Unstuck the “audio” podcast
Episode 5 — The Friendship Fade Out
Opting out is the O in SOS: going quiet, letting things drift, cancelling, or sitting right there at dinner with your head somewhere else entirely. In this episode we look at what avoidance does in friendships, why it works brilliantly for about an hour and badly after that, and how social media lets you stay technically in touch while sharing nothing. We also get into the difference that matters most: space you have actually chosen, and withdrawal you have fallen into.
