Flex and Frooms Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.
It is Flex and Frooms on CATA and in good News, I found a new element of friendship for you to be insecure about. Right, listen to this. Y'all are literally shitty friends because every time someone gets distant, you automatically assume it's about you. I'm losing my mind. I had to moullew that for a second because I was like, wait, wait a second, I don't feel that way. And then I thought, no, no, no. For my inner circle, if you're in a bad mood around me, I'm going to presume
it's me. And I wasn't like that until I got into a how do you say codependent relationship? And I was like, no, get that energy away from me. Remember one about rules for life was if you're in a bad mood and you have a social event and that social event isn't going to like perk you up, don't
go because misery is contagious. And I think a lot of the times we're feeling sad or down, we're feeling spiteful at the same time, and you want to make sure that not only do people know that you're feeling terrible, but you want to bring them down with you, And it's fine. There's community in that. I know, when I'm feeling unwell, I want to be coddled. Don't have fun around me. When I'm feeling sick, down, depressed, angry, sad,
keep the vibe, you know, solemn. But on the flip side, when I see a friend who's having a bad time, especially when I'm like we're out and about or in public, I'm like, babe, decorum, excuse yourself or let me help you, because this isn't working for both of us.
FLEX really said, are you depressed? It needs social isolation, immediately, effective, immediately, stop scary.
That is okay, but there's something that it's a fine balance, right because not everybody who's sad is depressed. Don't do that. Don't do that. We can be sad, but I think we can also be moody, and we can be temperamental, and we can be acutely aware that we have the capacity to pull ourselves in and out of a situation, and often we don't do that, we allow on our environment to do that. Right, I'm in a bad mood. I know I'm gonna come and see you you're gonna
perk me right up. I can't put that on you every time. I can't make you comedic relief every time, so I feel better. But I will say it is a wake up call to not personalize everybody else's feelings. Sometimes people just have a bad day in your presence and have it not be your fault or your responsibility.
Yeah, I think you need to have a certain level of communication iconicness in a relationship in order for that to work. Like I've got one friend who our we maintain a level of communication at all times that I'm happy for her to be a bit off and she says it straight away and then it's fine. Yeah, But if you do have a bit of murky blurry lines and sometimes you don't know where the person's at, it's not good for somebody who is sensitive.
Yes, And if you don't know who you're at as well, because sometimes as a temperamental moody bitch, I don't know where it's coming from. I caught a vibe. It's an intuitive thing. I saw a look. Now now I'm in an off mood. I can't call it sometimes and sometimes to put a name to it or to define where it's coming from. Probably for the worst, because then I started, I'm like, oh no, it was definitely that cafe. The lady gave me a funny look. Now I'm mad at
the cafe. Wasn't the cafe? Just the vibe. Now the ViBe's gone two.
Days away from the period.
You know where I'm in my flop week. Let's just say I'm in my flop week. You've been listening to the Flex and Frooms Daily podcast.
