Do You Really Need to Be Liked?

I’m asking a question most people never stop to think about. Do you need to be liked? I’ve always told myself I don’t, but sometimes I wonder if it’s the world that’s off or is it just me. From traveling solo and eating alone to watching how my dad treated people with kindness that didn’t always pay off for me, this one’s about what it means to do life on your own terms.

I dive into what it’s like to be introverted in an extroverted world, how social circles and life can feel like high school all over again, and why being nice doesn’t always lead to success. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a quiet thinker, or just someone who’s tired of chasing approval, this might be your episode.

What is Millian: Unmuted?

Millian: Unmuted is a podcast for saying things out loud when staying quiet stopped making sense. Hosted by Millian: Gen X, introverted, and officially fed up. This show explores the everyday realities, headlines, ideas, and cultural moments that actually matter… or maybe they don’t. No agenda. No performance. Just thoughts, reactions, observations, and the occasional nerve being touched. There’s no script. No schedule. No algorithm chase. No one listens. No one cares. Yet, still doing it anyway!
