Are We Actually Okay? Or Are We Just Really Good at Pretending? | Ep. 8

“I’m fine” — but are we? In this episode, we’re talking about the feelings we don’t say out loud, pretending we’re unbothered when we actually care so much, staying busy so we don’t have to think, and sometimes not even knowing what we’re feeling ourselves. Trying to keep it together while absolutely not having it together — a very 20s experience. A little honest, a little chaotic, and probably a little too relatable.  Chaptering:  00:24 - Question 01:35 - Title introduction 02:33 - Things we never say out loud 10:18 - Different people know different versions of us 13:53 - Can people who know us well, misunderstand us? 15:32 - We’re not as unbothered as we pretend to be 18:46 - Are we actually okay?  What does it mean for us? 22:50 - If we had nothing planned tomorrow, would we actually enjoy being alone with ourselves? 26:09 - Maybe we’re just distracting ourselves 30:13 - Fun segment: Things we will never admit! 40:47 - Closing  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twomuchtodi...
