This episode talks about the gut-punch feeling of “everyone is hanging out without me,” why it hits so hard in your twenties, and how to tell the difference between being excluded and just not being included. I share my own stories (past and very present) of feeling left out, the way our brains love to spiral into the worst-case scenario, and why social media is the absolute worst for feeding that narrative. We’ll dig into how to stick to the facts, communicate what you need without playing the blame game, and create connections for yourself instead of waiting for someone to hand you an invite. So if you’re tired of feeling left out and letting your spiraling thoughts take over, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• The difference between being excluded and not being included
• Understanding friendship cycles as you move through your twenties
• Why social media isn’t the mind-numbing resource you think it is
• Ways to communicate your feelings without sounding accusatory
• Why it’s usually not about you
• Stop waiting for the invite, create the event
