Most of us were never taught how friendships actually work. So we just let people in, hoped for the best, and then couldn't figure out why we felt constantly drained, disappointed, or like we were always the one showing up.
Jonathan and Dr. Mark get into the relationship framework Jonathan built through counseling and real-life challenges— a three-degree filter that finally gives you language for something most people have felt but never been able to name.
They also get into why the problem usually isn't other people. It's that we've never figured out where people actually fit, so we put everyone in the same place and then wonder why nothing works.
If you've ever felt like you were giving more than you were getting, or like your closest relationships were getting your leftovers, this one's going to land.
