Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to seeing other people unfiltered.

It's Thursday, so that means real-life daters are coming on to share their real, sometimes shocking, and always unfiltered experiences.

Think you're alone out there?

Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up with your mom or

whose last date ended up being a catfish. Think again. Hey guys, it's Alana and welcome back for another

episode of seeing other people. I hope you guys are all having a great day. And if you're not,

I hope this episode has something in it that will make your day a little bit better.

I've been trying to recognize when I'm not having a good day instead of just feeling bad,

bad, bad, bad, bad the whole time. If I start feeling bad, I'm like, okay, what's going on here?

Is there something I can do about it? Why am I feeling this way? And I feel like

kind of breaking it down like, okay, I'm upset because of this thing. Is there something I can do

about it or not at this current moment? If not, what else can I do to make myself feel a little

bit better? And if there's something I can do, if there's nothing I can do, but if there's something I can do, there's nothing I can do.

But if there's something I can do related to the situation or not, like even going for a walk,

getting a smoothie, you know, taking a break and watching a half hour of a show or working out,

whatever it is, I'm trying to put it on myself to do that thing and kind of take responsibility

for how I'm feeling because it feels better to recognize that you're not feeling well,

do something about it, and then be able to go about your day feeling a little bit better.

So if I'm not finding you in a place where you're having a good day, I hope that something in this

episode or even just tuning out, listening to this episode helps you feel a little better.

And I'm excited to get into it.
