I don't know if you have sadness, but if you have rage or if you have a numbness usually is an unwillingness for your psyche to visit a feeling.

Hi guys. It's Leanne. No Burt this time. I always like doing a Q&A with Burt, but we've been trying to get this done for over a week and we just keep missing each other. So you're stuck with me, only me. I hope it'll be good. I'm used to talking to Burt. I guess I'll just talk to Canberra. I don't know. But if you have a question for me, and usually me and Bert,

let me give you the phone number. You can call 818-949-8536. And you can ask me anything. And

hopefully I'll be able to answer it for you. So anyway, thanks for coming back. And I guess we'll take our first question.

Hi, Leanne. I'm Bert, if he's there. My name's AJ. I'm 23 years old. I'm from Wisconsin.

And my question is basically, for our college, I became really close with a good group of friends and I'm super close to my family and all of us kind of like, I invite my friends over a lot, we all hang out, I'm super close with them.

And basically I'm getting to the point in my life where like some of my friends who I started out being friends with them before they were in relationships or starting to get like new significant others, I guess, like girlfriends,

boyfriends, whatever. And sometimes I just feel like I'm hanging out with my friends less,

I guess. And it really has nothing to do with me, and it more has to do with them getting

into relationships. And I have other friends for our college and stuff that was really

close with at some points and like kind of drifting away.

So I guess my question is like, I don't even know.

I guess I just need advice on like the longevity of friendships.

And like I know I'm really early in my 20s and there's going to be a bunch of more people that I meet.

But sometimes it just feels like there's nothing you can do about just like keeping a friendship,

I guess, if they're distracted with other things and stuff.

And also, I guess my other question is, do you have any advice on like first dates with people

you find, I guess, sometimes I'm on a date with

someone and I'm so annoying and I'm like okay I don't want to date this person again but sometimes

I feel like maybe I didn't give him a chance enough or something like that but I don't know

super big fan of both you guys I love the podcast and burke Kreisher he turned me on to so many

different podcasts since I was a senior in high school.
