Summary
In today's episode, I talk about the misconception that people with little to no friends are bad and don't know how to maintain healthy friendships. I strongly believe a big reason why people struggle to maintain friendships is because they don't allow their friends to walk all over them. These people would rather stick up for themselves and risk losing those friends than stay in friendships with people who don't respect them. I also talk about my experience in and out of a large friend group and why I think these types of friendships can bring out the worst in people.

| 0:22.4 | like i can't breathe it's because i can't your girl has asthma i live on a main road and i was trying |
| 0:28.7 | i was running around today trying to figure out where to record where you can't hear the cars there's a loud |
| 0:33.2 | one coming right now nice really really nice so if you hear loud cars, if you can hear me breathing |
| 0:40.5 | so deeply into the microphone, if it sounds like I'm dry heaving and about to pass out, that's why. |
| 0:46.0 | But today I want to talk about friendships. I've been seeing a lot of people talk about large friend |
| 0:51.7 | groups on TikTok and just questioning friends in general. |
| 0:55.2 | And if you follow me on TikTok, you know this is my jam. I talk about friendships all the time. |
| 1:00.5 | I'm really passionate about speaking on them because of my unfortunate experience with friendships |
| 1:06.9 | or lack of friendships. It was also just New Year's Eve and the holidays. And whenever |
| 1:12.5 | there's a holiday, I always find myself wishing I had a large friend group. But today we're |
| 1:19.5 | going to talk about why big friend groups are not what they seem to be and why they kind of suck. |
| 1:26.4 | So let's get into it. I've always had friends, like a |
| 1:31.2 | couple friends. I've had scattered friendships, but I've never had a large friend group. I've always |
| 1:36.8 | wanted that though. And at my high school, every single grade had a specific large friend group. |
| 1:43.5 | Everyone knew about them. It was very exclusive. |

| 1:52.5 | hang out with all the time, go to football games with, dances with, drive to school with. |
| 1:58.0 | And I just wanted that so badly. And I never had that. Even my freshman year of |
| 2:04.6 | college, my first two semesters, I went to school out of state and I didn't know anyone but my boyfriend. |
| 2:10.7 | So when I was introduced to this big group of girls, I tried so hard to fit in and be a part of it. And it worked for a little bit, |
| 2:19.9 | like we would go to the dining hall and go to the library and study and go to parties. |
