Why do we hold on to people who were never really ours?
In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of “the one that got away” — the bittersweet obsession with unfinished love stories and unresolved emotions.
From dopamine, nostalgia, and memory distortion to the quiet ache of “what if,” we explore why some connections feel impossible to forget — and how to finally let them rest.
Because sometimes, closure isn’t found in going back — it’s found in understanding why it still hurts.
