“I’m really hoping this comes across as useful for future eps and not just a criticism- a recent podcast just made me so sad. On an “Is it just me” a listener emailed in about feeling lonely as she doesn’t have a group of friends, I really resonated and was excited to hear the girls thoughts and tips. But instead, they went on to describe how many friends they have and how easily they could make a group. They didn’t get it at all. Those connections just aren’t available for a lot of people and it made me feel even more alone. The “just reach out” made it sound so easy… but reach out to WHO. If you’re alone and feeling segregated from friend groups, you don’t have that someone to reach out to… honestly I’ve just listened to this to writing it when I’m still hurt by it. But hoping that in future, if you don’t have a constructive helpful response, maybe just don’t answer the question.”
