Episode notes
Relationships Are A Skill
- We treat relationships like pass/fail tests instead of skills you can learn and practice.
- Admit you don't know and intentionally learn basic relational habits like listening and respect.
Loneliness Is Killing People
- Loneliness harms people at a population level and fuels addiction and despair.
- John Delony warns we are literally "dying of loneliness" and must rebuild real connection.
Use Presence As Your Primary Response
- When someone faces rejection, sit with them and offer your time and presence first.
- Don't rush to fix; provide empathetic silence and steady accompaniment while they process.
