Eli delves into the psychological impacts of being in these grey zones, discussing how to identify if you're being treated as a placeholder and what to do about it. He emphasizes the importance of self-respect, setting clear boundaries, and recognizing one's worth to break free from toxic cycles and move towards healthier, fulfilling relationships.   00:00 Cold open00:32 Intro01:09 Eli's Personal Journey05:02 What is a 'Rent-a-Girlfriend'?10:04 The Reality of Situationships17:28 Gameboy Girlfriends26:44 Moving On33:09 Outro   Follow Eli online: https://www.tiktok.com/@itselivazquez https://instagram.com/itselivazquez https://www.instagram.com/theselfhypepodcast/ https://twitter.com/SelfHypePod https://www.youtube.com/@theselfhypepodcast   This podcast was edited using PodShuttle, the fully-remote podcast editing and management service owned and operated by CHOBO Studios.
