alive and so supported

149
00:06:27,401 --> 00:06:29,561
Speaker 1: and safe and loved, it would really highlight it for you.

150
00:06:29,601 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: But right now this is becoming quite normal for you. You

151
00:06:32,161 --> 00:06:32,361
Speaker 1: know what?

152
00:06:32,401 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: That's so true as well.

153
00:06:33,361 --> 00:06:35,601
Speaker 4: And you know what's cool is when you look at

154
00:06:35,641 --> 00:06:38,481
Speaker 4: the way that you treat people in friendships, because I

155
00:06:38,521 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: can guarantee by the sounds of it, you're a very loving,

156
00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: genuine friend who's very soft and kind and all the things.

157
00:06:44,161 --> 00:06:47,041
Speaker 4: Would you even consider doing any of the things that

158
00:06:47,081 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: she's done?

159
00:06:47,801 --> 00:06:48,041
Speaker 3: Yeah?

160
00:06:48,121 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: And if the answer is no, that's your standard. Your

161
00:06:51,561 --> 00:06:53,961
Speaker 4: standard is how you treat others you expect to be

162
00:06:54,041 --> 00:06:56,801
Speaker 4: treated back. So if it doesn't mirror that, you are

163
00:06:56,841 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: allowed to walk away. You are allowed to create temporary conflict,

164
00:07:00,841 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: because no amount of conflict is going to be worse

165
00:07:03,641 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: than you abandoning yourself to say here.

166
00:07:05,601 --> 00:07:07,561
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you have children or not,

167
00:07:07,601 --> 00:07:09,641
Speaker 1: but I think for me having kids now too, Like

168
00:07:09,681 --> 00:07:11,961
Speaker 1: I think my kids are watching everything. So if I

169
00:07:12,041 --> 00:07:14,281
Speaker 1: was to just allow someone to treat me with disrespect

170
00:07:14,441 --> 00:07:18,241
Speaker 1: or not treat me with love and kindness, like, I

171
00:07:18,281 --> 00:07:20,041
Speaker 1: want them to see that it's okay to walk away,

172
00:07:20,561 --> 00:07:22,361
Speaker 1: and like you can do that in a kind, respectful

173
00:07:22,361 --> 00:07:24,681
Speaker 1: way to them and to yourself. But I would never

174
00:07:24,721 --> 00:07:27,161
Speaker 1: want to stay in a relationship or a friendship that

175
00:07:27,241 --> 00:07:30,801
Speaker 1: wasn't respectful and mutually beneficial and made us both feel good,

176
00:07:31,121 --> 00:07:32,681
Speaker 1: and for my kids to think that's normal. And just

177
00:07:32,721 --> 00:07:34,361
Speaker 1: because you be friends of ages, you have to stay

178
00:07:34,361 --> 00:07:38,401
Speaker 1: friends with them. It's such an old way of thinking

179
00:07:38,441 --> 00:07:40,361
Speaker 1: of you've got to stay in a marriage because you've

180
00:07:40,401 --> 00:07:42,521
Speaker 1: had got vows to each other, or oh, we've known

181
00:07:42,561 --> 00:07:44,281
Speaker 1: each other since we were primary school, so of course

182
00:07:44,321 --> 00:07:45,561
Speaker 1: I have to invite her to my wedding.

183
00:07:45,721 --> 00:07:46,761
Speaker 2: She was my oldest friend.

184
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:49,121
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I can't abandon her now. It's like time

185
00:07:49,201 --> 00:07:52,641
Speaker 1: does not equal successful relationships. If you've been with someone

186
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:54,921
Speaker 1: like a friendship or a partner for forty years and

187
00:07:54,961 --> 00:07:58,681
Speaker 1: you're still together and still friends or you know, married,

188
00:07:58,961 --> 00:08:01,521
Speaker 1: but you're miserable and you feel shit around them. That

189
00:08:01,641 --> 00:08:04,841
Speaker 1: is not successful, that's awful. It's a life way too short,

190
00:08:04,881 --> 00:08:06,521
Speaker 1: like tomorrow is not promised, Like you don't want to

191
00:08:06,561 --> 00:08:08,801
Speaker 1: get to eighty years old and look back and go, oh,

192
00:08:09,041 --> 00:08:10,441
Speaker 1: why the fuck did I put up with that for

193
00:08:10,441 --> 00:08:12,001
Speaker 1: so long? And let me ask you this, if you

194
00:08:12,001 --> 00:08:15,121
Speaker 1: had another friend come to you and say, hey, got

195
00:08:15,121 --> 00:08:17,681
Speaker 1: this best friend. We're friends for ages, but she makes

196
00:08:17,721 --> 00:08:19,921
Speaker 1: you feel like shit, Like I am so upset when

197
00:08:19,921 --> 00:08:22,161
Speaker 1: I'm around her. I don't ever feel good, Like what

198
00:08:22,201 --> 00:08:24,081
Speaker 1: do you think I should do? What advice would you

199
00:08:24,121 --> 00:08:26,281
Speaker 1: give her? Would you say to her, Oh, girl, just

200
00:08:26,281 --> 00:08:28,841
Speaker 1: put up with it. That's all you deserve. You're not

201
00:08:28,881 --> 00:08:31,321
Speaker 1: going to get any better. Stay she's your oldest friend.

202
00:08:31,681 --> 00:08:34,361
Speaker 1: Just what do you mean friend? Or would you say

203
00:08:34,401 --> 00:08:37,081
Speaker 1: you deserve better, babe? Like you can find friendships make

204
00:08:37,121 --> 00:08:40,401
Speaker 1: you feel so alive and safe and loved, Like what

205
00:08:40,441 --> 00:08:42,761
Speaker 1: would you tell her? You need to give yourself that

206
00:08:42,841 --> 00:08:46,481
Speaker 1: same advice and that same respect and make changes like

207
00:08:46,561 --> 00:08:48,801
Speaker 1: you don't deserve this. By the sounds of it's not

208
00:08:48,841 --> 00:08:51,481
Speaker 1: going to change. I also, I'm curious if you've tried

209
00:08:51,521 --> 00:08:53,321
Speaker 1: to have the hard conversations.

210
00:08:52,681 --> 00:08:54,841
Speaker 3: Of how this makes you feel. I don't know if

211
00:08:54,841 --> 00:08:55,561
Speaker 3: she'd be open to it.

212
00:08:55,681 --> 00:08:57,441
Speaker 2: Yes, sounds like a bit of an unsafe friend.

213
00:08:57,601 --> 00:08:58,281
Speaker 3: If you all.

214
00:08:58,081 --> 00:09:00,761
Speaker 1: Experienced that, Well, you can't actually communicate because you know

215
00:09:00,801 --> 00:09:02,241
Speaker 1: they're going to react in a way or they're going

216
00:09:02,281 --> 00:09:05,001
Speaker 1: a gaslight. You'll blame your make you feel like you're crazy.

217
00:09:05,041 --> 00:09:08,361
Speaker 1: See you're too emotional or too much whatever we've all experienced.

218
00:09:08,361 --> 00:09:11,201
Speaker 1: That's I feel for you, But that's also something you

219
00:09:11,201 --> 00:09:14,001
Speaker 1: could explore. But I think this friendship it's time to

220
00:09:14,001 --> 00:09:14,681
Speaker 1: close a chapter.

221
00:09:14,961 --> 00:09:17,681
Speaker 4: Yeah, goodbye, good bye and a goodbye. And you know what,

222
00:09:17,721 --> 00:09:19,441
Speaker 4: you don't need to feel guilty about it either, because

223
00:09:20,041 --> 00:09:21,881
Speaker 4: the reason being is, yes, you may have known her

224
00:09:21,921 --> 00:09:23,681
Speaker 4: for a really long time. And it's not to say

225
00:09:23,681 --> 00:09:25,121
Speaker 4: that you're not going to feel guilty, because you might

226
00:09:25,161 --> 00:09:27,641
Speaker 4: because you care, right, But you don't need to feel

227
00:09:27,641 --> 00:09:29,721
Speaker 4: bad about it because the disrespect is so loud.

228
00:09:29,881 --> 00:09:32,241
Speaker 2: Yes, the disrespect is the closure. Goodbye.

229
00:09:32,401 --> 00:09:35,441
Speaker 1: Yeah, you deserve better, babe, you deserve better.

230
00:09:35,801 --> 00:09:37,561
Speaker 3: One hundred percent love an update.

231
00:09:37,681 --> 00:09:38,561
Speaker 2: We would love an update.

232
00:09:38,641 --> 00:09:40,361
Speaker 3: Let us know how you go what you decide to do.

233
00:09:40,521 --> 00:09:42,521
Speaker 4: Also, we're super sorry that this is what you're going

234
00:09:42,521 --> 00:09:45,441
Speaker 4: through because friendship stuff is really hard and we both

235
00:09:45,521 --> 00:09:49,281
Speaker 4: firsthand experienced a lot of friendship breakdowns and painful things

236
00:09:49,281 --> 00:09:51,641
Speaker 4: that have happened with friends, and it's really heartbreaking.

237
00:09:51,841 --> 00:09:53,721
Speaker 1: And I wish you say that like once you leave,

238
00:09:53,961 --> 00:09:57,401
Speaker 1: it goes away, but it doesn't. There's triggers, there's hurt.

239
00:09:57,521 --> 00:10:00,161
Speaker 1: Your heart hurts. Yeah, it's like a different breakup to

240
00:10:00,641 --> 00:10:03,281
Speaker 1: an intimate relationship, but it's still a breakup. It's still grief.

241
00:10:03,321 --> 00:10:05,401
Speaker 1: It's still something you think about. You get treated, and

242
00:10:05,441 --> 00:10:08,001
Speaker 1: you have to sit with those uncomfortable feelings and move

243
00:10:08,081 --> 00:10:10,921
Speaker 1: through them. But I do promise you, over time it

244
00:10:11,041 --> 00:10:13,481
Speaker 1: hurts less and less or like you know a womb

245
00:10:13,521 --> 00:10:15,761
Speaker 1: that feels like it's bleeding, it's just like a little scratch.

246
00:10:15,801 --> 00:10:17,681
Speaker 1: We literally had something last night where I was like, wow,

247
00:10:17,721 --> 00:10:19,321
Speaker 1: they just scratched a womb, Like it's not going to

248
00:10:19,401 --> 00:10:21,961
Speaker 1: consume my day anymore. Yeah, but it scratched the wound

249
00:10:22,041 --> 00:10:23,841
Speaker 1: of Like, oh that hurts, you know.

250
00:10:24,281 --> 00:10:27,521
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, And on top of that, better people will come.

251
00:10:27,761 --> 00:10:30,041
Speaker 1: Oh when you close one door, it creates more space.

252
00:10:30,121 --> 00:10:31,201
Speaker 1: People that are so alive.

253
00:10:31,321 --> 00:10:31,761
Speaker 2: It does.

254
00:10:31,961 --> 00:10:34,321
Speaker 4: But first, before you can open those new doors, you

255
00:10:34,401 --> 00:10:36,841
Speaker 4: have got to be willing to let go of what

256
00:10:36,841 --> 00:10:39,601
Speaker 4: you're holding onto, which is this really underligned friendship. Because

257
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:42,201
Speaker 4: right now, think about all of this relationship is taking

258
00:10:42,281 --> 00:10:44,721
Speaker 4: up so much your mental capacity. You wouldn't even have

259
00:10:44,881 --> 00:10:47,401
Speaker 4: energetic capacity to invite a new friend in. You don't

260
00:10:47,401 --> 00:10:50,081
Speaker 4: have space for good because you're actually entertaining the stuff

261
00:10:50,081 --> 00:10:52,481
Speaker 4: that actually doesn't feel good. Still, So when you can

262
00:10:52,561 --> 00:10:54,121
Speaker 4: let go, and you be willing to let go, not

263
00:10:54,241 --> 00:10:56,081
Speaker 4: knowing what the future holds, I promise you there will

264
00:10:56,121 --> 00:10:58,681
Speaker 4: be more people who come who are just like you,

265
00:10:58,721 --> 00:11:01,161
Speaker 4: who love on you, who make you feel safe, and

266
00:11:01,201 --> 00:11:02,841
Speaker 4: you can do that to them in return.

267
00:11:02,801 --> 00:11:05,201
Speaker 1: Being quite a low vibration right now, Like yeah, in

268
00:11:05,241 --> 00:11:07,321
Speaker 1: that vibration, you're going to attract more of that. You

269
00:11:07,361 --> 00:11:10,561
Speaker 1: can remove yourself from that environment and lift your state up.

270
00:11:10,601 --> 00:11:13,681
Speaker 1: You will attract more people on the same vibration as you. Yeah,

271
00:11:13,761 --> 00:11:16,361
Speaker 1: that is real, and then that's all right. Yeah, nothing changes,

272
00:11:16,401 --> 00:11:18,961
Speaker 1: Nothing changes. Change is going to start with you, unfortunately.

273
00:11:19,121 --> 00:11:21,361
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you've got this, babe, You've got this. You

274
00:11:21,361 --> 00:11:23,281
Speaker 2: can do hard things. You can do hard things.

275
00:11:23,281 --> 00:11:26,361
Speaker 4: One you can yeah, yeah, let ever know how you go.

276
00:11:26,441 --> 00:11:30,241
Speaker 1: Okay an update having on you by Babe Bye,
