0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason
0:12.8	de Filipo. Today's fan mail Friday. You know what that means unless you're new to the
0:16.7	show. Essentially what that means is we're taking your questions, advice, complaints,
0:21.5	feedback, but mostly just advice. Good or bad. Hopefully good. Hopefully good. Although
0:26.2	we've had some stinkers. Haven't we Jason? Yeah it happens. It happens. It's rare. I'd
0:30.0	like to think it's rare, but anyway let's cut right to it. Hello AOC. I'm a 21-year-old
0:34.1	triplet with two brothers and an older sister who's 25. Well one of my brothers and I are
0:38.5	very outgoing, athletic, and are headed on a clear career path. My sister is stuck in
0:42.8	a career she's unhappy with and has been about to look for a job for at least a year while

1:05.4	doesn't motivate them to apply for jobs, focus on their hobbies, or try and make friends.
1:10.6	Nothing I say works. Am I just being an overprotective sister? I want to see them do
1:14.6	well, but I can't find the right words. Thanks for the advice and overly loving sister.
1:19.7	So to me, Jason, I don't know what you think here. This just sounds like depression straight
1:24.0	up. And a lot of people don't get this one right away because they imagine depression
1:28.7	to look differently than it does or they think depressed people have always been that way
1:33.8	when that's not the case. And it often sneaks up over time. And of course, since she's
1:38.0	the sister, she's like, well, he wasn't like this one. We were kids. So if he was depressed,
1:41.8	I would have noticed it when he was younger and you know, there's all kinds of sort of
