This episode is me talking through how I learned to be the "best friend" at a young age - not because it was my nature, but because belonging felt conditional. Being placed into a new environment as a child taught me that connection came from trying harder and showing up more. What started as survival slowly became a way of being. It became how I moved through friendships without even realizing it. This isn't about losing myself - its about recognizing a learned behavior and unlearning what I no longer need to carry.
