Summary
UNFILTERED: I'm joined by a man who went through a painful breakup in Mid-August. We hear how the situation spawned a lot of self-discovery and growth in the past four months as he's been healing, learning, and reflecting. We discuss how to read mixed signals, what to do when someone isn't ready to commit but you are, and how to process the feedback that "you did everything right," but it didn't work out anyway.

| 0:04.8 | Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to seeing other people unfiltered. |
| 0:14.0 | Each Thursday on Unfiltered, I'll be bringing on a different anonymous guests to open up about their real life dating experiences. |
| 0:20.6 | We'll discuss what |
| 0:21.3 | they went through or are going through, how they navigated it, what they've learned, and |
| 0:24.9 | what advice they have to anyone else going through something similar. Unfiltered is your |
| 0:29.0 | reminder that no matter what you're going through, you're not alone. If you have a topic that |
| 0:33.0 | you'd like to discuss on Unfiltered, please email your story to seeing other people podcast at |

| 0:42.9 | seeing other people unfiltered. I'm 34 years old from Connecticut, born and raised, still work here. |
| 0:49.7 | And I'm here to talk about a previous relationship that I just got out of over the summertime, |
| 0:57.8 | and to really just have it as a good experience of what constitutes a healthy relationship, |
| 1:05.7 | what you should have in terms of expectations when you are in a healthy relationship |

| 1:18.0 | really can sometimes put to the side for someone else when you're kind of wrapped up in a |
| 1:22.7 | relationship. And there's going to be shades of many things from prior episodes that I can go over to, you know, dating someone from work, which is the situation and that you just talked about. |
| 1:33.6 | And things that, you know, you find yourself doing and showing up for someone that's not being reciprocated or kind of signs to look out for when it comes to expressing some feelings and just some personal growth at the end of it in terms of reprioritizing yourself and kind of making yourself the main focus and having someone be a nice compliment to that versus the other way around. |
