Hello, beautiful beans and welcome to the podcast episode of today.

This is the head noise episode.

We are punching through some fucking great questions.

I'm recording two head noise episodes in a row and I just got off this, well, last week's

head noise, whatever, if you listen to it.

And I'm feeling hot and fiery and I'm getting emotionally invested in your stories.

And so I'm like, I'm just going to roll straight into the next episode because I'm in the

zone.

So I'm not going to give you much of a life update also because I am on maternity leave while

you're listening to this.

So there will be a lot that's actually happening in my life.

But I'm yet to experience it by the time you listen to this episode.

So it's not

going to really be a relevant life update. I just kind of want to dive straight in to these

questions. So let's do it. Hi, Alexis. I'm currently in later years of high school and I'm

struggling with friends. Not that I don't have any. I would

honestly consider myself popular as I'm very friendly with loads of people, but I feel like I have

no real friends if you get me. Like everyone seems to have their best friend or their boyfriend

slash girlfriend or their go-to person that they spend majority of time outside of school with.

But I honestly feel like once I'm outside of school, I have no one.

And I live in a regional town so there isn't many options in terms of friends until I leave high school.

I don't want a romantic relationship.
