<v Speaker 2>and say it. Subletting is weird and gross. I know

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 2>what you're thinking. The cost of living crisis is crisising.

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>But I was thinking about it recently and I was like,

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I live alone.

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Now it's a new it's a new moment in time.

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Don't tell Ted Bundy.

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I guess it is time to be right.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 3>I got a middle part.

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I could be targeted living alone. I'm like, if

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I go somewhere for a few weeks, I considered subletting

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 2>my room until I thought about the realities of subletding,

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm freaked out. I'm freaked out. So I have

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 2>a chair that I bought, right, so it's an expensive,

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>beautiful chair cashmere.

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps what's a velve velvet velvet with fringe and not

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the velveteer.

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>This is a velvet moment, and I'm thinking, I'm so

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.959
<v Speaker 2>scared to have someone subwet in my room because they're

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna sit there farty ass on my chair, And when

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>they're in my bed, they're gonna soak their sweat through

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 2>it because there's not air conditioning. And when they're in

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>my house, they're gonna use my la crusee to cook

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>spaghetti and get it all stained. I just don't know, Like,

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 2>let's take the money out of it for a second.

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>How do you cope with knowing that someone is in

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>your house?

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I guess it's more so like you would be

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.679
<v Speaker 4>mindful of the person you're subletting, too, because I could

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 4>never feel totally comfortable behaving in my homely way in

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 4>somebody else's home, because I'm assuming as gross as you

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 4>think the person who's coming to sleep in your house is,

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm assuming the person who lives there is gross. So

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm not getting into your pots and pants like I

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 4>would own pots and pants. I'm not pickling, I'm not brining,

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean.

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm just it's not fermenting.

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 2>No, You're you're boiling your mooncup in like Jamie Oliver.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 4>Pits surface based experience. You know, you're changing the sheets,

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 4>You're not going through drawers, You're still living out of

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 4>your suit case.

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>The moon cup is rotting in the back through it's

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 2>like stained. Shut up, listen. I'm just I just like, hey,

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 2>they do them rifling through my little things, grubbing.

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, what's happening now is you are and

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 3>correct me if I'm wrong.

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I will.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 4>How we see the world is a reflection of how

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 4>we are. So you presuming that someone's going to go

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 4>in and start rifling and boiling moon cups?

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Dare I say? Dare I say?

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Dare I say? I've never used the moon carp.

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 3>I would never use one.

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I put one up there once, okay, and ideally had

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>to go to my friend's house who's a midwife.

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 4>I got to break down break the seal you got

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 4>You've got to squeeze it to break the seal. Okay,

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 4>this is my gripe with the twenty first entry. You

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 4>people don't like reading instructions.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I read the instructions. I got it up.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I tried to push it up fifteen times. It finally

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 2>got up.

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yes, like, hmmm, I got okay, this thing out.

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>He always flexed brooms reset. I don't really go on Facebook.

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 4>And liar liar, Sorry that was immature, very mature.

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling targeted and you're being emotionally manipulative.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I actually do go on Facebook a lot, mainly to

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>go on Facebook Marketplace, which is a subsidiary of Facebook.

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I consider it very different fantastic deals on numerous house goods.

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Mikayla has.

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>An anonymous assortment an informant, Yeah, a mole in other terms,

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>who has sent him? I won't docks a suburb so

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>they know who they are.

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay.

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>So there's a suburb group like, for example, I'm part

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 2>of BONDI each local Loop. There's also Surrey Hills Local Loop, etc.

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 2>The list goes on this. Let's call it poopy Poopy

<v Speaker 2>people of the suburb Poopy vill Someone an anonymous member rights, Hi,

<v Speaker 2>that's in bunny Rabbits event in poopy Land, and preferably

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.800

<v Speaker 4>Fourteen reacts, thirty seven comments. Is that pumping for a

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 4>group like this.

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>The person seemed to think so, because merely seven hours

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>later they write, Okay, so the last post about this

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 2>bunny rabbit adult event was quite hilarious and I enjoyed

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>reading the comments. However, I was serious crying face. Yes,

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>it is what you think.

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 1>It is. Many names to call it, but I'll just

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 1>call it triple X.

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 3>Can I just pause for a second.

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 4>This person is messaging anonymously but expecting that people with

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 4>their full name and face are going to respond like

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 4>earnestly to this post.

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm bit horny even reading it, he continues. Intention not

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>a scam, don't need payment, don't need anything. Poopy Land

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>has some great characters. I told you it was worth

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>calling it something else, and we thought winding down and

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 2>just having a bit.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Of fun is necessary in the time we're all in.

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I really like, what time is that?

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 3>The unpresident to time?

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Thence wayback, I've forgotten about them. I realized I didn't

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>respect anonymity, and if people are genuinely interested in organizing

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>something like this, feel free to contact in the email

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 2>below poopypants X at gmail dot com. Again, I enjoyed

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>all the comments, and no this isn't a scam or

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>anything to let loose, relax, meet new people and have

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>a bit of fun. Take this how you wish. Okay,

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So now there's inter group violence. So the Poopy People

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>group has now been implicated in another group called the

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 2>pp pant which is another suburb. So poopy pant people,

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>right the pe the ppe pants are a big man

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 2>about the passion pit being organized and feel excluded and

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>the people over in pp pants right, hey, pals. Not

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>sure if anyone saw the recent party imitation in the

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 2>poopy Pants community group, but quite frankly, I'm a bit

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>pissed off that they excluded us. Not very neighbor of them.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm so bored of their superiority complex. I get that

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 2>they have a cheese room in their IgA.

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Big woop.

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I proposedly organize a bigger, better adult party to show

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>them who is the better suburb.

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>This reminds me as well. So last week I told

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody about.

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 3>And fitness dating singles mixer.

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the mixer that I found with the Little Flyer,

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 2>and it was only for people who were fit and

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 2>over the age of thirty five, which is quite upsetting

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 2>to read. I personally think that These groups are a

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.799
<v Speaker 2>great id and it's a nice way to meet people. However,

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 2>why are we so keen to hang out only with

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 2>people in our local area?

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Is this suburb elitism?

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you think suburbalidism exists.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 5>One hundred percent? I only hang out with people in

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 5>a way.

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Really, Oh, I hang.

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 5>Out with you yeah, on the job, on the job site, on.

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 3>The job site.

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 4>Is it suburb elicism or practicality? Because realistically true, it's

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 4>like if we're trying to organize something, that's probably going

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 4>to be The key phrase is like we're just unwinding

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.679
<v Speaker 4>after a big day. Do I want to travel into

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 4>suburb to unwind?

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 3>No? I want to go down my street.

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 4>I want to walk ten minutes north and commingle with

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 4>my community. This neighboring suburb has proven their inferiority by

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 4>being upsets that they weren't considered just make another one,

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 4>But they want to make another one in spite of

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 4>this suburb. You've proved you can't hang If you really

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 4>were about your suburb, you say, this is a great

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 4>idea from said suburb. We should do our own adult

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 4>party in our wouldn't it be great of one day

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 4>we could join suburbs.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 5>So my friend who sent this to me, I can

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 5>confirm that they actually don't live in this suburb. They

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 5>live in the neighboring suburb. And they've been lying. They

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 5>tell everyone they live in Poopyville, but they actually live

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 5>in Peepeville. Wow, because they are suffering from the elitism.

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.239
<v Speaker 1>They're a victim.

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 2>There is pepe Village like, way is Poopyville way better

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>than people it is.

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 4>It's a better vibe, it's more artisanal, like, it's very neighborly,

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 4>community vibe, hipster coded, whereas Pepe vill is gentrified. It's

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 4>like in its earlier stages of gentrification. Okay, so it's

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 4>like if you know, you know, but you're not really

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 4>hanging out in pee Paville, you maybe get a good,

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 4>good feed. But I can see why peaeovil Verson would

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 4>lie and say they're from Poopyville.

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Damn.

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 4>People say they live in Bondi when they live in

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 4>Randi Junction.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Bondi Junction to Bondi b.

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 4>You restart the junction King and it's not the same,

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 4>but that's okay.

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.599
<v Speaker 1>And rand Week is similar similar.

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, well, thank you.

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to Flex and Rooms on Kita.

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Are you emotionally untrustworthy? That's the question we're trying to

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 4>figure out the answer to today on Flex and Rooms.

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 4>When we hear that statement, I can assure you that

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 4>you're on the defense.

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 3>More not me. Not me, I'm a trustworthy person. We'll

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 3>listen to this.

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 6>Here's the thing with boundaries. When you're someone who says

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 6>yes when you want to say no, you are actually

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 6>emotionally untrustworthy. And what you just described is that Jen

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 6>is emotionally trustworthy because she will tell you the truth

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 6>about what she thinks, how she feels, what she wants.

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 6>You're not guessing.

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 4>This reminds me of a conversation for me and I

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 4>had last week on air, and I was saying that

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't mind when people flake, not that it doesn't

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 4>offend me, it doesn't irritate me. These things are all true,

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 4>But if someone's gonna spend time with me, I want

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 4>to be enthusiastic. I want it to be like a

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 4>heck yes, not a begrudging Well. I said I was

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 4>going to, so I'm gonna do it. And when you

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 4>get there, your back is up on the wall. You're

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.079
<v Speaker 4>complaining about everything. You're not down and it's something that

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 4>I've had to reckon with the more that I socialize

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 4>with different people who don't necessarily feel kind of like

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 4>an allegiance to me. You know, when your best friends

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 4>like I'll do whatever because you're my best friend. Not

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 4>everybody feels that close to you in the sense that

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 4>they prioritize not offending you over how they actually feel.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 4>And so when I meet people who have strong boundaries

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 4>in that sense, when they say, actually have work, I

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 4>can't hang out, or hey, like I can't do a

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.559
<v Speaker 4>FaceTime right now, like I'm not feeling well, I'm like, well.

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>It's different.

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 3>It's different because it's like, yeah, I do that to people.

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, yeah, I want that same thing return,

0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 4>and I want to know that when you say things,

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I can trust it. In this instance, it's way more

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 4>nuanced and like do you say yes when you want

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 4>to say no?

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Babes my boss being like.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 4>You don't you know, emotionally untrustworthy because you came in

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 4>to day that your vibes weren't there.

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, calm down.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 4>But I think we would all benefit from respecting when

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 4>people tell us the truth, even when it doesn't hit

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 4>like we want us to not when they're scathingly honest,

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 4>but when you're like, okay, I didn't want to hear that,

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 4>but thanks letting me know that you're not comfortable or

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 4>that you you know, don't feel like you want to

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 4>share that experience with me, Like clocked, got it?

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Heard?

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Hard to do. I feel like we do that with

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>ease and grace.

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 4>You are right because we built we built that skill

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 4>in this instance, though. You know how they say how

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.719
<v Speaker 4>people treat you says a lot about themselves.

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 4>It's really tricky when you don't know somebody well and

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 4>you start to create a mental catalog of what their

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 4>behavior means by using your own behavior as a reference point. Wow,

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 4>that is a really dangerous territory and stuff that like

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.959
<v Speaker 4>we don't really like catch quick enough. So I might say, well,

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 4>I would respond really quickly, why haven't they? I wouldn't,

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 4>by the way, but why haven't they? Or like I

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.439
<v Speaker 4>would never say that, why why would they? Or if

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 4>that was me, I would do this. It's like, well,

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 4>that's not you. So let's find out what they're like

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 4>and then measure their behavior against their own behavior.

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's hard to do, so hard. Everything's hid everything.

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>It's hard, but I'd like that consideration.

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Flex and Frooms on kedus Annabelle dmd us via the

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.719
<v Speaker 4>Flex and Rooms Instagram. At Flex and Frooms anyway, you

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 4>get good instagrams, And they've said I've been thinking a

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 4>lot lately about how I'm constantly reaching out to my

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 4>friends to hang out and I've cast like three plus

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 4>lines before someone actually takes me up on the offer.

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 4>I sometimes get sad about it and just try and

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 4>ignore people, but weeks and months go by and no

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 4>one reaches out to me.

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.080
<v Speaker 3>I get that people have boyfriends and jobs. I have

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 3>a life too.

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 4>It's actually so annoying and I feel like I'm probably

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 4>the problem. But I I don't know why. I thought

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 4>this might be a topic for you to discuss. Have

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 4>you experienced this casting the net and having it?

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes? I think I have.

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I think when I first moved to Sydney about five

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>years ago, I didn't know that many people, and to

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 2>be fair, I don't know how good I was to

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 2>be around.

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I would reach out a lot.

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say that I had like a stable group

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 2>of friends for quite a long while.

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Of living here.

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 2>But I also like, wasn't that fun to hang with,

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Like I wouldn't eat with people I like, didn't stay

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.200
<v Speaker 2>out really late, I wouldn't drink like I kind of

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 2>did all these things that weren't conducive to like making

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>better bonds with people. So I can personally pin it

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 2>on my own behavior. However, I also know what it's

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 2>like for people to move and like get harder jobs,

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>get partners, and we are if you're a similar age

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 2>to us, a lot of people do have partners and

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>do have jobs that are a bit more stressful than

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>when we were, say twenty two, in different ways.

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't feel too bad about it. I know it's frustrating.

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I used to sometimes feel like something was wrong with me,

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 2>but I also think you need to know that like

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the time it is circumstance and things change.

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Like there's been times in my life I've spoken about

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 2>this where like I didn't feel like I had enough

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 2>people to hang out with, but then other times I have.

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:13.680
<v Speaker 1>An overflow of people.

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I think sometimes you need to voice things because sometimes

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>people don't realize how many times you're reaching out, Like

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I've done a thing.

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I remember when I moved to Sydney.

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 2>A few other girls had just moved up from Melbourne.

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that a group chat and I was like why,

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Like I said something, I'm like, is there like a

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>group chat that I can be part of to know

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>what you guys are doing because I feel lonely? And

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 2>they took it on board and we started a group

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 2>chat that we still have.

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm someone who will bring up when.

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>They feel socially excluded. I've always been good at that.

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Give people the benefit of the doubt, give people the

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to say, oh no, actually, like even if they're lying,

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>let them know how you're feeling.

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would say someone on the other end of

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 4>the spectrum. I used to presume that people who would

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 4>reach out first just wanted to socialize more than I did.

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 4>It kind of often feels like when someone's constantly reaching

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 4>out and you don't have that kind of reciprocated friendship,

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 4>that it's just another person. I'm like the people to

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 4>ask to do stuff. Also begs the question like, not

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 4>all friendship and acquaintance ships are made equally. Are you

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 4>the same tier of friendship as the people you're reaching

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 4>out to and are you the same level of priority

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 4>and you're not going to know exactly, but you kind

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 4>of get a vibe like, for me, I'm in my

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 4>outside era. I want to be going out. I'm not

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 4>trying to drag my homebody people to do that with me.

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 4>I have to make new party friends, new going out friends,

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 4>reach out to people that I've never reached out to

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 4>before and said, hey, like, let's run on this weekend?

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Can I get a plus one? And that's what you

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 4>have to do. So if your current cohort really aren't

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 4>reciprocating my energy, I swear to you there are people

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 4>who are.

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I like that.

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.479
