Hi everyone✨
Here are the possible topics for the next podcast.
Which one would you like to listen to the most?
I added brief agendas for clarity (separated with “/” for easy reading)👇
① Why do “nice people” get tired so easily?
The psychology behind over-caring / Anxiety and guilt hidden in kindness / Why saying no is difficult / How blurred boundaries drain energy / Ways to protect your emotional space
② Why relationships get harder as we become adults / Why we lose friends
Changing values and priorities / The exhaustion of fitting in / Moments when “distance” stops matching / Adult-specific social struggles / How to identify relationships that make life easier
③ In love, which is happier: chasing or being chased?
The mindset of the one who “chases” and why they do it / The comfort and pressure of being “chased” / Power balance and emotional dynamics / Patterns of relationships that last / How to know which type brings *you* more happiness
④ Can men and women really be “just friends”?
Different boundaries between interest and friendship / Conditions for long-lasting friendship / Moments when expectations shift / Emotional safety and healthy distance / Rules for adult cross-gender friendships
