Summary
I'm joined by a woman in her thirties living in a small mountain town, who opens up about her experiences navigating singlehood, repeated heartbreaks, and the complexities of dating in a small town close-knit community. She delves into the impact of infidelity, unrequited love, and emotionally unavailable partners, as well as the challenges of moving on while constantly encountering exes. Despite the struggles, she offers insights on establishing boundaries and pursuing personal growth, advocating for self-awareness and emotional well-being in relationships.

| 0:04.8 | Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to Seeing Other People Unfiltered. |
| 0:09.8 | It's Thursday, so that means real-life daters are coming on to share their real, sometimes shocking, and always unfiltered experiences. |
| 0:17.8 | Think you're alone out there? |
| 0:18.9 | Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up with your mom or whose last date ended up being a catfish? Think again. Think you're alone out there. Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up with your mom |
| 0:21.5 | or whose last date ended up being a catfish. Think again. Hi, everyone. I am anonymous today. I am a |
| 0:29.5 | gal in her 30s who lives in a small mountain town in the west. And I'm really excited to get to know Alana in this |
| 0:39.9 | conversation and see where it takes us and talk to you all about what it looks like to be in a bit |
| 0:47.0 | of a vicious cycle of, we'll say, rejection and being wary of singlehood, kind of taking over my personality a little bit. |

| 1:29.3 | touching that with a 10 foot pole. But most people don't think about it beforehand. |
| 1:33.5 | So that's a really cool angle. Yeah. I mean, I'll say for listeners out there, the reason that |
| 1:39.6 | this conversation is happening is because of how much of a fan of Alana I am, but also a fan of dating |
| 1:46.0 | podcasts I am. And that has inherently contributed to this idea that, like, shoot, me being |

| 2:04.4 | before I can tell you the first thing about, you know, some interesting global news that I should |
| 2:11.1 | probably know more about. So I'm like, okay, if I can switch my nightly routine listening to dating |
