S4 EP2: Why am I a Floater Friend?


Listen Later

Ever felt like you've got loads of friends but you're close to none of them? Like you're nobody's first call, floating through every group and belonging to none? There's a name for it now, thanks to TikTok: the floater friend.


In this episode, my sister and I, both recovering floaters, sit down to ask why am I the floater friend? We get into what it actually feels like, why it happens, and the one thing that changed everything for us both: vulnerability. Not the trauma-dumping kind, but the quieter, scarier kind. The kind where you let people in, share in real time, ask for help, and invite your friends into your actual life. We keep it honest too. Sometimes you're not the problem. You're just barking up the wrong tree, trying to get close to people who just aren't interested in that closeness with you, when the friends who actually want it might be somewhere you haven't looked yet. If you've ever felt like you're floating, this one's for you. And as always, let God surprise you. There are people who love you far more than you realise.
