Description

Ever catch yourself getting annoyed at the people you love — not because they’re doing anything bad, but because you’ve quietly been carrying the weight of the friendship? When you’re always the one checking in, holding space, or remembering the details, irritation can slowly harden into resentment.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why resentment builds when we don’t address small hurts in real-time
• How unspoken needs lead to emotional scorekeeping 
• The anxiety of speaking up when past friendships didn’t respond well
• Why avoidance always creates more distance than an honest conversation
• How to bring things up early, before the irritation turns into a narrative
• The surprising intimacy that can come from naming a hurt without blaming
• What to do when someone can’t meet you where you are 

Friendship doesn’t require perfection, but closeness can’t survive silence. Naming your needs isn’t dramatic — it’s how relationships grow.
