Ever tried being nice to someone you can’t stand? Yeah—same. In this episode, we’re diving head-first into:
💬 Why fake niceness should be a crime
🧠 How to stay real without losing your sanity
👻 Superstitions that still make us knock on wood
🎶 The songs that hit different when you’re grieving
🪩 Adult friendships, social overstimulation, and themed costumes we probably took too far
We’re talking authenticity, awkward small talk, and all the emotional chaos that makes being a grown-up feel like a group project nobody wanted to lead.
Hot take: You don’t have to like everyone—just don’t be a weirdo about it.
