Welcome back to Wild Two Miles podcast.
And do you know what?
We have got something to tell you.
We've got a confession.
We're pregnant.
We're engaged.
We're engaged.
We may as well be bloody engaged at this rate.
We do everything together.
I know literally.
But anyway, go on.
Fill them in.
Okay, so do you know the last seven episodes that were filmed and that we've done?
We filmed them in.
February
we literally
filmed them in two days
like you know what
that was trial and error
so a lot of the things that we're doing
at the minute is trial and error
and
because we did think that
it would be really good
if we're kind of both them
and then got them all out of the way
but I was PMSing
that whole time
yeah you were
the whole time
now you're ovulating now
and I'm ovulating now and I'm ovulating
No, can you tell?
And now I'm on my period.
Can you tell?
Brilliant.
Yeah, no.
So honestly, I was saying to Nicole, a couple of weeks ago, like all these little things that
are going kind of, not wrong, but that are, like, quite tiring and stressful and things
don't go the way that you want them to go.
All of these things, when you're building something and you can look back at it, these are
like little testimonies, aren't there?
Yeah.
Not a testimony.
A test.
These are little tests, little lesson.
what's a testimony
testimony is like a review
a review yeah
these are tests yeah
no these are like little tests
and then obviously like when we'll look back
when we've like built something
yeah we can be like what the
yeah like because even now
like we look back and we'll look at that
that we filmed seven episodes
in two days
and we actually filmed 12
yeah and a lot of them were just not
able to use the sound like all these
like little things it was a lot yeah we could look back and we'd be like oh my god but look like
we pulled through we made it and that like i'm quite proud like do you know what i mean and now i just
feel like it's so much better to film this in real time like in the week that we release it because
like we've got lads we've got so many life updates and like even when they were going out i was
like we were talking about fellas who i honestly couldn't put a finger on who the hell we were
talking about it was like who the fuck is that yeah and
I had to sit with myself being like, who is that?
Who we're talking about?
Who are we talking about?
Real time shit.
Real time.
We apologize.
So let's, we don't have to apologize.
What are you apologising for?
We apologize for not giving you real time shit.
Do we need, we don't need to apologize for that.
Okay.
Listen, at the end of the day, that was kind of what we're doing is we're thinking about, like,
because we're thinking about what had been happening.
Yeah.
Throughout, like, previously.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
had a lot of valuable lessons in those lessons in lessons episodes yeah we were talking about
generic topics but i think we kind of want to talk more real time now so i think they're all great
episodes oh fantastic um but they're so funny i love them i love so funny yeah they're so funny
i love those episodes um but we purposely picked topics that we didn't have to be in real time
for chatting about yeah and obviously we'll still touch on all those sort of topics anyway yeah
but yeah i'm excited to film this on a weekly basis i know so it's burnt myself out yeah
can't wait literally yeah i'm excited um that was fun probably won't do it again yeah very tired um
but yeah to update all the fellas that i was talking about are not in my life by the way just to let you
know bye bye bye girl bye princess yeah absolutely wet wipes no but do you know what though
i'm in the um actually i don't care losers sorry i love the little internal conversation
shahas for myself that also was mean sure pick up but um i feel like right because obviously
when i'm on hinge i'm like oh it would be really nice to just like date and like basically do
life with someone and like experience like the mundane things with a partner you can't say that
people don't want that it is nice to have that like even when we're in the house and like say
for instance like i'll cook the tea she'll wash the dishes yeah like you know she'll put the
washing the wash machine I'll take it out and hang it up like it's yeah these like little moments where
when you've got a partner is good but none of me basically are in a relationship it's just so funny
this is where I'm going to so I have sat down with myself and I've had a little conversation with myself right
I don't want a boyfriend like I've come to the conclusion that actually I don't want a boyfriend
there was someone had said this on um TikTok it was a viral TikTok it was a viral TikTok
and someone said that a very amazing man is just a basic woman oh my god that is so true
like so like being emotionally in tune with you listening to what you're saying like you know
helping you navigate like certain situations in your life when you're feeling stressed or giving
you like the pep talks are like advocating for you and like building you up giving you giving you
the affirmations women do that naturally yeah that's so true a lot of my friends and the people
that i've got around it's like they do that naturally yeah do you know what i seen the other day
as well which is similar to that i see i listened to a podcast on it so um grace beverly's podcast
shout out grace beverly um obviously i we both have burnout i burn out for years and she did an
episode on burn out there like last week of the week previous and she was saying that in this day and
women like years ago women were just like cooking and cleaning but in this day and age there's such a
culture for like grafting and being successful but the cooking and cleaning side is still there so as a
woman you you are taking on a man's role and a woman's role all in one and that's why women are
getting so burnt out now it's because you're doing everything the nine to five or the fucking
nine to one a m at night like fucking like you yeah yeah yeah
and then you're cooking and you're cleaning and you're doing everything and that is why everyone's
getting so burnt out yeah but i think what it is is it's not necessarily a man's job to go to work
but that used to be but that's what it used to be exactly what it is is it's like i think like people
want these old traditional values of like you know women kind of doing all of these things in the
house making the household pretty and nice and stuff like that and then like men come home and
just put their feet up because they've been grafting all day there's still this underlie there's
still that ideology underlining yeah still that like conditioning kind of underlining so now
obviously like women don't have to marry to get a bank account right so women are going out and
doing that own thing so like it is my honestly like it's just such a it is a wild topic when you
get into it it really really is it's a deep topic and I just feel like bloody whole three episodes on
this topic
I could do the whole
swear to God
I could do the whole
series on it
yeah I know
it is such a deep topic
I know but let's
it makes sense though
it makes sense though
because like
you know
equally I feel like
sometimes there's just
not a lot of help
is that like when you
it's very hard to live on your own
like I have
especially being a neurodivergent
like I've got ADHD
diagnosed
and then I've been told that
I need to go and get an autism
sometimes as well like but like it is really difficult to live on your own it is like you know
coming up like when for instance like if we like I was saying before like you do the cleaning I'll cook
like hate the chores yeah the chores I split and it's like so much easier anyways going back
that's why I don't want a man because I don't need one yeah yeah no it's so true we literally do
everything together yeah I think even like okay guys we've come into this new routine
which is hilarious for me because I've never done anything like this before
we are getting up at 6 a.m. every morning I'm going to bed like going into bed at about
9 30-ish 9 and we're going for a walk in the morning and I feel so good now yesterday
wanted to absolutely curl up on the couch all day because I didn't get to sleep until like
11 or something yeah but this new routine is so good doing it with someone else I would
never do it by myself but this is the thing and it told me accountable as
well because like say for instance like if I'm like oh I can't pay bother like listen you're
always going to listen to your body anyways if you really can't like today we're going to
go on a walk this morning but obviously too tired I'm 30 and my feet had been really swollen so I was
just like no I'd been walk I'd literally done so many steps um so I climbed to the O2 basically
yeah when I'm telling you that I wanted to curl up on the couch all day I ended up climbing
the fucking O2 building like
what the hell and this is the thing like so obviously like you listen like you have to listen to your
body when it tells you listen slow down so we're trying to get into a routine we've done a good
few days now of like getting up at six going on an hour and 10 20 minute walk in bastersea park
and just like it's so nice having a coffee having a little walk and just like move my body getting
a few steps in and it really does energize it but then when it gets to two in the afternoon pool
I am dead oh yeah I'm dead as well yeah but I do like
the morning routine of it all yeah same like I was on the phone to my dad and he was like oh yeah
I've been doing it for years like it makes you feel so motivated and good you just need to get
into that routine yeah so that's where we are right now is we're living together because
bethens come down to London I was up in Newcastle filming the last few episodes yep so we are
basically yeah doing everything together as we always bloody well do yeah we do and but I love that
like we do the shopping together like so much easier I need to body double as well like
body double for my brain yeah but basically if anyone knows doesn't know what body double in
it is oh yeah it is a tool that um people who have got ADHD really benefit from and so if
you google body doubling what it is it's basically where even being in the same room as someone
else can spark off more um motivation for someone who has ADHD yeah um and we benefit so
much from that living together like literally because the minute say for example like if you
say if I'm like working and I'm doing this
you bounce off my work and the same
with you like if you're doing your emails I'll get
my laptop out and I'll start doing mine
honestly I'm not an email girl please
but it's easier together yeah
because then you're like you're doing it together
so yeah if you've got ADHD that's just a little
nugget little tip there for you yeah that is
that is the sweet spot it's chef's kiss
it's chef's even if you aren't even if you don't
have anyone to live with even just
FaceTime and someone whilst you're doing things
that's really good so um dating go on right now i never told this story because it this just
popped into my head by the way um because i was looking at just a point that i wanted to make on
dating so basically this happened i was dating this guy right and this is after the last few
episodes had aired uh i was dating this guy who i went on a date with last year and then i sacked him
because he was a bit bizarre on the first day asking me to go back to his and i was like are you actually
well in the head like really really strange
and then do you know what I hate is I had to come up I felt like I had to come up with some excuse
and be like oh just being like no so I was like oh I need to go home and feed my cat and he was like
well let's get an Uber all the way back to yours and then you can get an Uber back to mine I was
like are you actually serious like take no for an answer anyway this is wild so myself and my
friend were out for drinks maybe two three months ago well we had met him actually in a bar
in I don't know who we're talking about sorry guys you do you do you do the same
stalker.
Sorry, that's me
and he's technically
not really a stalker,
but maybe he is after this
story.
So basically,
basically, remember we
met him?
Oh, yeah.
And I had sacked him off
for your previous
and he wanted to like,
or maybe it was like
eight months ago,
whatever.
Right.
Yeah.
So he wanted me up again.
So I was like,
you know what he was looking well?
Maybe I'll just give him
one more chance.
I'll just go for a drink.
Guys, trust your fucking gut.
Never give him one more chance,
okay?
So we end up going for a drink,
whatever.
That was grand.
I actually came to the date
quite drunk.
because I had an event beforehand, so don't know what my body was trying to tell me there.
But anyway, great date.
Well, no, not great date.
It was bloody well average.
Then I went out the following Saturday, like a few days pre or after, and met him for a drink because he lives in the same building as one of my best friends.
So he was up on the rooftop.
We were having a drink.
He said some really inappropriate thing with my friend there.
I remember who we're talking about now.
Yeah.
yeah okay yes he did what do you what do you say again he was like something for his dick like and
i was he he he had just met my friend and i was like that is so weird at 32 years of age i get some
get a grip social social cues so i know but i can say some appropriate shit sometimes and i'm
like oh my god what's wrong no but he kept doing it though and i was like come on like anyway
so he asked where we were going i was like oh we're going to this bar he was like oh i'm going
to the town next door and we're going to go for a few drinks myself and the lads I was like
grand so anyway myself my friend are in this bar he texts me being like hey you're still there
and I was like yeah and then he was like is it busy uh sorry he texts me being like hey you still
there is a busy and I never text back because it was like I'm having fun with my friend
text me again being like mind if I join for one I never text back text me again being like
hey I'm here where are you I'd never text this guy back now okay so there was like four messages
then he tried to call me so myself and my friend and he said that his friend was ill
and had to leave but I found out the next day that he came alone hon you weren't invited
firstly don't follow me somewhere yeah like really fucking creepy in my opinion and like he's a nice
guy in terms of like actual human being he seems quite nice but like but that made you feel a
bit uncomfortable like I had to I left the bar I was like I don't want to see him
him now and then because I was actually going to see him maybe the day after for a drink or
something I don't know but then I was like actually never again so since then I have not been on
any dates I'm a little bit traumatised I feel like you have to vet these men find them in bloody
company's house find their address find out what they've done for a living the past 20 30 years
like you need to bet these people yeah I didn't get him properly unfortunately but I feel like
maybe it's just it's one of them things that maybe just social cues were missed
Do you know what I mean?
Because, like, for example.
Right.
I don't deal well with men who can't pick up on social.
Pick up on social.
That makes me feel so uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Like, I'm an empath.
I feel other people's emotions.
My friend was so uncomfortable.
I felt sick.
Yeah.
So I was like, that's not for me.
Yeah.
I think you've got very good social cues.
You said that you don't, but you do.
Because I, I don't know.
No, you do.
I honestly would not be able to be around you.
Right.
You didn't.
Right.
Sometimes I feel.
Like, I'm like, I don't know whether that's because I've got a bit of, um, what's it called?
Rejection sensitivity from ADHD.
Like, I really, I'm so hyper-visulent with people's, like, facial expressions, body language.
Yeah.
And sometimes that tone and it can really throws off.
That's why I'm, I've got really bad social anxiety now.
Like, and I never, ever had it, which is so bizarre.
Um, but yeah, like, I've done a lot.
Oh my God, listen to this.
This is just a little, I've done a lie.
for Charlotte Crosby for Pepper Girls Club
Like a few weeks ago
Like maybe a week or two ago
So obviously I don't really do a lot of lives anymore
But I have done lives in the past
Like I've been on live on TikTok and stuff like that
Anyways
So for some reason I got changed in like one of the outfits
And I was like on the live
And there was like a few people sat there like
Doing the monitoring of like the chat
And like if anyone asks questions
because if the host can't see it,
then they'll shout the questions off.
And this really big rush of anxiety rushed over us, right?
And all I could hear was my heart beating.
Oh, no.
And I could feel it pumping through my chest.
And, like, all I could think about is everyone on this live
and in front of me in this room is going to see
is have a panic attack.
And I was in my head so bad.
It brings it on more then.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And I was just like, oh, my God.
And I don't know if anyone knows.
I mean I don't know if you watch the live
I don't know if you notice but like I was literally like
oh can I get a like a drink of water
is that all right they're like yeah yeah that's fine
and I was literally out of shot of the live
for like literally two seconds and I was like drinking the water
and I could feel me handshaking
it was just the most bizarre feeling ever
and that's why I feel like I've got bad social
like cues because I'm just like
why am I so awkward like
I was literally just on a I've literally done TV shows
how am I not comfortable like not that I wasn't comfortable because I was comfortable
but like how am I having these really weird things that come over is where I start panicking
I hate lives as well though and I would get panicky as well I don't know what it is is it because
it's happening in real time and you feel like you've got no control over anything maybe like for
me that's what it is but I've been in TV that's that's always been the case like yeah
that's also true but then maybe that's what spurred this on because I'm so like because
of things being portrayed in a certain way
that maybe isn't the full extent of the story
so then maybe my brain is like
I don't know, I really don't know
but like sometimes I do feel like sometimes I can
ramble on a bit like especially when I'm
maybe it is just the pressure of being in real time
and like for instance when I done
we're done a white fox event a couple of weeks ago as well
and we're done these like little interviews
you know before we went in they were like
oh talk about your outfit and like I'm really not good with
on the spot questions. Even when we were looking back at a podcast episodes that we filmed
and we were going through them. Yeah. And like, I was like, I asked you a question. You were like,
I'm not going on the spot questions. You're like, I can't think on the spot. And that's so fair.
Yeah, but really, I've got really, really, really bad memory. Like, I've got really bad like memory
recall. And I don't know, I don't know why that is. But yeah, I just, I do feel like, I don't know,
feel a bit awkward but then at the same time
I just feel like I'm just changing so much
yeah but I think we all are
like do you know
something that kind of relates to that
and like people changing
so we ask people to ask questions
on our Instagram this morning
and someone asked
now I can't be on my phone
because it like connects to my podcast equipment
for some weird reason
but the general consensus of the question
was about friendship breakups
and someone breaking up with a friend
and oh has my laptop just gone off?
No.
Someone breaking up with a friend
and basically just trying to navigate that.
Yeah.
And we both now,
I feel like people have been waiting
for me to comment on different things
with a certain friendship breakup that has happened.
I'm not going to delve deep into anything
because I don't want to right now.
Maybe when I'm ready to speak about it in the future.
It was really, it was a really hurtful thing.
I think friendship breakups are very painful,
if not more painful.
well maybe not to some people but sometimes can be more painful than actual relationship breakups
and they're very and very awkward to navigate as well because at the end of the day like people just have
different opinions yeah and like different values different values different opinions and sometimes
people just grow apart and I think that that's essentially what happens when you grow yeah when you get older
and you've got different life paths sometimes you grow apart yeah I think like the whole situation
for me
if you know you know about
you would just I think I was just
I was so hurt
and it took years
to call yourself out of it
and I actually feel like if I'm to go
like even think about it it still upsets me
and I think I never
you can't like time's a healer
like there is like friendship breakups
are so difficult and like
with the relationships and situations
that I've had I'll only be sad
for like a few months
but with this it was a long time
and I think it's just so difficult to navigate
because I actually don't think a lot of people talk about friendship breakups
because it is such a sensitive topic
you don't want to upset people
exactly and that's a thing as well
like I think when kind of like when you're in relationships
and stuff like that
like it's talked about so much
so like there's no kind of
it doesn't feel weird talking about it
but when you talk about friendship breakups
like it does slightly feel weird talking about it
because I mean especially if you're like if you're a good person like you don't want to hurt
that other person you don't want to say anything that might upset that other person even if there
were an asshole like yeah yeah yeah yeah because you don't because like at the same time
like I do think that sometimes friendship relationships can be so a lot deeper than actual
relationship relationships I would say yeah because like you share everything like you know the ins
and outs of everything that's
me and like want it
do you know what I mean?
And sometimes maybe with a partner
you would keep certain things like
apart like even if you're in the fucking toilet
having a shit like sometimes you wouldn't want your partner
scene but when you wear your breath
you don't know what you're like oh I've got it stinks
yeah
it's different like it's different
it's such a different dynamic
yeah
but I think ultimately what it is
is like you know sometimes like you
you can hit
people and people can hurt you and it's just one of those things um where i think you're still
healing i'm still healing what three years on that doesn't matter two years on it could take it doesn't
matter time is a healer at the end of the day and i feel like we met each other obviously years ago
but we came properly into each other's lives when we were going through the same thing with friendship
breakups and oh my god i've never been so blessed and lucky to have you in my life just for everything
though i feel like you're just so loyal you're so funny you're so nice you help i know what i mean
but i think like everything happens for a reason and people grow apart and that's fine but i think if
you're sorry what we're going to no no i just want to just say if you're going through a friendship
breakup like just take it easy like you're not going to be over in a few months unfortunately
well it depends how deep the friendship was
depends on how you feel about it as well
sometimes you can be over it like that
I've had friendships where like I fell out with friends
and like they've done things to us
and like said awful things
and made me feel like a really terrible person
and I've just been like
I'm in the mindset now where I've had that much like
experience of just like
you know falling out with people and things
where I'm just like you know what
I find it easier to be like right
I'm not put myself through
this heart ache and this pain anymore
if you want to be
if you want to behave like that
you behave like that if you think that of me
you think that of me I'm in the stage
of my life now where I'm like
my piece is more important than
keeping people around us who don't want to be around
us if you don't want to be around us
that's fine speak up
see you later that is fine
no hate
literally cared about people a lot
love you a lot but
we're just not meant to be in each other's lives anymore and I think like for us sometimes
we find it hard like when we think when we want like certain situations to be a certain way
that's what can cause a lot of resistance yeah internally of like like oh like that like kind
of like pulling resistance yeah but pulling resistance does that make sense don't know you know
couldn't tell you but I know what you mean yeah like but when you just kind of like
surrender to the reality of what is
life gets a lot fucking easy
it does when you surrender and you go
you know what that happened
can't change it
you don't seem that apologetic about it
it is what it is yeah actually that is so true
like just surrender to it just like don't fight it
just like it is last as 8 billion people in the world
move on
for sure and I think like therapy like obviously helps
and like reading self-help books and listening to self-help podcast but also i think which is a
really really important thing is actually cultivating um more connections because i think for sure
especially in the very like wellness self-development community it's always like you know do your
sound baths do your meditation you do not heal in isolation and that is why especially if you
go through a situation i don't know if anyone's ever been through someone's definitely been
this and this is for you so if you've been through a situation where you've had a group of
friends that have isolated you right isolation is the worst thing it is the worst thing genuinely
as like a um a social as like a social like byproduct of a situation for you to isolate
yourself is very very dangerous um for your mental health
so cultivating a community of people that truly truly support you and truly say who you want
or you know wanting to help you that's where you're actually going to find a lot of healing
yeah not in the self-help books or the yoga or the meditation or the breathwork did heal me
a lot though what they're doing the self-health oh yeah like they're tools their tools yeah
meditation sound healing yoga somatic healing all of these things are tools
the thing that's really going to help you
is cultivate and real connections
you need people around you
you can't be locked in your room by yourself
like you need to go out and make friends
like we want to join a wrong club
yeah we can't run for shit
but I did one on TikTok
for people who can't run
and it's like a social thing
yeah we'll join a book club we were saying as well
I've read two books in my life
one of which was Cheryl Cole's autobiography
like I don't read but I'm like
I want to meet like minded people
not necessarily about the reading but people
who are just really nice do you know what I mean yeah for sure I mean I definitely think that
getting hobbies and things and finding what your hobbies are and then like you'll meet people
who have got the same hobbies if that makes sense yeah find out with the hobbies yeah yeah so obviously
for for me my hobby is watching TV and watching movies I love it I love it I love watching
Marvel movies and stuff but I want some active hobbies hobbies I want to do like I want to get back
into my pool fitness and stuff yeah how funny is it I think
feel like this podcast is very like
yeah it is but that's our brains like
oh great brain over here brain over here
going jumping from one thing to the other like
you know what I mean do you apologize if this is chaotic
this is probably how it's going to be for the rest of time
so if you don't like it then
listen to another podcast
wait can I just touch on something
that I just thought about right
so I was so stressed I constantly
do live in a state of fight or flight
like my body has been like that for years
so I went to Reiki Heel
and basically
last month I went to Ibiza for my 30th
and I was terrified
with like I can't deal with social settings
and someone actually did ask a question on this
as well today on our Instagram
and they were like
about social battery running out
and any idea on what to do to fix it
you may be an empath
so if your social battery runs out quite quick
when you're in very like
highly populated
busy settings
you're more than like
restaurants
that stuff
you're probably an empath
so what an empath is
is that you pick up
on other people's energies
and how they feel
so that's why
what I was saying
with people's socials
if they've got bad social cues
and they make other people
feel uncomfortable
I want to die
like I feel so uncomfortable
I pick up on everyone's feelings
it is the most draining thing
in the world
so a family member
told me that I was an empath
there seven years ago
when I first moved to London
didn't know what it was
looked it up and then I was like oh my god so much in my life makes sense so that's why I can't now
go into busy social settings which is such an issue for me um so I went to a Reiki healer to like
kind of help me navigate everything guys when I tell you I believe in all this stuff but I'm kind
of skeptical about Reiki because I've never had it done before so I was thinking god like what
can so much can she do by waving her hands over me do you know what I mean I've never experienced
anything like it in my life.
Good, isn't it?
She had her hands on my temples
and it was like she was pulling threads.
And then she had, guys, you're going to
die at what she told me.
So I was wearing these really thick
tractsuit bottoms. Was I telling you this?
I feel like I was. You did, you told us.
So I was wearing these really thick
tractsuit bottoms. And she had
her hand on my reproductive
area, just over it, like hovering over it.
The ovaries.
Overees, yeah. Yeah, not the vagina
because that would be a molestation.
But we need to clarify.
Sorry.
Clarify laugh.
not the vagina but the
ovary area
unless she put her hands in
on my leg straight after
they were like hot water bottles
like they were roasting hot
and then afterwards she was like
you've got so much negative energy
around your reproductive area
so basically and she was saying
it's about the men that I've gotten with
and used to date
isn't that insane
and I got up off the bed
and when I tell you it was like I had 10 spa days
in one hour
like I've never felt so lifted and my friend went to her a month previous and she had to get a taxi home because she was so grounded she couldn't lift her legs off the floor yeah Eva yeah oh my god she's getting a taxi home because she couldn't lift her legs off the floor isn't that insane that is I felt them the same and I went out and I've never felt so calm
do is a fee of her give me 14 of them right now yeah yeah you need to go see her she's only down the road yeah gorgeous but yeah so anyway when it comes to like social battery and what I'm
not like she gave me a book to read which
oh shit I can't remember what it is right now but it's
about um oh so the survival guide for an empath or something
and I've been listening to it because I don't actually read books
so you're more of a podcast girl yeah I like listening to stuff
and basically she gave me a piece of advice in the book
and I went out for a drink last weekend with one of the girls
and I was freaking out in case I was so tired
and wanted to go home but I listened to the book anyway beforehand
and she said imagine your belly button is
connected to
someone else's
belly button
and there is
like a line
of energy
and it's glowing
a cord
yeah
and sniff the cord
and imagine yourself
in a bubble
with all white light
you're radiating
but it's like
your protective
energy
and like just however
you want to think
about it
protect yourself
protect your energy
think of it
as a completely
different
environment
to where you are
and gosh shit
I really hope
that that is the name
of the book
because it was so good
something
look up
books and it's like orange and white cover um but yeah so if you struck up with social energy
when you're out you may be an empath look into that and also we're getting older and that's
also a thing maybe the socializing just isn't for us anymore I think like obviously where I definitely
think that when you get older like I think you get so many life experiences where equally
when you're younger you kind of just hang about when you're on like because I think you don't
you're not as like socially literate.
And then when you start to hang out with people
and then you start getting fucked over
and you start experiencing a lot of like hurt and pain,
you start to be a bit more protective of your energy, don't you?
And you're just like, hmm, do you want to need to be there?
Do you want to need to do this?
No, probably don't.
So I'm not going to do it.
And I think maybe that also comes from a little bit of a fear
of like being hurt again though.
Yeah.
Do I mean?
Potentially.
Just try and protect yourself.
Yeah, like you're just trying to protect yourself really.
Yeah.
but yeah
I think
God
so yeah
being social
is just
fucking draining
isn't it
we don't like anyone
thank you
we don't like being around
anyone apart from each other
thank you
you
just
stay together
for the rest of the days
I know literally
we're
me and Ralph
the cat
I know literally
no literally
no but then
equally I feel like
it also depends
on like where you're at
energetically as well
because I
think sometimes I can have a really good time like I remember so many times where I've been
out and I've just like you know met people and it's just been such a good night and it's kind
of like I don't know what it is but as I'm getting older like I'm not experiencing that as
much yeah when I was younger I can remember just so many times where like I'd just go out and
you'd meet random girls and then you'd just be like hanging off each other's next all night
but then equally you're kind of in the drinking scene as well though aren't you so like
you're drunk and you're not like you're like uh yeah yeah
floating about so I don't know I don't really know all I'm going to say is um social
burnout is a real thing and then I think also as well I think just trying to align with
people who have the same interests as you because you'll never be drained by people who
have got the same eat up that is eat that shit that is perfect you will not feel drained
with people who you bounce off yeah only feel drained from people who are taking you
taking your energy
and yeah
that's what I would say
so what you need to take away
from this episode is
find people who are the same interests
join some clubs
yeah fuck all the men off
fuck all the men off
get a wife
get yourself
get a platonic wife
yeah yes
exactly
and yeah if you're an empath
read that book
I was on the boat
it has an orange and white cover
I can't really remember the name of it
and cultivate
a good community as well if you are feeling shit don't isolate yourself isolation's good
in moderation right but listen to recharge listen to this though listen so um your brain when you isolate
your brain if you isolate for too long your brain sees that as danger because you're actually
a social creature oh yeah just end the episode on that end the episode on that as well because
I just want to let you know just to how important it is though because I isolate
and sometimes I think I over-isolate it
and it really makes a spiral and goes worse
and I just don't want that for use
because it's really uncomfortable
it's really not a nice thing
no it's the worst but sometimes isolation is great
alright
yeah but a mix of the both
all right hope that makes sense
but anyways thank you so much for tuning in
and leave some comments down below
because we need to start
we need to know more things that we should talk about
because YouTube comments
