Welcome to another unfiltered episode of Bonded by BS, where we don’t just talk about relationships—we rip them apart and rebuild them from the ground up. This week, we’re tackling three so-called “virtues” that are supposed to hold everything together—kindness, loyalty, and shared interests—but let’s be real: Are they really what they’re cracked up to be? Or are they just smoke and mirrors holding up a house of cards?

Let’s be honest. Kindness isn’t always as sweet as it sounds. Sometimes it’s about showing up when you’d rather ghost, or doing something nice for someone who’s pissed you off. But here’s the kicker: Does kindness still count if it’s not genuine? Can you fake it till you make it—or does it backfire in the end?

Then there’s loyalty. You hear that word thrown around like a badge of honor. But what happens when loyalty gets twisted? When you're loyal to the wrong person or for the wrong reasons? Is loyalty about sticking it out through thick and thin—or is it about knowing when to walk away and save your sanity?

And don’t even get us started on shared interests. Yeah, we all want that “bonding moment,” but are we just clinging to things in common to avoid the awkward silence? Or are we faking it, playing the part of someone we think we should be? The truth hurts—sometimes shared interests are just a distraction, a cheap way to make connections feel deeper than they really are.

Expect no sugarcoating, no hand-holding, just the cold, hard truth. We’re calling out bullshit on all the nonsense people hide behind and digging deep into what these traits really mean in the world we live in. So buckle up, this episode is gonna get raw, real, and totally unfiltered.
