Nuance Needed

21. Stop Flaking On Your Friends!


Listen Later

In this candid episode, therapists Sam and Amanda discuss Sam's recent experience with a TikTok going viral. After posting about friendship and flaking culture, Sam faced unexpected backlash leading to a broader conversation about social media, nuance, and connection in today's world. The hosts explore:

  • How legitimate concerns about accessibility and mental health can sometimes be weaponized to avoid discomfort
  • The erosion of our collective ability to say "this doesn't apply to me" and keep scrolling
  • The importance of maintaining friendships despite busy lives and different life stages
  • Practical ways to maintain connections when you have limited capacity
  • The difference between genuine barriers to connection and avoidance
  • How social media has complicated our expectations for socializing
  • The long-term investment of friendship and why it matters.
